hey!!:wavey:

as the title said.... 5 easy questions.... so here goes...

1 How do i know how to load scripts/plug-ins if they don't come with instructions? i got gi-joe yesterday but all that came in the d/l was a lights file and a script file. So where do they go?

2. when talking about scripts, what does to "SOURCE" it mean?
(i had another plug-in and it said to get it to work i had to "source" these 2 scripts?)

3.How can i set-up a shader library so that they appear in the hypershade? you know...under a library tab or something.(instead of me having to import them )

4. Is there a version of game tools for version 4.0? ( can't find one on the a/w site)

5. is there a way to toggle x-ray only on the selected oobjects quickly? ( i have connect poly shape that has a custom button, but it also puts x-ray on the reference plains, even tho they are on a different layer.)

any help at all with any of those would be greatly appreciated.

cheers!!:beer:

Ans.1

Put the scripts into

c:\Program Files\AliasWavefront\Maya4.5\bin\plug-ins ot whatever is the folder structure on your system

Restart Maya

Go to
Windows > Setting\Preferences > Plug-in manager
There you can click on Loaded to load the plugin or autoload to load it automatically the next time you start Maya

Ans 2: :shrug:

Ans 3:

In Hypershade window
Tab > Create New Tab

Ans 4 and 5 : :shrug:
