How do you create folder branches in object libraries?

---

Folders can be manually created, for example by file explorer under %appdata%/Objects (MoI4Beta), but the subfolders and their contents, do not seem to be accessible through the Object Library icon, so are of no use. (As far as I know.)

Hello! My MAC user file directory is just Application Data, right? How to implement? Thank you very much!

---

Hi jinyicool, on the Mac your appdata folder is in your home directory, under Library/Application Support/Moi.

So the full path is /Users/[your user name]/Library/Application Support/Moi (or ~/Library/Application Support/Moi).

Note that since OSX Lion Apple decided to hide the Library folder by default from Finder. You can use the "Go to folder" menu option and enter it, or use Cmd+Shift+. to temporarily show hidden files, or use one of the methods mentioned here:

hello

i was looking everywhere for a step by step instruction to install the scrip but honestly, there is just random information flying around, like come on take it, easy guys. i have extracted the file to my fold of installation

C:\Program Files (x86)\MoI 3.0 beta Mar-17-2013

and when i lunch moi i get a Script error :

TypeError: Result of expression 'moi.fiIesystem.getUIDir• [undefined] is not a function.

please someone explain step by step

thank you

Hi semo, that error will happen if you're running an older cracked v3 beta release. CustomUI requires a newer version than that, either the v3 final release or the v4 beta release.

If you are using a cracked version please don't ask for support on the official forum.

Hi Michael Gibson

ohh trust me i did buy moi v3 2 years ago for 300USD , i have been using it for a long time now , so dont assume that i cracked it , i do some times get cracked software but moi was worth it tho.

---

Hi Semo, well the path you give above "C:\Program Files (x86)\MoI 3.0 beta Mar-17-2013" is definitely for a cracked version. That's an old v3 beta release which is not available anymore and has long since expired. The only way you could have that version and be running it now would be by using a cracked version.

So if you did purchase it make sure you're using the actual purchased version and not one that you downloaded from somewhere else. You wouldn't run into that particular error that you reported if you were using the real v3 final release instead of an older v3 beta release.

If you have somehow misplaced the real v3 installer, you can go here to get a new download: http://moi3d.com/reinstall.htm .

Hi Michael Gibson


thank you for your replay , long story short , i bought MOI at work and i had a problem installing it with all the security they had , so in order to bypass the security i dragged and drop the moi file from another computer with no security , and it seems to work fine sense , i got fired from my job and couldn't get all my original files , all i left with is this file ''MoI 3.0 beta Mar-17-2013'' and i know it looks like i got a cracked version i already looked and searched for solutions but i was sure this error is because i don't have it installed the right way ,anyway thanks for your help and god bless .

How do I change the colors for the icons from black as displayed, to white as I have a dark background and they don't show up very well. All my icons are already white so I assume the code in Max's HTML for the four icons in question has something to do with it?
Regards
Ron

Hi Ron, the CustomUI scripts use a button image that is embedded in the script file itself so you'll need to edit the script so the button loads an image file instead of using the embedded image.

To do that go to your MoI appdata startup folder and edit the CustomUI files there like the file "70 ObjLibrary.js" is what adds the "Obj Library" button.
It will currently look like this:

var title = "Obj Library";
var menu = "moi://appdata/customui/ObjLibrary.menu.htm";
var icon = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAEAAAABACAYAAACqaXHeAAAAGX ...
moi.ui.commandBar.CommandBarCustomUI.insertAdjacentHTML( "beforeEnd", '<moi:Spacer/> ...

Comment out line #3 for the icon value by putting a // in front of it, and then add a new line for an image file like this:

var title = "Obj Library";
var menu = "moi://appdata/customui/ObjLibrary.menu.htm";
//var icon = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAEAAAABACAYAAACqaXHeAAAAGX ...
var icon = "icons/YourIconFile.png";
moi.ui.commandBar.CommandBarCustomUI.insertAdjacentHTML( "beforeEnd", '<moi:Spacer/> ...

That should then make it load a file named YourIconFile.png from the ui\icons folder.

The above description is for MoI v4. For MoI v3 you would edit the file "70 ObjLibrary.htm" located in your install directory under ui\customui and change it from this:

<moi:CommandMenuButton menu="customui/mods/ObjLibrary.menu.htm" icon="data:image/png; ...........">Obj Library</moi:CommandMenuButton>

to this:

<moi:CommandMenuButton menu="customui/mods/ObjLibrary.menu.htm" icon="icons/YourIconFile.png">Obj Library</moi:CommandMenuButton>

Hi Michael. Thanks for your help. Just wondered why he would embed the image rather than just pointing to it?
Ron

Hi Ron, no problem!

re:
> Just wondered why he would embed the image rather than just pointing to it?

I'm not sure, maybe something like he wanted to reduce the number of files that had to be managed.

Hi Ogar,

re:

Sorry no there isn't any way set up to show that currently.

- Michael

---

Not quite the z-axis request, but a line can be drawn at the position of the z-axis, even in Front or Right view,
or a construction line can be added.

Hi, I suppose you could add a vertical polyline and colour it however you want then lock it. Save the scene as a template and load from that each time. Not perfect but I think it would work :)
Ron

---

Hi again, could someone point me to the HTML than controls the colour of the panel divider for the 4 views ?
Ron

---

Hi Ron, for the viewport borders that's one of the few remaining things that is controlled by a bitmap image rather than HTML. You can modify it by changing the bitmap ViewportForeground.png in the ui folder.

Hello everyone :)
Newbie here, first post ^_^
Really glad to be part of Moment of Inspiration Family. Thank you for making such wonderful software Michael and HUGE thanks for everyone for making understandable, fast, easy to use, beautiful and most important FUN to work with :)

Have some questions about Custom UI. Some features does not working. Maybe some of you might know and can help me?
(I'm on Moi V3 Windows 10)

Downloaded CustomUI.1.03.win.mac 2015-08-29

1. Obj library - I can not save my objects to library. It lets me name the object, but after hit "OK" the new object did not appears in Obj library next to Max's Cube, Sphere, Plane already created (attached 1st picture)
2. Snapshot does not save my files, or maybe i was looking not in the right MOI "snapshot" folder :(
3. Lightening also does not working. Want to have some highlights on the surface. Maybe this because of lightening script. (attached image)
4. Tested some scripts. Working like a charm :) Not all tested, but happy so far.

So i was wondering is there any solution to fix all this or I should upgrade to V4 Beta?

Many thanks
Appreciate your help.

K.
