Hi mewbrrj, I'm using

Hi mewbrrj,

I'm using rappatools3 in 3ds max 2013 without any problems. Also there are over 30 people that use the latest build with max2013 without any issue what so ever.

There was someone that had some issues with max2013 but after deleting 3dsmax.ini everything worked as it should. In case there are any issues just email me and i'll check them out :)

Yes manual updates are available on the website.

Best,
remus

hey remus, is rappatools 100%

hey remus,

is rappatools 100% compatible with 3dsmax2013?

i asking this, because a colleague of mine mentioned that he tried version 1358 on 3dsmax2013 but got issues of rappatools controls getting stuck sometimes and the worst of them would be the native undo funcion that stopped working at all after the first 3dsmax restart (by uninstalling it, undo worked just fine again).

besides, i read a little through the past comments and could not be certain about the newer version compatibility.

about updates, i personally hate automatic updates, do you provide manual updates as well?

thx in adv. for your answer.

Just pure madness the amount

Just pure madness the amount of tools in this. Great work and I appreciate the upkeep and documentation examples for your tool. It's not an easy task and it is also very time consuming.
Thanks Remus. Always been a fan of this tool.

Not sure what are the big changes in max2013 yet, but that won't affect the development, also there will always be support for older and newer versions of max starting with max 9...

+I will always work on rappatools since i use it every time in max.

hi RappyBMX, i was hopping in

hi RappyBMX,

i was hopping in the past to get a trial of your version 3 (version 2 kind of never convinced me to try).
about purchasing it, at the time i was finally considering it, the development of your script seemed to be dead (i would hate to get used to a tool that would become sooner or later incompatible...)
anyway, for right now, im not sure about it either, i explain:

im a user of outliner and the creator of it is now working on a version 3 that is going to work only in max2013 due to some changes in the sdk and also something in the maxscript coding or so, he also mentioned that those changes would affect the existing version 2, it would not work properly in max2013.

so, with that information, i was wondering if those changes in max2013 would affect your newest version 1406 also, if yes, what are your plans...?

thx in adv.
