Empty plugin name and description

Anonymous
Not applicable

I created modifier plugin and faced a strange 3D Studio bug or feature.

 

How to reproduce this bug:

Copy plugin to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2020\Plugins

Launch 3D Studio MAX 2020.

Create some geometry object

Try to apply my modifier to this object: open Modifier List.

 

What happens: no my modifier in Modifier List. Instead there is one empty item. When I click on this empty item my modifier is applied to the selected object. When I open Plugin Manager I see empty description in my plugin. It looks like 3D Studio does not download some text resources from the plugin.

Copying to folder C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2020\Plugins requires admin rights and 3D Studio runs whithout admin rights. Can it cause this problem?

 

If I copy my plugin to folder located inside my Documents folder and add path to this folder to plugins path 3D Studio downloads my plugin correctly.

impossible to answer, as you wrote not one word about how you created your plugin with which tool, in which language and how your code looks like..

check your modifier code... 
all these three functions must return const MCHAR*

	const MCHAR*		ClassName()					{ return ...; } 
	const MCHAR*		InternalName()					{ return ...; }
	const MCHAR* 		Category()					{ return ...; }
