Batch saveto previous

Submitted by _pjc on Thu, 2014-06-05 01:37

Hi,

I'm thinking this may be simple, but have absolutely no maxscript skills whatsoever. I have a bunch of files saved in Max 2015, and I'd like to save them all back - as copies - to max 2013 versions. Anyone?

Thanks,

Phil

How to add a custom script into this batch processing?

May I ask something about this batch processing.

I've got many *.max file in library that was provided as 2012 but actually was saved from higher version, so when use them in Xref object and Xref scene, annoying popup always display "Missing Dlls" - (which is nothing useful missing actually, just some higher Max dependencies left in those files).

I've found script to "remove missing dlls" and I've found this batch lower version save-as. How to combine them together for a batch processing which remove-missing-dlls message and save-as to lower version? Or how to execute other *.ms file in the time this batch perform action?

Saving time for anyone would combine these 2 function, the remove missing plugin script is the one by M. Breidt ([email protected])was largely published in web. Code below.

(
 
	-- get list of missing plugin classes
	str = stringStream ""
	apropos "*missing*" to:str
	seek str 0
	cls = #()
	while not (eof str) do (
		ln = readLine str
		tk = filterString ln " "
		if tk.count == 4 then (
			clsName = tk[1]
			try (
				val = (execute clsName)
				sc = superClassOf val
				-- Alternative: check for .classID == #(-1,0)
				if sc==MAXWrapper or sc==node or sc==material or sc==MAXWrapperNonRefTarg then (
					append cls val
					format "%: %\n" c val
				) else (
					format "Skipping % (%)\n" val sc
				)
			) catch (
				format "Cannot use % for searching missing plugins.\n" clsName
			)
		) else (
			format "Incorrect string found in missing plugin name list: %\n" tk
		)
	)
	-- now search for instances of those missing plugins
	c = 0
	foundMissing = #()
	for j = 1 to cls.count do (
		cc = cls[j]
		ci = getClassInstances cc
		if ci.count > 0 then (
			format "%: Found % instances of %: %\n" j ci.count cc ci
			for i = 1 to ci.count do (
				-- get current class
				myClass = classOf cc
				append foundMissing myClass
				-- get list of all subclasses
				allClasses = myClass.classes
				for k = 1 to allClasses.count do (
					-- search for useful replacement
					if allClasses[k].creatable then (
						-- create new instance of default (first) class
						newInst = createInstance allClasses[k]
						try (
							-- replace all instances (requires 3ds Max 2008+ or AVG extensions)
							q = replaceInstances ci[i] newInst
							c += 1
							-- and exit for k loop
							exit
						) catch (
							format "Error replacing %\n" ci[i]
							format "Exception: %\n" (getCurrentException())
						)
					)
				) -- end: for k
				-- todo: what happens if NO useful replacement was found?
			) -- end: for i
		) -- end: if
	) -- end: for j
	if c > 0 then (
		-- produce summary message for user
		str = "Replaced "
		append str (c as string)
		append str " missing plugin(s) with default objects:\n"
		for i in foundMissing do (
			append str "\t"
			append str (i as string)
			append str "\n"
		)
		append str "\nUSE RESULT WITH CAUTION!\nSAVE TO A DIFFERENT FILE NAME!"
		messageBox str title:"removeMissingPlugins v0.1" beep:true
		print foundMissing
	) else (
		messageBox "No missing plugins found" title:"removeMissingPlugins v0.1"
	)
)

Thanks miauu & lightcube for given script.

I can't test it, so you have to do it.

I was going to write a function like this and luckily searched Google. Thanks Kostadin. Here is a modified version I made that creates a menu for the user to choose the version they need to save to and that the current version of Max is able to save to. Also, I added a checkbox so that the user can choose to overwrite the files instead of make copies (which is something I needed).
