Converting plugin from Max5

Anonymous — Thu, 02 May 2013 17:40:12 GMT

Hi all, I am trying to convert a proprietary plugin that was written in vs2003 and 3ds max 5 sdk. It uses character studio headers as well.

Now it compiles currently but it fails to get the animation data, can someone give me a short list of things that changed since the max5 SDK? or is the list too big?

I have something like this and I believe it fails because GEN_DERIVOB_CLASS_ID is deprecated

Modifier* GameExporter::GetPhysiqueMod(INode &node)
{
 Object *pObj = node.GetObjectRef();

 if(pObj)
 {
 MessageBox(0, L"Got inside pObj", L"", MB_OK);

 auto T = pObj->SuperClassID();

 std::wstringstream ss; ss << T;
 std::wstring ss2 = ss.str();
 MessageBox(0, ss2.c_str(), L"", MB_OK); //prints 16 0x10

 while(T == GEN_DERIVOB_CLASS_ID)
 {
 MessageBox(0, L"Inside while loop", L"", MB_OK);

 int i = 0;
 IDerivedObject *pDerivedObj = static_cast<IDerivedObject*>(pObj);
 
 while (i < pDerivedObj->NumModifiers ())
 {
 MessageBox(0, L"Inside second while loop", L"", MB_OK);
 Modifier* pMod = pDerivedObj->GetModifier (i++);

 if (pMod->ClassID () == Class_ID (PHYSIQUE_CLASS_ID_A, PHYSIQUE_CLASS_ID_B))
 {
 MessageBox(0, L"Inside that last if", L"", MB_OK);
 return pMod;
 }
 }
 pObj = pDerivedObj->GetObjRef ();
 }
 }
 
 return NULL;
}

Appreciate any help thanks.
