Hi fajar, my conclusion is

Hi fajar, my conclusion is that will be too difficult, to make it compatible with 3ds max 9, do this kind of script, get a lot of work, the code is huge, and the project has a lot of new things to include like , fix bugs, new features and upgrades old functions. Keep everything compatible at all moments, doing test through all versions of 3ds max might be impossible for a project with only one developer, i hope i can get to a moment that the script is stable and there is no more space to grow, this moment i will polish it and maybe make it compatible.

Since it is a commercial project, i need of course to make sure that it still have lot of possible users using version 9, would be perfect to suit everybody, but we need to make choices, and targeting the right user group may give enough financial return for reinvestment.

the demo is over-limited! i

the demo is over-limited! i think you should enable preview generation for 3 files so that ppl can see how it behaves on user models and non-library models.
