3ds Max Plugin Error Popup Handler

Deprecated Deadline 6 Bug Reports
#1

Hi,

We run nPower Tools in our studio as a floating license. Unfortunately this means that when we remove the ability of a machine to get the license it throws up a popup that causes the job to fail on all machines. I add the following line to our system to our 3dsmax.py to handle this:

nPower Software Plugin 8 - Trial or Floating License installed with no license available

self.AddPopupHandler( “.nPower Plugins 8 for 3DS MAX.”, “Exit” )

It might be useful if this was always in as I always have to search through the old files to find the lines and add them back in to the new install…!

Cheers

Nick

Actually it’s two handlers:

    # nPower Software Plugin 8 - Expired Trial
    self.AddPopupHandler( ".*nPower Plugins 8 for 3DS MAX.*", "Exit" )

    # nPower Software Plugin 8 - Floating Licenses installed with no license available
    self.AddPopupHandler( ".*Not Enough Network Licenses.*", "OK" )

I don’t think either error should actually stop the job from rendering properly because it has the nPower reader installed but I will check to make sure that’s the case.

Sounds good. If you can confirm there aren’t any issues, we’ll add these popup handlers in the next beta release.

Thanks!
