[Closed] Network bitmap paths upgrader – Bernardo amorim

hello everyone, so after a really long thay working on this i decided to share it with all of you.
this script will automaticly upgrade your bitmap´s paths on your 3dsmax.ini retreiving those paths from a central file called path.ini that is located on central server.
So this one will everytime you start max upgrade the Bitmap section on the 3dmax.ini file with the ones inside the path.ini file. this file must be on a shared drive and you will have to put that path inside my script…

if you have any questions, please email me.
also don´t forget to copy the actbitmap to your servers script/startup dir.

hugs and comments are very welcome…
excuse my english but i´m quite happpy with this one so hugs bern

the code:

—- mail me for questions…
—- hugs bern…
— don´t forget to place the actBitmaps on you script sartup dir in every machine on your network.

fn getBitMapPaths =

    dirArray = getIniSetting "e:\3dsmax.ini" "BitMapDirs" ---change this to your max dir

    ---path_array = #()

        for a= 1 to dirArray.count do

            (

            delIniSetting "e:\3dsmax.ini" "BitMapDirs" (dirArray[a])

            )

        

        for i=1 to dirArray_New.count do

            (

            arrayNameDir = dirArray_New[i]

            setIniSetting "e:\3dsmax.ini" "BitMapDirs" (dirArray_New[i])( (getIniSetting "e:\path.ini" "BitMapDirs" dirArray_New[i]))

            print dirArray_New[i]

            print (getIniSetting "e:\path.ini" "BitMapDirs" dirArray_New[i])
