Whats the best way to change the file location of a bunch of PRT loaders? I have 20 PRT loaders and I would like to change the file sequence to a newer version. I thought there was an option like this in the Krakatoa Explorers window but i cant seem to find it.
Thanks
There is no built-in mass-changing mechanism for PRT Loaders.
You have two options:
*Use the File Sequence Manager of each PRT Loader. So you will have to open it (via the [>>] button above the file list) for each loader and use the Repath option 20 times.
*Write your own MAXScript that swaps the base path or sub-folder name while leaving the rest.
I have not thought about how to implement a mass-changing system, because a single PRT Loader could contain large number of (different) paths, and the scene could contain many PRT Loaders with different needs. I am open to suggestions…
Thanks for the suggestions, I went ahead and did it manually this time.
Xmesh loaders seem to appear in the asset tracker and you can change the paths from there. If we could do that for PRT loaders that would be handy. currently they seem to show just the PRT file sequences with out relation to the loaders. In my scene I am using 3 sequences but with various loaders and it just shows the three sequences.
A Global Scene File Sequence Editor that also lists the loaders could be handy as well.
