Error installing plugin windows 11 maya 2020-2023 #28

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

Error loading the plugin in Maya 2020, 2022, and 2023 for Windows 11 64-bit all with a similar error message:

Maya 2020 // Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2020/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 935: (DazToMaya)

Maya 2022: // Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2022/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 934: (DazToMaya)

Maya 2023: // Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2023/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 934: (DazToMaya)

I'm brand new to Maya, subscribed and installed last night, bought DazToMaya this morning and installed it via DIM. The plugin is installed to C:\Users\\OneDrive\Documents\maya\modules\DazToMaya\scripts by DIM. I tried copying the plugin files to another location to prove onedrive wasn't doing something screwy. That didn't change anything.

Despite getting no feedback other than the error message, it apparently installed the plugin on the DazToMaya shelf. I didn't even notice that until I started playing around with Maya several hours after rage-quitting earlier today. There is still a problem, the DAZ side writes to c:\Users\\documents... and Maya's side reads from c:\Users\\onedrive\Documents... I don't know how to change that, but perhaps this ticket should be closed as "error by design".

I also noticed an oddity when I set the export to subdivision level of 2 with a bunch of JCM morphs, pretty funky looking results. Perhaps a different ticket for those.
