Update a dotnet dll to work in max2024
Hi,
I need the Hitchhiker.dll made by Pete Addington (lonerobot) to work with updated 3ds max version like 2024. It is working fine in 2020. I tried to reach Pete for couple of month but failed.
The script is available in this forum from 2010 may be. It is a thumbnail generator script for images files in a folder name supplied. I will pay if somebody can help me out. Will share details if you are interested.The issue is dotnet version related.

similar issue with the script which worked in max2022
There is a very handy script that stopped working after upgrading from 3ds Max 2022 to 2024. The good thing is that the script contains .NET within its body. Could someone please fix it?
Script is attached
Thank you in advance
Hi
I am not very familiar with c# in maxscript but i have a similar script.
You can find it here:

It will surely be slower on High polycount objects, C# is much faster , maybe you should contact the author as his mail is included in the script.
if LoneRobot didn't come back , hard to update for new version
max changed some core interface at 2022 , lower .net plugin with them won't run on newer LoneRobot has gone a long time , if there was no source script , the only way was to decompile dll and recompile it after modified ,but there is only a small chance to success ， it may couldn't recompile or couldn't run
you may search for another tool for your needing
the reason of error likes below , there's need a new version plugin or changed interfaces to assembly

DLL is a library that has been encoded. How can I open its source code?
Decryptor
Some app can decrypt the dll. Dont know if the code is modifiable. I attached a decrypted screenshot. Btw, Can you make a new dll with similar functionality? they are not many.
