Hello @Anonymous and welcome to the community,

This is strange, this is a script file that makes a model, in theory.  It crashed for me on 2017 and on 2014.  Where did you get this?  This is beyond my ability to repair...

Hello!

The origin modell type is gr2 (granny) and I have a converter which can produce gr2 to .ms script file. But a few didn't work. I think its a memory problem because i didnt find difference between the working ones and dont working ones...just file size..

I attach a working file.

Just pull on max window

Thanks for help.

Hello @Anonymous,

Thank you for the explanation.  I have to log this into the tracker and send it up the chain.  I don't know how to address this particular issue and any fixes would have to come from development.  

Can this converter export a different type of format?  Or does it only do .ms?  The script that's not working is 60,000 lines of code.. maybe it hit some sort of limit.  It is a memory problem of some kind given the access violation error, and it will require a programmer or QA person to really investigate.  I will log it now.  It may be a while before this gets looked at, so I would start looking into alternative methods in the meanwhile if possible, just so you aren't left hanging.

Hello!

Yes, you're right.

20-25000 line at reading the 3ds Max.How can I modify this to read more than few lines? so i need maybe 1-2.000.000 row 😄 

Thanks for help 🙂

2 million lines of code in a .ms script.... I have my doubts.  I've logged this to be looked at but right now my suggestion is to export into a different format.  I can't quite understand the benefit of doing it this way... is .ms the only format it can export?  If so... why?  Thanks for any information.

Hello!
My modells type is .gr2 (granny) : http://www.radgametools.com/granny.html

You can open this format with Granny Viewer.  
I have one converter which i  can create one format for Max.
I dont find 3ds max plugin for gr2 exporter. So yes I know the only way.

Thanks for help 🙂

Hello @Anonymous,

Is there another converter you can use?  Is the reason that the file needs to be .ms because that's the only format your current converter supports? 

I have emailed support at Granny to see if they have some ideas about other methods of converting the file, I will let you know what I find out.  In the meanwhile,  I did log the issue into the bug tracker and send to QA.  I'm not a programmer so I'm a bit outside my element but I'll continue trying to find an answer for you.  If this is a bug in 3ds Max with line length, it will be looked at by QA.  I've tested in 2014 and 2017 and got crashes in both.

Hello @Anonymous,

I heard back from Aaron at Granny3D and he was super helpful and gave me a bit more information.  This isn't a Granny issue at all, and does seem to trigger a problem in 3ds Max.  As I mentioned I've logged it for QA to investigate, but in the meanwhile please see if you can find another converter that may allow you to export as a format other than .ms for the time being. I will update you when I know more, and thanks.
