This looks cool, I will check it out. Would it allow me to reorganize the toolbar? I would like to show all tools without clicking on their drawer tab. Even more, could commonly used functions within each tool be shown, for example show all the align command types?

Thanks

It looks like the image above my post shows this as possible.

Hi ed
I don't know anything about programming but I followed your instructions and now have:

The scrips in the Command folder
A nice row of buttons in Moi

The buttons don't seem to do anything when I follow the instructions in the car modeling tutorial. Have I missed a vital step? Am I worng to think that it would be as easy as copy and pasting the scripts and copying code?

Typing in code took me back to my youth, a time when when my brother used to make me type in pages of basic into his Dragon32. With similar, unspectacular, results.

Best regards
Keith

Keith -

Have you verified the scripts are working by typing in the name of the script?

Hit TAB then enter the following in the box at the bottom of MoI: _sSPLIT

Even with nothing created in MoI you should see a pop-up dialog that says "Select edge or face(s)

If you don't get the pop-up dialog then your scripts are not installed correctly.

If you do see the pop-up then the code you typed in from here has an error: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7245.69

The code in white is a screen shot from my working system, so if you retype it as shown it should work.

Thanks so much! I found a couple of errors in my typing. Less tired today so that helped too, Look like I will have some fun working out how to exploit this new power up.

Hello,
I attempted to put the scripts into the command folder and when trying to save got an "Access Denied" message. That stopped me.

Hi Marv,

In newer versions of Windows, Windows will by default prevent programs from modifying anything in the "Program Files" (or "Program Files (x86)") folders, unless the program is running with elevated privileges.

If you're trying to unzip directly into that commands folder, try right-clicking on your unzip program and choose "Run as Administrator", so that it will be running with elevated privileges and then be allowed to unzip into there.

Or another way you can do it is to unzip it to some other place like your desktop, and then use the Windows File Explorer to copy the files over - instead of just ending with an error message, Explorer should put up a Yes/No dialog and if you say yes there it will use the elevated privileges just for that file copy.

There's a new update to MGB, so please click the button 'check for updates.'

Michael changed the latest Mac version app name to "MoI v3.1.app" and MGB looks for the legacy name: "MoI v3.app"

I've now fixed it. You should press the check for update button on the top right of the interface, and it will automatically update the program. No need for Windows users to update, but if you do things should work just fine.

I couldn't find the answer by searching here or on Chip's site, so can anyone tell me what the "Externals" folder is for? It's empty on my install.

Also, I'm sure I asked this at some point in this thread, but is there a way for MGB to read the current CSS file for MOI so you don't have to recreate something you've already done prior to installing MGB?

Thanks!

Paul

Externals -- no need to worry about it.

No way to read an existing CSS...would require me to write my own CSS renderer/parser. Sorry.

---

WOW! That's CLASS!

Created a /New Discussion/ labelled: ICONS-GUI, where I posted icons and GUI design suggestions...

Hi Chipp,

I'm getting a "Stack not found" error when I try to launch the builder. What am I doing wrong? Running MacOs Sierra

---

I'm not near a Mac right now.

Did you unZip everything before running it? There's a single file called MoiGUI.livecode which should be in the same folder as the app bundle.

---

Unzipped everything, .livecode is in the same folder with the app bundle. When I click on the icon the GUI Builder Start screen pops up for a second then a message "A stack cannot be found" appears.

---

Try moving everything to your desktop and run there. It may be a permissions issue.

---

Tried that, same problem, it might be Sierra.

---

Ok. I'll check it out

---

Hi Neo,

Unfortunately, it must be Sierra. I still have El Capitan installed on my Mac and it works perfect there. Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to update this Mac, but I will try a bit later on. I have a laptop I should go ahead and update and when I do I'll look into it.

I'd suggest making sure your protection allows for running non-signed apps and also that you have permissions to run it.

Please review below and make sure:
1. You have the correct file structure
2. You have correct permissions

Michael,

For some reason using syntax below no longer works. This keeps me from posting images using a URL (thus not bloating your forum).

Hi Chipp, re: <img> tag, the src= attribute needs to have double quote characters around the URL, like this:
