Recompiling Solution

[Anonymous]

Hey guys,
I've got a few questions about recompiling a solution. For those of you who have used Helix Pro you'll noticed that when in the parameters when you hit 'tab' the order of all the properties are all out of wack which to be is very very annoying so I wanted to dive in there and re-order the property options so they are in the appropriate order. With that being said here are my few questions.


1. How do I recompile for the older version of max? I only have the 2012 sdk and 2013 sdk installed. The tool was originally recompiled for 2009 - 2013 by Marius. Do I just install the older version of the sdk of 3dsMax for visual studio? What options need changed when building the solution in order to build for the older versions like it currently is?

2. Do I used win32 and hybrid? Sadly I've not compiled for a max 32 bit some I'm not sure how to compile for both 32 and 64 bit.

3. How do users test older builds of plugins when, like me, I'm only running 2012 and 2013? I can't download demos of older versions.

If there is anything else you guys think would be worth mentioning let me know. Thank you.
Hope this isn't to much to ask for thanks guys.

You always need the proper MaxSDK and the proper VS Version. Which version, can be found on Laniers webpage.

This is all explained in the MaxSDK documentation.

I'm still supporting Max6 up to Max2013 x32 & x64 with 7 different plugins. No problem at all on the same development PC and more and more #defines spreaded in the code 😉

If you want do this more or less professional, join ADN. Then you get all release versions, all debug versions and also superb support (even for the deepest areas in the SDK).

Today ADN is your only chance if you want to get professional services for professional products. This SDK board is almost down and even on Laniers board is only little traffic anymore.
