#ThumbView Mod Browser
6 messages in this thread
Arrgghh! Just spent several hours creating the thumbnails for my meshes dir.
Did several updates along the way to correct missing map-paths and viewports
and had no problem continuing to see thumbnails that had already been created.
Began thumbnail creation on my projects dir, "ESC" keyed out to fix some stuff,
went into 3DS, loaded TVMOD.PXP and BANG! My meshes dir now only has a few of
the thumbs avail??! Back out and ran modindx against meshes dir and it tells
me all are up to date and makes no changes. Back to 3DS, changed the viewport
on one .3ds file, out to modindx and it sees the change and says it is updating
it. Back to 3DS and the same thing. Even that newly updated thumb has a red
cross thru it still! What am I doing wrong? I am not using the -o option. My
mesh files count 373. Too many? I hope not!
Help! Bill
Hi Bill,
Bummer! I'm calling Animatex Monday morning to see if I can help you.

Hi David, Cool and thanks! This version appears to be buggy in its error
handling and procedural use. I really like the IPAS and find it very usefull
so far. I hope Animatex will continue to improve their current products as
well as turn out more fine new ones. I am making a list of "wishes" for TVMOD
as wel as list of probs I am encountering. The prob I msgd u with seems to me
to be in the way the modindx.exe program handles the .bxp and .mdx creation. I
rebuilt the entire meshes dir and again was moving files around, changing maps
and correcting other things that modindx.exe doesnt handle cleanly and the prob
occurred again. This time I lost the thumbnail info for about 20 of 360 mesh
files, and no matter what I do I cant get them back! The interesting point is
that modindx says all files are up to date. I moved the "problem" files to
another dir, ran modindx again to see it remove them, added them back to the
dir to watch modindx recreate them, go into 3DS and TVMOD and those files just
recreated still have the "red X" in the viewports.
Thanks for interceeding, Bill.
P.S. Tell Lavina I am sending my LenzFX and Mirage demo tape today, MAR 27.
