no spaces in folder name

[dwalser]

Hi all

- I can't drag out to the Max2Octane.script to the toolbar. So I start it directly.
- I can't define a Project Path, why?
here in the script is probably the bug:

)
on btn_pPath pressed do
(
-- getMypPath()
pPath = getSavePath()
if ((pPath == undefined) OR (pPath == "")) do ( return false )
if (substitutestring pPath " " "_")!=pPath then messagebox "No spaces in folder name" else
(
edt_pPath.text = pPath
setIniSetting myIni "ProjectPath" "value" pPath
)
)

Ever when I try to define a path, it says: no spaces in folder name...
What means that?

Please help me.

I've got the same problem too, whenever I try to create a new folder on the desktop to put the project path, It always ended up with error message " No spaces in folder name" so, i cannot locate it. I use windows 7 pro, 3ds max 2010 and MAX2Octane 1.022f.
Any hints to resolve this?

not sure as i did'nt write the script, but try not to store any scene stuf/project stuff in paths/directories/files with whitespace in them.

it's always good practice to do that anyways.

Dear radiance

INSTALL:
Extract in max root folder, restart max.
Find the script in customize, under category max2octane.

If you cant drag it to a toolbar, make sure you locate the script under the toolbars tab

And for the no spaces in folder name: make sure your path has no spaces. Example: "c:/octane/project"

ok, i can't find the "toolbars tab". What is the name exactly of the folder, where I can put in.

[kilaD]

EXTRACT IT IN MAX ROOT FOLDER. Thats all you need to do!

if you have winrar installed:
Drag it with your right mousebutton into your max root folder, LET GO of the button
and choose extract here

The "toolbars tab" is in max main menu under customize.

thanks for your answer.
done. Exactly how you writed. But nothing happend. What can it be. Can you send me the link of the exact version from the 3ds Max exporter.
I use 3ds max design 2010.

I use the german version. Could that be the reason?

[kilaD]

Or you are using max design...

So what did not work? You can't put the script to a toolbar?
Follow the instructions in this video:

When you run the script, and it stops with an error, copy the error (the text in red)
from the listener (F11) and paste it here.
