Keeping RSX based plugin buttons visible in TS 6.6

Post by BNG »

I recently discovered that keeping RSX based plugins visible when running the Truespace 6 tab of TS 7.61 was not possible. However, it can be done using the Default view tab and selecting the Model tab itself. Then when you close TS it will remember the layout and load the model side along with the RSX based buttons accessible for using things like Clinton's various model import and export features. I was using only 7.6, but found it necessary to reinstall 7.61 Beta 8 to open an RsScn that under 7.6 gave a loading error; presumately due to changes made when 7.61 was released. I'm guessing for those of us who want to use the newer TS model formats as well as the older modeling tools then 7.61 is a must have installation.

I never really gave the issue much thought as most of my modeling is done using the older 6.6 features of TS, but it seems that there will be times when using 7.61 just adds more flexibilty to future modeling projects that exceed the old TS 6.6 modeling tools. Leroy.

Great tip.

I think you are also showing Froo's Import Export RSX plugin.

Thanks, now I realize that the OBJ exporter is Froo's. I've pretty much started using Beta 8 again due to the issues with 7.6 not wanting run my RSX plugins and problems trying to load newer RsScn and RsObj objects. Cheers, Leroy.
