Does the new UI enhancement mean you going to suport other OS then Microsoft Windows in the future?

Hi Robert,

Well, it's at least one step towards that.

It's potentially enough of a step to make it happen soon if things work well enough running under the WINE compatibility library.

If using WINE does not work out then there are still some remaining steps that would be necessary to have a full port done. If that's the case then those additional steps would probably happen sometime after v3.

At the moment it's still an unknown as far as how that will work out.

Am hoping I'll have some time to play with V3 over the weekend - fun!

Script copier for this release is attached here.

This is a utility program that will copy any custom plug-in commands that you had installed in MoI v2 under the \commands sub-folder over into this new beta's \commands sub-folder.

For the most part scripts for MoI v1 and v2 should just run directly in MoI v3. There will probably be a couple of them that will need some minor tune-ups if their UI happened to use some functions that are specific to Internet Explorer.

Let me know if you run into any that need tuning up - I have not yet tested every single plug-in with v3 myself.

Hi
Looks great wit the new V3 beta. Moi is an amazing program, and i am using it very frequently.
Unfortunately it looks like i am not capable of downloading V3 beta since i have V2 upgrade licence, and i would very much like to test that. How can i proceed?

Just copy the serial number of your v2 in the Download box

Now it worked... thanks

Selection filter is great, this will help me manage my scenes much better.

Just a quick question. Is this the intended scope of the new release, or can we expect to see quite a few more features introduced?

Hi hep - yeah it should work to use a V2 upgrade license for downloading the beta. Not sure what happened on your first attempt but I'm glad you've got it now.

This is just the beginning - the beta period will last for a while, maybe something like 8 more months or a year and there will be a lot more new stuff coming.

You can add your top 5 requested features to this thread here:

Just copied the scripts. The Pipe command fails.

Hi Steve,

> Just copied the scripts. The Pipe command fails.

Looks like an actual error in the script that the old script engine happened to silently ignore for some reason.

Please try the attached updated version - this new version should work in either v2 or v3 now.

In addition to the UI for v3 being on a new system, the script processing also is using a new system as well and there may be a few kinks related to that, like in this case with a slight difference in error handling making a difference to how the script was executed. It should only require minor tweaks to fix up these kinds of issues as well.

- Michael

Also one of the other updates to the script system is a much better display of script errors - it shows the actual line of script where the error is happening and some surrounding code as well. That makes it a lot easier for me or a script author to see exactly where the script is having a problem.

Michael, thank you very much for V3 beta.

Fooling around, found a very small problem:
Attempted to install and use the FullScreen script.
Worked in V2, in scripts directory at same level as command.
It appears not to work in V3 beta.

Hi bemfarmer - I think that may be a slightly older FullScreen script that you've got there - that one probably doesn't work right if you've got the scene browser open in v2 (when it's in the "adjacent" mode where it is a full panel).

At one point I updated the script and the updated one should work in v3 - it's attached here.

This attached version should work in both v2 and in v3.

- Michael

Update works fine! Thank you

Michael,

MOI still doesn't know if the program is open in a visible window.

Regarding UI, I usually use a larger monitor so leaving more of the tools visible at the same time would be nice. Would save some clicking.

Is this the issue from this previous thread here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=4244.1 ?

That's on my list of things to clean up but I haven't quite gotten to it yet, I'll probably be making a pass through my collected tune up list for the next v3 beta.

- Michael

Hi Michael,

I wonder if it would be possible to see a preview of 3dm files while opening or importing file inside Moi and possibly while browsing with the file explorer or whatever???

Thanks,
Felix
