Hi Max,
Can you help me with one edit I need to make?

For the path of a scripts directory has changed.

In the previous version, for the mods/ExtScripts.menu.htm there was a line like this to set a path to a folder:

var files = moi.filesystem.getFiles(moi.command.getOption('ExePath', false)+"\\commands", '*.js' ), scom = [];

Where "commands" is a folder to look in.....

The new version has this line:

var files = moi.filesystem.getFiles(moi.filesystem.getCommandsDir(), '*.js' ), scom = [];

How is this line modified to set a custom directory?

Thanks....

Hi Burr, do you mean you want the custom directory to be one that's inside the installation folder like alongside "ui" and "commands" ?

If so you could do this:

var files = moi.filesystem.getFiles(moi.filesystem.getProcessDir()+"\\commands", '*.js' ), scom = [];

that should be the equivalent of the old one, it will get the location of the folder where MoI.exe is in, then stick \commands at the end of that, replace commands with what you need same as you did before.

And thanks Max for updating this to work for Mac users too!

Hi Michael,
Yes that was it... It was the difference between getCommandsDir and the getProcessDir you posted. I was trying a few variations with crashing, but was only changing the "+\\folder" part....

Thanks for responding in on that....

Burr

Hi Burr,

now you can set any directory you want (check the first post).
Update mods/ExtScripts.menu.htm
Create mods/ExtScripts.cfg.htm file with the following content:
MOI\commands
MOI\commands\myscripts
...

Thanks, works perfectly on new beta.
M.

Thanks max... i will check out the cfg file too. It sounds handy. I needed the other one because i setup 2 extension scripts with 2 buttons in the commandbar....

Thanks Michael for the latest Beta
In case anyone is interested , on the windows version to easily get my Moi beta back up and running with scripts and custom UI I do this

from the old beta version ( call it old ) I
Copy sidepane.htm from old UI into new UI (mine opens construct and transform at once).
Copy saveas.js and save.js from old commands into new commands overwrite the new ones (mine save a jpg also).

Copy all of the commands folder from old into the new commands folder but do not replace or overwrite anything in there.
This puts any commands you use like ringcircle etc in there

I copy the following so I know where they are.
Copy your moi.ini into the main moi directory of new
Copy your template file in there also
Copy your licience key into moi directory

Installation: of custumui.
- Backup /ui/CommandBar.htm (I just copy to the desktop)
- Extract CustomUI archive into the MoI directory

delete objects in new objects folder
Copy your objects from old objects file to new objects
copy snapshot.htm from old customui to new customui (mine is set to save as a jpg)
rename any parts of custom UI with a - in front that you don't want (I don't use the align buttons)
cheers

Hi Shayne, apart from your sidepane.htm, saveas.js and save.js if you uninstall the previous beta all custom scripts and custom directories will be left behind then it's just a matter copy and paste, the only thing to replace is Max's CommandBar.htm

Hi guys, I am getting this error. When it does load, there is nothing visually different about the UI?

Hi yakas, that error probably means you are using an older beta release - that function that the error mentions is only in the most current v3 beta, the Jun-27-2014 version which you can get from here: http://moi3d.com/beta.htm

- Michael

Wow, that was fast. Works fine, woo hoo!

Camera switcher for CustomUI :)


put .htm file in /ui/customui/ folder

right click - save camera position
left click - load camera position

Thanks Max thats neat
Is there any way that it can save the set positions on moi close , as it forgets what you set
cheers
shayne

Is there additional instructions to get this to work? I could find no customui folder in the MoI ui directory, so i created one and put the htm file there but it does not show when I run MoI. What am I missing?

Hi Don, if I remember right I think you need to unzip the file into MoI's main installation folder.

That will then replace one of Moi's .htm files inside the \ui folder to show the additional UI, and that will also then create the CustomUI folder for you during that unzipping process since it's stored in the .zip file.

- Michael

Post 1 has instructions. It can be easy, but for me it was hard to do it the first time, back with Moi3Betas.

Recently, I placed the CustomUI...zip file in the x86/Moi3 directory and unzipped it there. Easy :-)

- Brian

Thanks Michael and Brian. I got it to install and work.

The only thing you should watch out for with this type of "install", is Michael may make changes to something like "CommandBar.htm" and you are overwriting with something outdated...

You "Should" understand what is added in something like CommandBar.htm and just make that edit by hand, so you don't break your future installs.......

2 cents....

Thanks, I probably won't use it anyway. I really just wanted to see what the camera switch did.
