Hi everyone; ok, this has probably been discussed before I'm sure, but I'm on dialup, and can't spend the rest of the day going back 300 topics :0p Where do I put the new py scripts? Do I just open the Poser python folder and drop them in there..or what? Err, this is about Poser Pro Pack I notice under files it asks if you wanna run them, and looks on my desktop for them?? Hey, I dunno this stuff..sometimes I even try logging on here thinking my name is renderosity, and not radstorm :0| Bottom line is I got all these cool scripts you guys write, and I dunno where they go..

Generally within the RuntimePythonposerScripts directory. However many scripts need to be installed exactly as stipulated in the accompanying readme file. This is because they will have path dependant code within them. (Most of mine do). Do you have the readme's?

If there's no specific place listed in the script's readme, as Phil has stated, I'd put them either in Runtime:Python:poserScripts or in a subfolder beneath that. To put scripts in permanently as part of your arsenal, you need to link it somehow to the mainButtons.py, by using one of the empty lines to point to an individual script or another menu of scripts. Open mainButtons.py (located in Runtime:Python:poserScripts) in a text editor. In one of the empty lines, which read: "", "..." Replace that with (for example): ":Runtime:Python:PoserScripts:MATWriterPLUS:MATWriterButtons.py", "MATWriter PLUS ->" In this case MATWriterButtons.py is a submenu that I created for my MAT Writer Scripts (Freebies). The first quoted entry is the path to the script or menu of scripts, the second quoted area is the name you want to appear on the scripts palette itself. I hope this helps a bit.
