Trouble loading scripts (santos tools)

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am very new to 3ds max and i wanted to get into modeling and stuff. i downloaded 3ds max 2014 student edition.

One thing i want to do is import models from Dawn of war 2 retribution game and modify them. To do that ive installed the santos tool program for the game and the scripts he included for 3ds max 2014 dont seem to work on my 3ds max and i cant figure out why. i know i put them in the scripts folder and everyone says there should be in the maxscripts dropdown an item for santos scripts which isnt popping up for me.

I do get this error though and im not sure if its for the santos tool scripts or something else.

Is it because im using the student version?

As someone who has been building game pipeline tools for years, I've personally spent a lot of time grumbling to myself when someone encounters a problem with one of my tools and asks about it in a random forum rather than my own forums. Inevitably, the user gets all kinds of crazy advice that is far from the correct solution.

Maybe you have already done this, but you should ask this of the developer of the Santos tools. He/She/They are more likely to have the answer--or perhaps they didn't even know about the problem yet. Going to them helps you and them. If you've already done that, then you may want to share any feedback they provided.

By the looks of the error, one of their compiled functions needs to be changed and recompiled. Or perhaps there is a step in installation that was skipped.
