[Closed] HiddenDOSCommand and Max 2011

Sep 11, 2010 1:44 am

I’m experiencing a strange issue with HiddenDOSCommand.

I’m running some Perforce calls via HiddenDOSCommand for syncing, adding and editing Max files. Running these functions on my computer works fine, but running them on a co-worker’s computer does not. I checked his environment variables and they are fine, and running the same exact string through a dos prompt on his computer works fine.

Has anyone had this happen, and know any potential solution (or, at the least, where else I can look to see what is going on?)

Thanks!

Tim

Hi,

I am not sure why it would behave like that but you can also try using P4.NET.

Cheers,

You could also grab the source code from ScriptSpot and dig around a bit:

I don’t know whether you downloaded the 2011 version from maxplugins.de or not, but if you did and you find a bug, let me know so I can fix it for everyone.

I wound up using dotNet to solve the issue. I’m running on Max 2012, and hiddenDOSCommand is shipped with that version. I couldn’t figure out what was going on, but thankfully using dotNET to run perforce fixed it.

Thanks all!

Hrm, not sure where my reply went.

Anyhow, I solved this problem by using dotNET. I couldn’t track down the issue that hiddenDOSCommand was having, and in the interest of saving myself some time, I went the dotNet route and it works fine.

Thanks all!
