Strange error in Max, help me please??

[jadedchron]

have you removed the script from the start up ?

[mmwizard]

Yes, i did try that but that makes all things even worse it's driving me mad...

[magicm]

As far as I know, the 'csmxport.ms' script shouldn't be in the scripts/startup folder. At default, it's installed in scripts/utilities..

What else do you have in your scripts/startup folder?

Also, check folder: 3dsmax4/stdplugs/stdscripts.. These also run when max boots up.

[mmwizard]

in scripts\startup i have 5 docs:

CS3CustomKeys-presets.ini
geom_manipulators.ms
light_manipulators.ms
mod_manipulators.ms
ToggleManipulators.ms

And in the stdplug\stdscripts ar a lot of scripts like
CS3convertBips.ms
CS3Customkeys.ms

[magicm]

I think these are not default max4:

geom_manipulators.ms
light_manipulators.ms
mod_manipulators.ms
ToggleManipulators.ms


Maybe, disabling them works?

Well I can't get it working yet.

What i don't get is from what script is this errormessage from. I don't see the script containing the allert (-- Unknown property. "is Creating" in undefined)

If i could find that script then i will know what the problem is.

Will it give any problems if i just remove MAX and then reinstal it again????

[magicm]

my last option..

open explorer and go to 3dsmax4 folder

do a search (using 'Containing text') on 'isCreating'.

Here's what I get:


...3dsmax4\Maxscrpt.dll
...3dsmax4\stdplugs\stdscripts\addmodfunc.ms
...3dsmax4\ui\macroscripts\
     Macro_Cameras.mcr
     Macro_Compounds.mcr
     Macro_Dynamics.mcr
     Macro_Helpers.mcr
     Macro_Lights.mcr
     Macro_Nurbs.mcr
     Macro_Objects.mcr
     Macro_Particles.mcr
     Macro_Shapes.mcr
     Macro_SpaceWarps.mcr
     Macro_Systems.mcr


AFAIK, these are all standard max scripts, so the shouldn't give you the error.. so, see if you get any other scripts that could cause the problem..

[mmwizard]

well thanx Magicm, it seems that il do have the same files the same folders. I try contacting discreet may they have any answers...

By the way it's nice to see a active Dutchman on these forums. I almost started to think i was the only 3D designer From the Netherlands..

See you around and thanx again...
