…surely this has already been done by some adept maxscripter out there?
list missing from photometric/bitmap editor, then manually search through the scene materials for the maps and delete – tedious when you have dozens of maps no longer used.
Any suggestions about going about scripting this myself would be much appreciated – I’m very green with maxscripting.

Bobo has an old script from the v3 days that might help you.

Look for #44.
Check out his COLUMBO for more tools in the same vein.

Maybe he’ll even chime in with some ideas…
Most scripts are looking and trying to help you REPLACE the missing maps.
DELETING the missing maps is a slightly different story, but it should be easy to implement if necessary.
yes I have already made use of the replace maps script (thank you), that was what I was going to deconstruct to see if I could repurpose it to delete the missing maps.
