Wall Worm Forums

Hey, did you have time looking into this?
I saw Wall Worm 5.1.41 was released, the update log is not yet updated.

Edit: Just found out you have Discord channel, the update log is there.

The issue is that the modifier UI is mostly a custom attribute instead of native C++ because I am much better with MAXScript than C++. The default behavior of custom attributes is to propagate into collapsed geometry. I may be able to detect this in an event listener; I will put it onto my backlog to address. No ETA.

Thanks! Script works fine!

When to expect fixed Modifier?

You should be able to select the object(s) and paste this into MAXScript listener then hit enter:

for obj in selection do (while (custAttributes.count obj > 0) do (custAttributes.delete obj 1))

Note it will delete ALL custom attributes on the node... so if you have others that you want to keep, you'll need more selective code.

Hi again!

Max 2022 Version (and maybe 2023) - Again problem from version 1.
After stack collapse "delete poly rollout" stays under edit poly rollouts.

Can you fix it fast? - work must go to the Cliient.

Thanks!

I just started doing c++, it is so complex and broad in comparison to c# (which I was doing work with, the last 7 years).

Yes, it's something I can add. It's just time. I am one of world's top MAXScript people, but not the best C++ people. The WW plugin for MDL Loading is all C++. It's now been a few years since I did any serious looking into that code. So it would take some time. I very much intend to add Morph, Animation and 2nd UV support ... but whether I will actually get to find the time for that is another issue. I've toyed with hiring someone to help update some of the C++ plugins, but finding someone knowledgeable about Source engine coding and also Max SDK is hard--and those I know are too busy right now to take up any side gigs.

Is it possible for you to do the update on WallWorm plugin?
I know you are probably busy with Autodesk and stuff.

There are probably other ways I can try to get this channel out, but it would be most comfortable via WallWorm.
I tried MilkShape, MESA for Maya, also Valve's Model Viewer . No luck. I will try HammUEr for Unreal now. There is also some Blender method, that I am not familiar with yet.

I know it's been a while since you replied, but do I understand it correctly that you are still trying to get the original second UV-channel from official Valve models? I'm really not sure if it's possible. You could actually do an update that allows this, Shawn?
