Changes when installed to UU

• replaces the Script Manager
• updates the C3D toolbar button in the custom toolbar
• backup Widgets
• minor update to status message to remove junk code - don't see any differences in latest UU Nov 2024

Installation:

To install over the Unofficial Updates version skip to step 3

1. Clintons3dPlugin.rsx - required plugin install before installation.
2. reset default context - required before installation
3. drag the node into the link editor and press install
4. delete the node from the scene after installation is complete
5. Restore Widgets to Originals - if a script installed widget goes bad for some reason this button can be used to restore the original widgets that existed before all persistent installs were executed. Any scripts that depend on these widgets would need to be reinstalled. Restore to default context after pressing this button.
6. update the GetPointsWidget - see link above - is included since July 5

Usage:

Script Manager

Status Indicators from left to right: Not Loaded, Partially Loaded, Fully Loaded

• L - load the scripts and widgets
• U - unload the scripts and widgets and close the toolbar

• Scroll buttons - the slider is only an indicator
• Unload All - unload all the load on demand scripts and widgets and close any open toolbars
• Update - update the list and status indicators
• Reload Base Scripts - reloads all the custom scripts that are missing and not a part of the load on demand system

Note: rsx plugin requires VC++ runtime 2008 from Microsoft. (2007) Get it if the plugin does not install.

Video is for the older v2 C3D

Notes:

• creates clintonobjects\CustomScriptsStore inside the Scripts folder
• creates clintonobjects\CustomScriptsStore2 for load on demand scripts inside the Scripts folder
• creates ScriptManager.RsObj - to reload persistent scripts and on demand scripts
• new in v3 installs Status Message, C3DReset for loading scripts after context reset, JSON Function Set, Global Function Set and Widget Tools
• backup Toolbars.RsObj to ToolbarsORIGINAL.RsObj
• backup Widgets.RsObj to WidgetsORIGINAL.RsObj
• adds C3DButton button to the WorkspaceNav toolbar or modifies the existing button
• saves Toolbars.RsObj - makes the button persistent

Dev Notes

Load on demand installers need to save scripts and associated widgets into the new clintonobjects\CustomScriptsStore2

Functions are added to CCFunctionSet to call and auto load the script

a new entry in the CCFunctionSet list of scripts is added for the Script Manager

var ScriptsData = [];
format =

{"name" : "a name", "desc" : "a description", "toolbar" : "prototype name", "scriptnodes" : ["full path to script1", "full path to script2", "full path to widget1", ...]}
