So I have created my Icon images, and dumped them into “scripts/Q3ME” – which is where I am running my script from.
My icon files are q3me_24i.bmp (24×24, 32 bit) and q3me_16i.bmp (16×15, 32 bit).
I tried multiple configurations for my macroscript to get it to load these icons but it just does not seem to be working. (Yes, I did restart 3ds max inbetween tests.)
So what exactly do I need to do to get my macroscript button to properly display the icon?
Here are some version I have tried so far:
macroScript Q3_Map_Export
category:"Q3 Map Export by AshuraDX"
buttonText:"Q3ME"
icon:"q3me"
(
fileIn "Q3ME/Q3ME_Beta_0.5.ms"
)
macroScript Q3_Map_Export
category:"Q3 Map Export by AshuraDX"
buttonText:"Q3ME"
icon:#("q3me",1)
(
fileIn "Q3ME/Q3ME_Beta_0.5.ms"
)
macroScript Q3_Map_Export
category:"Q3 Map Export by AshuraDX"
buttonText:"Q3ME"
icon:#((getDir #scripts as string + "\\q3me\\q3me"),1)
(
fileIn "Q3ME/Q3ME_Beta_0.5.ms"
)
I am left clueless about what I am doing wrong and I’d be happy about any pointers.
did you try to put them in #userIcons dir ?
While that works, that will break compatibility with versions of 3ds max that are older than max 9, wouldn’t it?
And from the mxs help I figured thast that would not be the only way of getting this to work.
if you put your images in…
for light UI
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\UI_ln\Icons\
and for dark
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\UI_ln\IconsDark\
name them
IMAGE_NAMEa.bmp – for your Alpha
IMAGE_NAMEi.bmp – for your image
macroScript NAME
category:"YOUR_CATAGORY"
toolTip:"YOUR_TOOL_TIP"
buttonText:"BUTTON_NAME"
icon:#("IMAGE_NAME",2)
(
some code
)

My icon files in #usericons,and UI_ln\Icons ,it doesn’t work.what should i do?
You don’t have to, simply use colorman.reInitIcons()
So you have Test_16i.bmp in #usericons and it doesn’t work?
