Preset buttons?

The double arrow preset buttons aren’t working for me. They do nothing at all. Are they supposed to act like they do in Krakatoa?

Yes, they are supposed to work like Krakatoa. So no preset button works for you?

Does the Save… button in the Presets rollout work?

Do they work if you select File->Reset and create a new Frost object?

What do you get if you type FrostUI in the MAXScript listener? No need to reproduce the whole thing here, but you should see something like:

#Struct:FrostUi( createPresetsRCMenu:<fn>; Public, on_ZhuBridsonLowDensityTrimmingThresholdOptions_pressed:<fn>; Public, etc..

None of the buttons in the Presets work.

FrostUI is undefined.

Uh oh.

It’s missing the file FrostUI.ms somehow. Currently Frost fails silently if FrostUI.ms is missing. For now I’ll pop up an error dialog instead.

I’m guessing you have only Frost.dlo installed. This is all you need for most things, but some user interface details require FrostUI.ms and FrostPresetMan.ms as well.

Your C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\plugin.ini should have an entry:

[Directories] Frost=PATH_TO_FROST\Frost\3dsMax2010\x64

where PATH_TO_FROST is Frost’s parent directory. On my computer this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Thinkbox .

And Frost’s directory structure should look a lot like Krakatoa’s. For example in your case you should have:

PATH_TO_FROST\Frost\3dsMax2010\x64\Frost.dlo PATH_TO_FROST\Frost\3dsMax2010\x64\FrostStartup.ms PATH_TO_FROST\Frost\Scripts\FrostUI.ms PATH_TO_FROST\Frost\Scripts\FrostPresetMan.ms
