Inspired by the modelspace Material List tool

Displays a list of D3D materials with controls for naming and editing the material and selecting the objects that use the material
Naming the materials is useful for exporting out of trueSpace
The list is most useful for scene instanced materials and scenes that don't have a large number of renderable objects. It can be used to manually delete orphaned scene instanced materials or load them into the material editor to be assigned to an object.
Color coding is white=not instanced, green=scene instanced, yellow=instanced orphaned and black is no material.

Any idea how to stop these errors?
Steps:
Add 3 Cubes
Open Material List
Use [ S ] to Select
Delete it
Use [ S ] to Select will throw an error

ERR Source object: Error: Unspecified script error Line: 59, Char: 1 Script text:

Same with [ E ] ] D] and [ Name ]

I think you forgot a return

ERR Source object: Error: Unspecified script error Line: 63, Char: 1 Script text:

Code: Select all

	if(!Node.Exists(allMaterials[index + MaterialsListStartIndex])) {
		System.Alert("The Materials List is out of sync. Press the Update button");
	}

Why not run the update and no Alert?

Code: Select all

	if(!Node.Exists(allMaterials[index + MaterialsListStartIndex])) {
		//System.Alert("The Materials List is out of sync. Press the Update button");
Activity.Run('Scripts/CustomCommands/Materials List/update')
return
	}

Oops, added returns and uploaded new installer.

I think the E, D, and Name buttons should select the object first
First slot

Code: Select all

matsFS.SelectMaterialItems(0);

Update August 2024

uses "standard" floating panel
load on demand install type
forces panel view open and if nothing selected selects the first item in the scene - all required for the panel to update
open panel resets to the top of the list
home and end buttons adapted from UU version
smaller material preview and fewer buttons - not so busy
new materials utilities button - requires separate install of the new Material Utilities scripts
"no undo" script commands to update the panel
auto press update button adapted from the UU version - updates automatically if needed and tells you to "try again"
Page Up and Page Down buttons may have been reversed in previous version

While working on the Materials List I found this.

I thought something was broken because the material preview is a flat square instead of the normal sphere shape. Then I realized the material had a vertex shader. It looks like vertex shader deformation will change it's appearance(surprised emoji).

Update August 28 2024

requires new rsx plugin, v1638456
no longer requires any selection to work
no longer requires the open stack view to update the panel

Update November 16

The main motivation for this update was that I had a scene with about 100 curves so the script found over a hundred materials. The second was that I wanted to be able to only look at and work with a selected object's materials.

changes:
remove curve objects from the display
option only display for selected objects
option copy material to be edited
option include dimension objects material
option scene instanced
