createDialog ro_bmRename[\code]

Hi thats excatlu what Im looking for but dosnt work.....it says

-- Syntax error: at bad, expected
-- In line: createDialog ro_bmRename[\c

Can I use it for 3dsmax 2016 and corona 1.5

thx for hrlp

Remove

[\code]

from the end of the code posted above.

Yes. It should a straight forward script there's little that can go wrong. Credit to the OP. I just made that edit for Corona.

actually what i want too...
is

the script to rename all bitmaps renamed to "scene name"+ extension.
i.e.
pine_tree.max has some mesh and two textures.
leaf.bmp
leaf2.bmp

he wants a script to do some actions so the result will become:

pine_tree.max
pine_tree.bmp
pine_tree2.bmp.

and materials target the new bitmap names...so they wont report as missing.

I re-read 2-3 times the original question:

"I want to rename the textures, and the link of texture should be keep!"

and looks like all replies below are about Relinking texture #FileNames.
--Here is 2 staffs:

<TextureMap>.name
assignNewName <TextureMap>

And as you say

"the texture name is not correct"

, then give more details about.

like evermotion's scenes...
dont have a solution for you however...

mhm maybe tryout "Set Bitmap Parameters" here: http://www.oferz.com/maxscripts.php
It has an option to do a Search&Replace on bitmap filenames

Thanks br0t!

I will try it.

I have try it,but the file name is not change, how to set it?

Dont really know if this is what you want but maybe it helps:

To see bitmap names, press the "Get.." Button. To edit them, enabled the checkbox. You can then select single bitmap filepaths in the list and change them on top. The changes will be accepted when you leave the edit field with your mouse.
You can also do a search and replace on all paths, e.t. to change "C:\" to "D:\"
or "silly.jpg" to "dummy.tif"
This is case insensitive, which might not be so good.
Be careful with it, better save to a new scene first before you accidently kill any paths.
Cheers

I test it...

Yes,the bitmap name is changed,but the bitmap lost the link. The bitmap which is saved in disk is not changed name with it.

theMaps = getClassInstances BitmapTexture
for i in 1 to theMaps.count do
(
fileName = theMaps[i].filename
newFilename = getFilenamePath fileName + "\\map_" + i as string + getFilenameType fileName
if renameFile fileName newFilename then theMaps[i].filename = newFilename
)

this is someone help to change the bitmap name,but it can't change others except the diffuse channel....

Thank you for your help!

Hey, i use this script. and it really work for me. script change all jpg name according to me. but in max only. but its fine and i change name with advance rename. ALL OVER VERY GOOD SCRIPT. Save lots of time.
