What IDE do you use for MEL development?

#161

MEL Studio Pro for Maya 2008 and LE for Maya 8.5 and 2008 should be available the firts few days of this week. I know it’s some time I say “this week”… but this should be the right one :slight_smile:

but I don’t see how in SourceEdit without copying/pasting a new script.

Hi Steph, What is exactly your problem? Mapy should send all of your selected parts to maya automaticly. it is not editor based, it is OS based.

I also couldn’t get the Python script to work in 8.5

Please send me the error code.
Thanks.

Hey Farsheed,

Apologies for the late reply, been wrapped up a bit here. Wanted to tell you that in 1.3 old bugs indeed look like being fixed. The big script translation feels a bit slower in 1.3 than it was in previous version (without automatic selected text execution support).

The only issue currently is the automatic selected text execution, it doesn’t work with PSPad and mapy 1.3 (worked with previous version though). It managed to work accidentally for once now but I couldn’t replicate that again to see what conditions made it work, it looked pretty arbitrary. I’m on winXP x64 here.

I will try other editors and investigate this more a bit later after tomorrow (having an exam, doh). In the mean time, to you have any ideas as to why it resigned working?

Thanks for continued development of mapy,
Have a good night :slight_smile:

Hi henry. Happy to see you here again. I miss you last week.

The only issue currently is the automatic selected text execution, it doesn’t work with PSPad and mapy 1.3 (worked with previous version though). It managed to work accidentally for once now but I couldn’t replicate that again to see what conditions made it work, it looked pretty arbitrary. I’m on winXP x64 here.

Download THIS file and replace it with original one and tell me if it works or not.
TIA.

#165

Nope, it doesn’t look like it helps. I also tried Visual Studio and the result is the same, it looks like it’s not an editor related “feature”.

The file transfer speed is a bit snappier with this new file though which me likes :slight_smile:
If it works for others to me it’s not such a big issue since I could still use my java script for PSPad, to transfer the selected text.

Thanks for quick support,
Good night :slight_smile:

Clear your browser’s cache and redownload the file. I just update it. And check it again.
Sorry and thanks.

#167

Doesn’t seem to help. Is it just me or are there other people having the same problem?

#168

Do you add your mapy installation to windows path? I have 5 pcs here and all work well.

#169

Yep, mapy is added to PATH environment variable in windows, if I understood that correctly. But it can work without it as well. Thing is that the selected text transmission worked in 1.2.1, it’s just that it was a bit slow.

In any way that’s not a big issue if it works for others :slight_smile:

#170

Since I haven’t got any report that selected text execution dosn’t work yet , I recommend you to test it in another pc. Remember that I can only support mapy in 32bit because I hate 64bit systems.

#171

I all!
rferl, it’s possible a linux version of mapy? :smiley:

Thanks a lot!

#172

Absolutely. But I need some time. I have a working linux version but It has few bugs.
Would you please tell me witch version and distribution of linux do you use?

#173

Hi rferl
Nice to know you are working in a linux version. I use Ubuntu 7.10 :slight_smile:

#174

MelStudio Pro and EditPad Pro for larger batch/regex fixes… PowerGrep also plays a big roll in my work with team coding.

We use Doxygen now this helps reduce Grep time.

#175

Anyone has an idea when MEL Studio Pro is finally comin’ out for Maya 2008?

cheers

That was “10-13-2007, 09:34 AM” So I guess its already up! :]

Maybe they just didn’t write it on the website at lazy digimation but the setup works for 2008. shrug

I really Like your Mapy, now with Ultra Edit Studio as IDE, mel syntax is all supported with highlight,auto complete and with your great MAPY, Ultra Edit Studio is the most wonderful IDE for Mel with seamless integration with Maya.

#179

Just want to inform all of my cg friends that I upload full Linux and Windows version.
Please send me your reviews (specially in Linux) so I can fix bugs. I didn’t see any bugs yet in current version but bugs always happen.
Best Regards.

For those who ask me to add custom port option, I add it to mapy now.

The default number is 6000 but many people dont like this (security reasons). So I add this to mapy:

mapy <path to your script>

or

 mapy -pn <your port number> <path to your script>

Example:

 mapy -pn 2225 c:/mytest/foo.mel

Also from now on you can check the latest version by -check option.
type mapy -help for more info.
Download Latest version

Best Regards.
