Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel Xeon with Poser 7.0.2.132
BB, sorry I am so late to the party, but I just discovered this thread last Thursday on June 26th and spent the weekend reading the first 15 pages of posts while I waited to return to my Mac on Monday night in order to try out your new VSS.
Seeing my configuration above, I'm sure you already know the results I got. Yes, loaded up the buttons in the python window, but nothing happens when I push them.
First, a little info about Macs that PC people may not know. The "4" in my above configuration means that I'm running the "Tiger" version of Mac's OS. When they upgraded their OS, the new number became 10.5.1. What they "Leopard." Very odd since most of us who are very familiar with software upgrades think of this as simply a version update. With Mac, it's an upgrade - a $129 upgrade, in fact.* * Kind of like from Windows XP to Windows Vista. And in spite of those cute Windows/Mac commercials, Leopard has it's share of bugs.
Next, what I did.
After downloading both files, I placed the the props and lights in my secondary runtime. And I placed the VSS python folder in my main runtime python folder.
I then placed the vssMainButtons.py script in the "Script Menu" folder of my python folder. Now that you have Poser 7, you're aware of what the script menu is. This is the menu where I have the ParmaticUpdater script for AMUCFS also.
Back to Poser (after a restart to initialize the new scripts) I loaded up one of my pre-existing characters. I loaded up the VSS 2 prop. I went to my "scripts" and clicked on the vssMainButtons.py. The VSS button all showed up on the python window. I clicked "synchronize" and nothing happened.
Remembering having the same issue when installing AMUCFS, I placed the VSS python folder in the "Package Contents" folder. This is revealed when you right-click on the actual Poser Application. Not only did I place the whole VSS folder in my PythonExtentions folder, I also placed the contents of the folder within that folder - just to be safe.
