Hello,
I just tried to install the customUi for the first time. I followed the instructions and placed the files in the roaming/moi folder but nothing comes up. I'm on Moi3D V3 if that makes a difference.

Hi ICMZ, those instructions only work for MoI v4, for MoI v3 you'll need to use the instructions on the first message of this thread and use CustomUI.1.03.win.mac.zip which is attached at the bottom of that message.

Probably due to restricted permissions, when launching MoI try right-clicking and use "Run as administrator", does it work ok then?

Hey, Max Smirnov!

I've been having an issue with CustomUI that I haven't been able to wrap my head around solving. When I create a new library location that isn't the default object location within the appdata folder, the thumbnails/snapshots taken of the objects in question fail to draw in the UI, however the Object folder continues to work just fine.

I've attached a screenshot showing you the details of my problems. I'm already running MoI with administrator privileges, and I haven't altered the HTM files other than the addition of the a 2nd library location. I'll attach that file as well in case I've somehow entered the path incorrectly.

Hi LocusDio, if I remember right the icons are displayed in the HTML UI using the moi://appdata protocol . So you probably need to have them located under the appdata folder for them to be loaded.

Thank you so much, Michael. I was hoping to avoid having them be saved in the appdata folder, as i have this folder synced with my NAS so i have the ability to access the files anywhere. If this is my only solution, however, I'll gladly accept it.

Thank you so much for your reply, I appreciate the help.

Hi LocusDio, you might try putting in a symlink inside of appdata that links to your other folder. See if this helps:

Maybe you must enable "Show hidden files" ?

Hi Suzanne,

re:

> I'm unable to find this folder with my usersame.

Try using Win+R to bring up the Windows "Run" dialog, and then put in:

%Appdata%\moi

That should then open up the MoI userdata folder. I think it may be in slightly different locations on different Windows versions but there is an environment variable named Appdata and if you put % % around it like above it will substitute it in.

Hi Michael,

I've just started using your wonderful program and I'm wondering if you could help with getting CustomUI to work.

I'm using version 3 and I think I have narrowed down the issue to the commandbar.htm file.

The new version of CustomUI that I've downloaded doesn't seem to have the new version of Commandbar.htm, do you know where I could get this from? I believe the fact that I cannot write over this file is the reason that I can't get CustomUI.

Any help you could provide would be most welcome

Thanks,

Hi TheSpur, the modified CommandBar.htm file for MoI v3 is contained inside the CustomUI.1.03.win.mac.zip which is an attachment on the first message of this thread, go to the bottom of the first message to find the attachments.

It's inside of the \ui subfolder inside that .zip . To install it, the contents of the .zip file are meant to be copied to MoI's main program directory, so there would be new sub-folders for objects and snapshots that are children of the main installation folder, and the contents of the .zip's ui directory should go into MoI's existing ui folder, overwriting the existing CommandBar.htm file.

Hello Everyone,

I am new to using Moi and came across this awesome feature.
However I can’t seem to get the icons to appear in Moi. I am using version 3.0 can anyone help ?

The first instruction for installation is backup/ui/CommandBar ?

Really noob question but I have no idea what this means ?

Thank you in advance

This means that you must maybe save your original folder ui/CommandBar in your favorite save place in case of problem with your future UI! ;)

Hi Takeda, yes part of the installation of the CustomUI extension is that it overwrites one of MoI's files, it's a file named CommandBar.htm that is in the \ui sub-folder inside of MoI's main installation.

So the backup step means to save your original CommandBar.htm file somewhere else so if you have any problem you can restore the original back again without needing to do a full re-install.
