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:

	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:

	//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

@James
Thanks like that is more easy with all the previous and future multiple changements!

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

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

(https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=9358.1)

Thanks!

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.

Thanks a lot AL2000!

Your experiments are to the "next level"!!!

Great and very complex things :)

Thanks Marco
very welcome your comment

A "green blobby brain" ?

:)

Wonderful experiments!!

Thanks Marco,

The selection of green was an allusion to "The Hulk", but yes brainy as well.

The key to both these experiments is simple maths applied to z input of your "pointExt" node.
Neither would be possible without your contribution, so...
Thank you!

@You :"...simple maths applied to z input..."

Simple...not for me :)

My contribution to NE was very basic and very simple, because math in not my "comfort zone" :)

Nothing comparable to what you and the other guys are doing here.

Only, I had some intuition (and many many others I had but no time to develop) and I hoped that someone ,much much more skilled than me in math, might be able to translate into actual code to improve that idea.

For example, when I have written the script for the very first real working implementation of a "Lasso selection" in Moi, it was really a fun for me to code that script.
I was hoping that someone would improve it but, as I've said, I really have no other free time to devote to these things in Moi (and now I even don't know where I saved my original source code!)


Guys, you're doing incredible things with the Max's NE!!

Moi to the next level!

Ciao.
