[Closed] Visual Maxscript Fix uploaded

I’ve corrected a bug in the Visual Maxscript plugin, which most veteran scripters would no doubt know about, where upon entering, modifying and saving the rollout you’re currently working on your code get’s eaten away, ie.


   rollout ro "Rollout" width:162 height:100
   (
   	button btn "My Button" pos:[12,34] width:128 height:34
   )
   
   createDialog ro
   

Enter VMS, change something and save.


   rollout ro "Rollout" width:162 height:100
    (
    	button btn "My Button" pos:[12,34] width:128 height:34
    )
    createDialog ro
   

Enter VMS, change something and save again.


    rollout ro "Rollout" width:162 height:100
     (
     	button btn "My Button" pos:[12,34] width:128 height:34
     ) createDialog ro
    
Enter VMS, change something and save yet again.

     rollout ro "Rollout" width:162 height:100
      (
      	button btn "My Button" pos:[12,34] width:128 height:34
      )
     

And so on.

You can get the installation file here.

I hope you scripting guys and gals find this useful.

I noticed same problem a few days ago and wondered what did I do… Now I know it wasn’t my fault:) Thanks.

wahooney – you are a dude.

I lost count of the times this had nibbled away my script without me noticing. cheers!

That definitely is very helpful, Wahooney … thanks a lot.

I used to get scared to go back into Visual Maxscript after I had setup my interface initially, especially, after writing tons of lines, I never knew what all could get eaten up …

your patch is a great assurance.

thanks again

How about a wish list for bug fixes and features to be added?

But please be reasonable with the requested features. I can’t really make huge changes to VMS without some serious time on my hands (which I don’t really have at present).

Finally some fix.
Your site is down I think.

Just one thing… UNDO!

  • GREAT –

Super

Glad to give you your 20% back

Wow it works! Thanks…
