version number max9

[Bobo]

Hello,

If you have max9 and max2008 installed will you please tell me the version number? execute this code in the listener and post the result:


maxversion()


Many thanks!

Josh.


Without executing the code, from top of my head Max 9 will returns #(9000,..) and Max 2008 will return #(10000,...) where the second and third elements of the array could be ignored. In general, you can grab (maxVersion())[1]/1000 and use something like

theVersionName = case ((maxVersion())[1]/1000) of
(
2: #max2
3: #max3
4: #max4
5: #max5
6: #max6
7: #max7
8: #max8
9: #max9
10: #max2008
11: #max2009
12: #max2010
)

hey actually Bobo,

You're just the guy I need to ask, when were scene explorers added to max, what version? Also, when they were introduced could you use the scenemanager interface to add properties like in max2009?

9500/1000
-->9

Due to Integer division, it still returns 9. ;)

I'm sorry you got it that way, like trying to mark your post, or acting cool. I was just adding a little bit of information.
