Problems with maya exporting dts or dsq

by Zergcow · in Artist Corner · 02/13/2008 (8:45 am) · 3 replies

I get this error...


// Error: Plug-in, "maya2dtsExporter" was compiled against too old a version of the Maya API and is thus incompatible with the current Maya version. (maya2dtsExporter) //

--------------------
Exporting shape...
--------------------



// Error: Invalid file type specified: exportDTS //


obviously it has something to do with how i have installed it into my maya8.0 but every freaking time i go to install this stuff the folder i am supposed to install in to doesnt exist so i am always lost.

and i am trying to install maya 8.0 exporter. because i have maya 8.0

any suggestions?

Well this is one I can help with poeple new to the exportor may not under stand you have to kinda n-rig the exporter to work right ....

1 download it
2 extract it
3 for users using 8.5 copy maya2dtsExporter.mll to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya8.5\bin\plug-ins
4 download the maya2dts_filepack
5 extract the maya2dts_filepack
6 then in the dtsUtility folder coply the dtsUtility.mel to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya8.5\scripts
7 then copy the dtsUtility.bmp to the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya8.5\icons
8 open maya
9 in the mel/ script editor past this dtsUtility;
10 in maya open the window -> general editor -> Script editor paste this dtsUtility; the holding this middle mouse butten drag it to you shelf
11 in maya open your shelf editor select the dtsUtility change icon and name it

if you dont do every step from 4 on it wont work in maya 8.5
