retrieving original path of missing bitmap

Submitted by David_Lee on Thu, 2013-07-11 05:02 
 
mat = $.mat
 
for prop in (getPropNames mat) do 
(
	if (superclassof (getProperty mat prop)) == texturemap do 
	(
		tex = (getProperty mat prop)
		for item in (getPropNames tex) do 
		(
			if item == #filename do
			(
				print (getProperty tex item)
			)
		)
	)
 
)

Running this code, I can get a list of bitmap files used for the selected object.
But how can I get their paths, also if them are missing?

Thanks,
David

Look at my last post on this thread http://www.scriptspot.com/forums/3ds-max/general-scripting/get-classinst...
With this recursive fn you can collect all maps, and then just check filepaths using "doesFileExist " ei replace commented line with this

for i in mapsArr where not doesFileExist i.filename do print i.filename

Thanks for your help barigazy, but it returns only the filename, not his original path :(

You can't find original path with mxs.
