Having problem with NWMax

[Kaidon Jorn 197]

So I ended up reinstalling Gmax and now I'm having a most frustrating problem..

 

nwmax won't start.

 

I did what the readme said and extracted nwmax into c; program fies\Gmax\scripts, then moved autonwmax.ms to scripts\startup, but still not having any luck.

The green NWmax icon is on my desktop, and also tried to start the script manually by using the "run script" in Gmax but nothing is happening.

Green desktop icon is not starting it. No idea what to do.

 

heeeeeelllllp

Are you using the GMax version of the script?

[Kaidon Jorn 197]

Oooh..uuum..I dont know. I just extracted the 0.7 zip file into c;\program files(x86)\Gmax\scripts

 

it's actually called "NWMax-Gmax-0_7setup.exe" and it's the one I used to setup before, but that was awhile ago.

 

found this readme in the the folder with it after installing

 

(Preferred method) Quick install instructions for auto start users:

 

1. Extract the zip file to the gmax\scripts directory. You should now have a new folder called NWmax (case is not important)
2. move the file autonwmax.ms to the folder <some path>\gmax\scripts\startup\
3. start gmax

 

NWmax should now start automatically

 

 

 

So I thought I did that right, but I have no idea whats going on..

 

 

 

Quick install instructions for users wanting to start NWmax by hand
1. Extract the zip file to the gmax\scripts directory. You should now have a new folder called NWmax (case is not important)
2. start gmax
3. run the script nwmax.ms

I always had to start the script manually, the NWMax exe never worked for me, so that in itself is not an issue. After trying to run the script manually, press F11 to open the Listener window and see if it lists any info.

 

Could be worth installing GMax outside Program Files. Windows is super bitchy about stuff running in there.

[Kaidon Jorn 197]

Ok yeah will try that.

 

What i did just do was to move the NWMax folder to Gmax's main folder, and that seems like it did *something*..plugins were loading but the NWMax skinny side menu didnt load up..

 

F11 showed me this

 

nwpaste.txt

The Listener log would seem to indicate that the script loaded fine. Not sure what the issue is there exactly.

OH

 

 

MY

 

 

GOD..

 

 

@_*(%_)*%_)*#)(&%)_(*@!!!!!!!!

 

 

figures...

 

 

so I just re extracted the setup file to the main Gmax folder and everything works fine.

But I did just reinstall Gmax just to my C drive instead of within the program filesx86 folder...don't know if that had anything to do with it but there ya go.

I'm still shaking my head.

Sorry, having a ridiculously bad day

So yeah, Program Files strikes again, eh? Your best bet with any Windows install is to set up a separate drive/partition for any programs. I always have a D drive for that.
