It would be nice if snapshot had a popup menu associated with it, for the different modes.
Maybe an html file could do this?

Hi guys, a quick (and simple I guess) question: how can I install the Custom UI Beta 2 in MoI 4 (Beta Jan 22 2020)?
What I've done so far:
1) Downloaded MoI 4.0 Beta Jan-22-2020 from
http://moi.maxsm.net
2) Unzipped directory and copied into C:\Program Files\MoI 4.0 beta Jan-22-2020
3) Started MoI.exe
After that, I cannot see the custom bar. Is there something I'm missing here? I've been reading the forum, but I cannot find what's wrong. Should be something obvious.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Art.
For Windows 10, the %AppData% path should be used. (Type in %AppData% in the windows search box, lower left corner of Windows 10 screen.)
I would suggest first that your C:\Users\<yourUsername>)\AppData\Roaming\Moi folders be unhidden.
(Google "unhide appdata folder windows 10") ...show hidden folders.
Also helpful is to set up a Library "MoiAppData" in File Explorer, for this path to ...AppData\Roaming\Moi, for quick access.
My Library link usually does not show the \Moi text, but the subdirectory is there.
The contents of this ...AppData\Roaming\Moi directory may be:
Folders:
commands (my extra non stock moi _scripts)
customui
nodeeditor
objects
snapshots
startup
There may also be some misc. files there, like MoiColors, moi license keys, etc.

I scanned this topic back 2 years, and did not see comprehensive instructions for install in Moi v4 beta,
although a lot of issues were addressed.
I'd say follow Max's original instructions, but use %appdata%.

Wow Brian, thanks for this FAST and comprehensive answer.
It is working now. I think your post should be pinned.
Thanks
Art

Hi art, yes like Brian mentions above for v4 you should install it into the appdata folder, not into \Program Files.
Install instructions are here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=6507.268
Try using Win+R to bring up the Windows "Run" dialog, and then type in:
%AppData%\Moi
and push Enter. That will open up the MoI appdata folder.
When you unzip CustomUI.2.0.beta2.zip there should be 3 folders that were inside the .zip . The folders are "customui", "objects", and "startup".
These should be copied over to the %AppData%\Moi folder.
So you should end up with:
%AppData%\Moi\customui
%AppData%\Moi\objects
and there will already be a %AppData%\Moi\startup folder, copy the contents of the startup folder in the .zip file into the %AppData%\Moi\startup folder.

The screen UI element for numeric input is missing.
This input widget doesn't appear.
Your suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi Mindset, does it not appear only in one specific place or everywhere?
Do you happen to have this set in your moi.ini ? :
[UI]

DisableNumericInputFlyout=y

Bingo! Perfect!
BTW, Mr. Gibson, if I were to attempt to fully express how much I appreciate you, then neither of us would have time left for anything else.
Thank you Sir,

How can I get a screenshot with a white background when using:
%AppData%\Roaming\Moi\ui\customui\-84 Snapshot.htm
???
Many Thanks,
Mindset
From: Michael Gibson
Hi Mindset, I don't seem to have an "-84 Snapshot.htm" file in the regular CustomUI package. Can you post it?
- Michael
From: Mindset (IGNITER)
Thanks Michael,
Maybe I renumbered it for some reason... don't remember.

Hi Mindset, the code in there looks like it's already setting a white background.
What version of MoI are you using? I just noticed in the path you wrote:
%AppData%\Roaming\Moi\ui\customui\-84 Snapshot.htm
is that path really where you've got it? For MoI v4 it should be a .js file in %AppData%\Moi\startup and for v3 it would be in the install folder's UI subfolder not in appdata...
- Michael
From: Mindset (IGNITER)
Thanks Michael,
Apparently I've been editing the wrong file.
Here is %AppData%\Roaming\Moi\startup\82 Snapshot.js

From: Michael Gibson
Hi Mindset, so in that one the line of code that sets the background color is line #22:
code:
moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor = 0xEEEEEE;
That's going to be a light gray color. To make it white change that line to this instead:
code:
moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF;
Does that do what you need?

Thank you Michael,
You are a virtuoso! …the exemplar maestro!
That saves me a lot of time.
Shall I delete the ".\AppData\Roaming\Moi\ui\customui" Folder?

From: Michael Gibson
Hi MindSet, you're welcome!
re:
> Shall I delete the ".\AppData\Roaming\Moi\ui\customui" Folder?
Yes I don't think it's being used. Double check that it's really
\ui\customui though, there should be one in Moi\customui (no "ui") that is being used, that's where the menus for customui are at.

That's a great addition to MoI! Thanks for that!
I have a question. Is there a way to redirect the object library to a different folder?
Disk space in C is pretty precious and I really like to "populate" the folder with a pretty large amount of objects.
Thanks!
From: Michael Gibson
Hi linograndi,
re:
> I have a question. Is there a way to redirect the object library to a different folder?
I think that can be done by editing the ObjLibrary.cfg.htm file which is in the %AppData%\Moi\customui folder.
It contains this:
code:
Object Library;MOI\objects
It's the second piece after the semi-colon that controls the folder that it will use. If it has MOI in there that gets replaced by the MoI appdata folder, so the default value of MOI\objects means it will use %AppData%\Moi\objects .
Try editing that MOI\objects value with a path to your desired folder, like this:
code:
Object Library;d:\some_folder\objects
