Re: [Maya2osg-users] Discussion of next changes

Hi guys,

I've started looking at what you've done Peter for the pre/post-export 
script, it's cool that it's a MEL command. Is it possible from this 
field to call a function in a separate MEL script? Say I have a function 
called doPreExportStuff() in a file called preExport.mel, can I do 
something like (pseudocode)

loadMEL("preExport.mel"); doPreExportStuff();

?

If so that should be fine.

Second, I am getting an error when I click Export and the pre-export 
script field contains the default thing you put there (print( "preExp 
$path$file.$type " ) ;)  First of all there seemed to be a newline 
character in there at the end, because it would say:

print( "preExp 
C:/Users/jeang/Documents/maya/projects/default/scenesbox_normalmap_maya2osg.osg

" ) ;
// Error:  //
// Error: Unterminated string. //

So just before the closing quote there seems to be a newline. Then when 
I removed the newline, I got this:

print( "preExp 
C:/Users/jeang/Documents/maya/projects/default/scenesbox_normalmap_maya2osg.osg" 
) ;
preExp 
C:/Users/jeang/Documents/maya/projects/default/scenesbox_normalmap_maya2osg.osg
// Error: Too many arguments.  Expected 0, found 1. //

Is the print("preExp ...") supposed to call a function called preExp? 
The error is because this function does not exist? Or is it something else?

Sorry for my MEL newb-ness...

The other two examples (post-export exec( "osgviewer cow.osg" ) and 
preview exec( "osgviewer $file" ) work fine. They're great additions. 
Thanks.

Thanks in advance,

J-S
