Something is very wrong with my "install" of customui in MoI4, in particular the external scripts.
MoI3 seems to be confused about which external scripts to use (?)
I've been copying variations of draft TruchetTile.js files, and the copies do not seem to go to the right command directory,
or else the wrong command directory is being access by MoI3...
It seems that MoI3 is using the font, or the wrong command directory, hard to tell.
Windows copy file command seemed to be saving the local older copy to file as copy(2), instead of saving the file being copied
as copy(2), but maybe this was an illusion.
Anyway I guess I'll wait for Max's customui for MoI4...
Just reporting this strange situation, I am not really crazy.

Hi Brian, so the font thing is because the font name is read from moi.ini , which is shared between v3 and v4. I had intended for V4 to use an entry in moi.ini named UIFontNameV4= so it wouldn't interfere with v3's font name, but unfortunately although it reads from UIFontNameV4= , it still saves to the original UIFontName= property used by MoI v3. So yes if you happen to have the Open Sans font installed in your operating system fonts V3 will start to use it.

I'll have this fixed up for the next v4 beta so v4 will use its own separate property and won't interfere with MoI v3's font name anymore. But for now it shouldn't really be doing any harm other than making it kind of feel like v4 is taking over your v3 I guess!

I don't know about the CustomUI scripts problem, but Max says that he's going to make an updated version of it.

Hi Brian,
I have tried CustomUI on V4 and that's work for me on Mac OS 10.13.1.
If you want you can test with modified CustomUi pack in attachment

Hello Michael!

I'm glad to know that my tests are useful for you.

@You : "...It's looking like the transition to 64-bit and using a new cross platform graphics layer have not run into problems..."

Good. I understand your point of view.
A "no regression" it's kinda like a "foundation" :)

@You : "...Yup, ...it's something that I'll continue once things stabilize and reach full parity with V3...."

Perfect.
I'm pretty sure that this will be a "quantum leap" for Moi in general!
Leveraging on the modern GPU's power makes a huuuuuge difference :)

Ciao e grazie! (in Italian)
(Thanks!)

Hi Michael,
I really miss the snap names when snapping (Mid, End, Int etc..)
Is there a way to get them back?

Thank you,
Max.

Yup, that's it exactly.

They'll definitely be coming back but I still have some work to do for implementing them. It's one of just a couple still unfinished areas, it's not that they're just disabled by a setting or something like that. May be something like a couple more weeks before having these last pieces working again.

Thanks!

Thank you Michael.

I'll wait for Max's update. (The customui is working well in MoI4, as far as I can tell.) But meanwhile, I'll do some more
testing of my file copying (perceived) problem/confusion, with some more elaborate test names for *.js. (I'm using notepad++.)

(I've got 391 windows fonts installed, but do not see Open Sans.)

Hi Finema, thank you, but I'm on Windows7, customui is working, but I seem to have a problem with script file copying(?).

---

Hi Michael,

I noticed that it was more fluid to create solids (sphere, box, plane) on the V3. There is a slight dead time between the first click and the second click on V4.
Also sometimes it is impossible to create the shape after the first click. Pick panel fields stay empty. (it happens randomly)

Thanks

Hi Finema,
the CustromUI runs so far and reacts as desired.
Unfortunately, however, no thumbnails are shown in the Obj Library.
Clicking on the saved. 3DM files does not load the models and new models cannot be saved.
The Ext Scripts window will open as expected - but some scripts won't run at all or abort with an error message.
The Snapshot function works like it should.

Hi Moritz
I only use Extscript, it's because i don't notice thumbnails error.
We are waiting for Max CustomUI update.

To me the beta does not work :(

Hi Tony,

re:
> To me the beta does not work :(

Can you please e-mail me the crash dump file, it looks like it was created at c:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\moi_report5.zip - there may be several there all named moi_report1.zip, moi_report2.zip , etc...

If you can e-mail those to me at moi@moi3d.com that give some information on what might be going wrong.

Thanks,
- Michael

Hi VKNW123, I was just replying to your message about SelectByType not working - I guess you probably already found that it was a plug-in that you installed in V3 and so you need to also install it in V4 by copying it into the V4 commands directory.
