Hi Everyone,

Hope this helps any of those Mac Users who want to create a CUSTOM folder (say a Dropbox folder) for their Object Library files. I do this so that I only need to keep one folder on Dropbox and all the library files automatically show up both at work and at home.

You'll need to find the file: ObjLibrary.cfg.htm in the mods folder and edit it from:

Object Library;MOI\objects

to: (use the accurate path to your file. See HERE for how to properly find the file path on MacOS.)

Object Library;/Users/chippwalters/Dropbox/Moi/ObjectsDONTMOVE

NOTE the slashes are going the opposite way!
Next, you’ll need to change ObjLibrary.menu.htm. Search for this code:

if ( moi.filesystem.fileExists (iconname) ) { document.write ('<div class="preview"><img class="icon" src="'+ iconname.split("\\").join('/') +'?'+randomID+'"></div>'); }

and replace with this code (note inclusion of 'file:///z:')

if ( moi.filesystem.fileExists (iconname) ) { document.write ('<div class="preview"><img class="icon" src="file:///z:'+ iconname.split("\\").join('/') +'?'+randomID+'"></div>'); }

Now you should be good to go! :-)

I tried installing it, put the commandbar.htm in the root directory of moi3d, and the customui folder in the root directory like it said above. When I start moi, nothing happens, no new menu items at the bottom, nothing different.

When the instructions say to extract it into the moi folder, does it literally mean into the root moi folder?

UPDATE: never mind, like a dumass I was opening the archive and manually trying to install it, when the directory structure in the archive showed me exactly how it was SUPPOSED to work... facepalm.

Hi MAX

The Line:


var Path = moi.command.getOption('ExePath', false) + "\\snapshots\\";

Doesn't exist in the 84 Snapshot.html file.

The closest thing seems to be this line::
vp.render(w, h).save(moi.filesystem.getProcessDir()+"\\snapshots\\"+time+"-["+vp.name+"].png");

Is that right?

If so, does this example look right to you?
vp.render(w, h).save(moi.filesystem.getProcessDir()+"F:\\Dropbox\\Work\\MOI3D\\snapshots\\"+time+"-["+vp.name+"].png");

Can't seem to make it work

Thanks
Carlo

Snapshot in CustomUI stopped working last year after reinstalling all Windows 7 programs to a new hard drive.
Previously it had worked. The snapshots directory is located alongside of "ui" and "commands."
To enable writing to Program Files (x86) \ MoI 3.0 \ snapshots, it was necessary to right click
on MoI 3.0, select Properties, Security, Edit, select my user name, and place a checkmark in
the write box, then apply. (Increases Administrator-like privileges)

Similar to using Michael's method here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=6507.171
I was able to create a snapshot2 directory alongside snapshot directory, but was unable to relocate it to AppData directory.
I modified 84Snapshot2.htm to 85Snapshot2.htm file with
vp.render(w, h).save(moi.filesystem.getProcessDir()+"\\snapshot2\\"+time+"-["+vp.name+"].png");
and also modified the end of the last line to ==">Snapshot2</moi:CommandButton>
Also need to rename the function name to "function snapshot2(w, h, button, shiftkey, ctrlkey)
as well as its call in the last line.

Also added the snapshot and snapshot2 subdirectories to the file directory library for quick viewing access.

Is there a way to get CustomUi to work on Windows 10?

Hi ndrakey,

re: Is there a way to get CustomUi to work on Windows 10?

It does work on Windows 10 already, but it needs the final release of MoI v3 in order to run. From your screenshot it looks like your problem does not have anything to do with Windows 10, it's that you're running an older release of MoI which doesn't have the getUIDir() function that the error message is referring to.

- Michael

Balloons anyone? How to add mod your GUI with helpful tooltip commands:

After some tricky tests :)

Seems using Custom UI with the cool Kitbash by Chipp Walter (42 item) http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8398.1
that Name of Image and file 3dm must be the same and in Uppercase!
Size of image seems have no incidence!

Edit!
After new tests!
Image name and file 3dm must have excatly the same name!
Case is sensitive!

Unfortunatelly I got error message like this when starting Moi after copying files to Moi folder. Win10, any idea how to solve this problem?

I would double check to see that the files are in the proper directories.
- Brian

Are you using MOI v2 or MOI v3?

Hi Dreviou,

You'll get that error if you're using MoI v2, the CustomUI requires the final release version of v3 so to solve it you'd need to update to the current version.

- Michael

That was it, v2, thanks guys! Now it works fine.

Hi

Does this still work? I get an error like the one above (for mac users) but I am on pc?

Thanks

Hi cnever,

re:

Yes, it still works with the current version. You'll get an error if you're using an older version of MoI though.

- Michael

Thank you so much! :) I'm new to MoI and already got so good results quickly instead of modeling everything in Polygons! And your Addon makes it even better! :)
