Full Version: Nodebundle for playing with nodes

Hi,

I just started learning more about node editor and made some progress where i can see how could i use it in my own workflow.

There is a problem i have and i can't solve it no matter what i do. I can't use Macro at all. Whenever i RMB click in the work area and i click on "Macro" i just get Script Error message (image attached). I have seen someone a while ago having a similar issue, tried suggestions but no success.

Does the latest version on node editor support moi3d v3 or is it for v4 only?

I have also tried to copy the nodeeditor folder in "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Moi" and when i run the command in Moi i just get the blank window.
Now i have it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\MoI 3.0\ui" and it seems like everything works perfectly fine except that Macro problem.

Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Thank you very much.

Klaudio,

Welcome aboard! You are, I assume the same Klaudio I chatted to on instagram?

>> There is a problem i have and i can't solve it no matter what i do. I can't use Macro at all.

Have you tried replacing the nodeeditor folder in "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Moi"
with one found here: http://moi3d.com/forum/messages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=9358.1

>> Does the latest version on node editor support moi3d v3 or is it for v4 only

It should work for both, but V4, although technically still in beta stage, is rock solid; so there is no reason not to be using it. I'm on a mac so perhaps its a windows issue.

Thank you for your appreciation of "Current NODE EDITOR folder" thread. I wonder if I might ask though if you could delete your post: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=9358.2 and keep correspondence in this thread, so that the other thread remains a single post of most current file directory.

I hope this helps you get up & running. I look forward to seeing what you get up to.

Hi James,

Yes, it's me. And thanks! ;)

>> Have you tried replacing the nodeeditor folder in "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Moi"...

Yes, just tried your version in both AppData and ProgramFiles folders but i still have the same problem.
Interesting is that i just get blank node editor window when i put it AppData folder. I am using this line bellow as shortcut in Moi which gives me that blank mode editor window. Is it correct?

moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://appdata/nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );

>> I wonder if I might ask though if you could delete your post....

No problem at all! Deleted there.

Yes, i have tried and sett it of that and i am able to start Node Editor and use it all without any problems so the shortcut command is no a problem.

The only thing is that when i Right mouse button click in the Node editor i can access and create Nodes but when i click on Macro i just get that error instead.
It seems like it might be some bug or something because i did try some of older version of Node Editor, v0.9 i think, and there was no errors. In Node Editor v1+ i am getting that error problem.

Hi klaudio, having it in appdata will only work with v4, that's new in v4 that you can have URLs with moi://appdata in them.

The error you're getting for the Macro problem seems to be something about it trying to use a moi://appdata URL there, so I'd guess that the Macro mechanism is only working right now with v4 and not with v3.

I'd recommend trying it with v4 and see if it then works ok for you, you can get v4 at http://moi3d.com/beta.htm .

Hi klaudio, maybe it can be fixed for v3 - try editing nodeeditor\core\main.js and find the lines where the error is happening:

code:

	var dir = (moi.filesystem.getAppDataDir)?moi.filesystem.getAppDataDir:moi.filesystem.getProcessDir;
	var path = dir()+document.URL.split(/moi:\/\/appdata\/(.*\/).*/g)[1].replace(/\//g,"\\")+"macros\\";

Maybe this is assuming that it's using a moi://appdata address for this dialog.

Try editing to something like this:

code:

	//var dir = (moi.filesystem.getAppDataDir)?moi.filesystem.getAppDataDir:moi.filesystem.getProcessDir;
	//var path = dir()+document.URL.split(/moi:\/\/appdata\/(.*\/).*/g)[1].replace(/\//g,"\\")+"macros\\";
	var path = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MoI 3.0\\ui\\nodeeditor\\macros\\';

I have not tested it but that might get it working with v3.

Hi Michael,

This actually worked! The Macro is now working properly and everything is ok!

Thank you very much for this! ;)

When clicking for Macro in MoI3 nodeeditor, I had the same error message as klaudio, with slightly different line numbers. (Windows 10)
After modifying main.js in MoI3 nodeeditor program, (C:\Program Files x86...) with Michaels mode code, (two comment outs and an added line,),
the Macro menu seems to be working. (very Limited testing).

After backing up the above mentioned main.js file, the modification was done in NotePad++.
The commented out lines were numbers 4481 and 4482, with new line added at line 4483.
To fine the line numbers, the NotePad++ command Ctrl+H (extremely useful) was used with Replace/Find What : "var dir"

I guess that probably the nodeeditor macro "path incompatibility" with MoI 3 was introduced by Max's upgrade last winter/January+/-.
Since I use MoI4 beta now, and rarely MoI3, I had not noticed the error message.

Thanks Michael

After years of (almost) unheeded requests, someone did it :)

Thanks a lot James for your new POST about Node Editor :)

Marco,
I'm glad this made you happy. In fact I did think of you when I was posting.

I have been thinking about you recently, or rather your SelectCurvesByContainer script.
Would it be a lot of work to wrap it into a node?

I only ask because I think it would be a real boon for NE. What do you think?

Anyway all the best,
James

Thank a lot James for your kind words :)

@You "I only ask because I think it would be a real boon for NE. What do you think?"

Unfortunately, as you can see, recently and during the whole 2018 (and now) I almost abandoned all my practicing and working and studying of the 3D world (both modelling and rendering) because actually I really have no free extra time to devote to this things :)

Actually almost all 3D things are really boring for me and I returned to my very first love in CG: studying and practicing 2D freehand digital painting (Photoshop on PC and Procreate on my iPad Pro).

Bu, with that said, as you can see, I sometimes take a look at this forum to see what's going on, for example new announcements from Michael or your wonderful creations with the Node Editor :)

You're doing great things with that tool!

Congrats!

Have a nice day.
