NOTE: A build posted around 4:30 pm PST had a wrong script file version. The adding of Presets was not switching the Iteration mode correctly and the modifier was not being renamed to the preset name. If you are the one person who downloaded that build, please UNINSTALL the 0.9 build first, then install the new version posted at 5:45 pm PST.
[size=150]Change List:[/size]
Installer And Licensing
- Modified Genome license dialog to allow for editing existing licensing info instead of just responding to errors.
- Fixed MaxPluginWixHelper CustomAction to allow for partial uninstall of shared components (like ThinkboxSchematicControl).
- Bumped up version number for RC 1
Modifier UI
- Changed the Iteration mode names to “Vertices”, “Faces” and “Face Corners”.
- New “Help” rollout with buttons to access the Online Help and open the License Dialog.
- New [>] button next to the Open Magma Editor button to quickly load Presets into an existing modifier. NOTE that this loading operation is NOT UNDOABLE, while loading from inside the Editor is undoable, and using the Add Genome Preset MacroScript creates a new modifier so it is also non-destructive.
- Adding a Preset via the modifier’s menu will also rename the modifier, if allowed.
- Added “EXPLORE Presets Folder…” menu item to the top of the Presets menu.
Debugger
- The Debugger display inside the flow nodes was not respecting the Nth spinner. Fixed.
- The Debugger will now store the column width for each operator type and reuse that value in future sessions, including other modifiers.
- Added an option to show the multiple outputs of a node as separate columns or within the same column.
- Clicking on the column head will select the node and the socket if using separate column per output socket.
- Added a “Debug Selected Only” option. Changing the selection in the Editor will update the Debugger, showing only the relevant columns.
- Now opening the Debugger above the Editor if there is no room below (less than 200 pixels), or on top of the Editor if there is no room on either side.
BLOPS
- Replaced DegToRad and RadToDeg with Chad Capeland’s versions.
- Removed the QuatFromAngleAndAxis BLOP from the installer since there is a dedicated Convert operator to do the same which is also faster.
Bug Fixes
- Added valid modifier check when adding a Genome modifier to avoid crashed with for example PRT Volume which is Geometry, but unsupported.
- Fixed a MAXScript error when closing Curve Editor and the corresponding Magma Editor was not open.
