I bought your script. But it is not activated.
Internet is also connected.
I'll attach a status screenshot as well.

Hello Frter.
Try turning off the Internet and using offline activation when the plugin asks.
Also, make sure you can access the website http://crea3d.ml/
If it doesn't help, write me again.
Stiffness
dvieneira · 2019-09-12
Hi,
anyway to make rope stiffer. We want it to be more like a hose and not a rope? Rope mass doesn't do anything thanks
like this https://youtu.be/-6NYy-eyWNk
this helicopter hose moves but not a lot
How to make the rope stiffer
Crea3D · 2019-09-13
Hi, Dvieneira. I'll give you a clue how to do what you want :)
1) Open the rope group.
2) Select one of UConstraints (joints between bones), then click "select similar" in the context menu to select them all.
3) Open MassFx tools, open the 3rd tab there and set "Damping" to 500 or 1000.
I attached the screenshot.

Can your tool work on Nivdia PhysX Plugin as well?
Delphinium · 2019-04-03
Hi, I have gotten a problem when using your Massfx Pope creator.
I am using 3dsmax 2016, with a newest Nvida physX plugin for 3dsmax. I need these new updates in this plugin but in this situation, the original massfx plugin in 3dmax will be hided.
Is it's possible that your tool can work on both Nvida physX plugin as well as Original massfx plugin? I am asking this because the Nvida still keep updating the physX plugin and it has less bugs and new improvements than the original one. And they can't works together.
Thanks very much.

Hello, Delphinium! I have added Nvidia DCC plug-in support in v1.1. Now it can work on both Nvida physX plugin and original massfx plugin.
I have tested it for you in 3DS MAX 2016 with NVIDIA PhysX 3.4.2 (4.2.21119.23282)
Problem solved, thanks! But there are still some issues.
Delphinium · 2019-04-03
Hi now it works! I really like your tool. thanks for helping!
But it will appear a "splitting" result if the number of bones is 8 or more. I don't know if it's a bug of the tool or it only happens on PhysX mode.
And "Rope thickness" doesn't works either. The thickness remains the same after I changed it under physX mode.
Crea3D · 2019-04-04
Thanks, I'll check it.
Update
Crea3D · 2019-04-04
Rope thickness has been fixed. Ver 1.2 !
The Rope Split issue
Delphinium · 2019-04-08
Thanks for the updating, I just record the rope split issue when I was using your tool~
just for reference.

Delphinium, just increase solver iters and substeps in your physix settings. Rope creator works fine. The same things happen with clothes. If you have low quality set, you can experience different glitches. Also you can play with Rope mass.
