Does the Mirror Points Script work in 9.5 and up?

[Vercingetorix]

Hi
I was wondering if anyone can tell me whether the Mirror Points and Flip Mirrored Points Menu Scripts found here:
http://www.hubumedia.com/anime-studio-s ... nu-scripts
are compatible with Anime studio 9.5 and up because I seem to be having a little trouble getting them to work.

As far as I can tell I have done everything described on the page to install them but all I get when I launch AS 9.5 are a bunch of empty tools. The buttons show up in my toolbar but when I click them nothing happens and no options appear where they normally would for other tools.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

So nobody knows?

I would really appreciate it if someone with a little more experience installing scripts would have a quick go at installing them and tell me if they work, just so I can determine if it is something I am doing wrong or that the scripts just aren't compatible with my version(s) of Anime studio.

Also is this the right section to be posting this sort of question or would I be more likely to get a response if I posted my question in another section?
I wasn't really sure where to put it when I first posted.

just to be clear - the installation needs to be in your custom folder -- see Help / Open (or Set) Custom Content Folder.

The text files referred to are in <your custom path>/scipts/tool; and the .LUA script files need to go there too.

=====
If you intend to install them as buttons and you don't already have any other custom scripts then you need to:

make a backup copy of the files _reference_tool_list.txt (and _tool_list.txt if it's there)

open _reference_tool_list.txt in a text editor and add the lines as per the instructions
button hm_mirror_points ...
button hm_flip_symmetrical_keys ...
button hm_flip_symmetrical_points_h ...

"save as" _tool_list.txt

(restart Anime Studio)

====
If you DO have other scripts installed and working then:

make a backup copy of _tool_list.txt

open _tool_list.txt in a text editor and add the lines as per the instructions
button hm_mirror_points ...
button hm_flip_symmetrical_keys ...
button hm_flip_symmetrical_points_h ...

save the file
(restart Anime Studio)

===

That should do it.

Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately I still can't get the buttons working and it frustrates me to no end because it's not like the instructions you gave me are terribly complicated.

I did notice one thing while installing them though so I thought I should mention it just in case it has any relevance: in the _tool_list.text file that was created with my installation (and in the custom content folder) there are no other tools which are listed as as " Button hm_name ... "
they are all written as "Tool lm_name ... "

thanks again

ok.. files that start LM_ are those that come as standard with AS (LM stands for Lost Marble) -- scripters are asked to pick their own 2 letter combo - Vern uses HM_ (HubuMedia), I use HS_ (HayaSidist) etc...

Check the first line of the _tool_list.txt (note - txt NOT text -- maybe just a typo in the post, but maybe not?)

it should look something like

/* anime_version 9050001 (9.5.0 rev 1) */ (can't say exactly because I'm on the road and the "legacy" computer that has older versions on it is back at base)

But if it's (say) /* anime_version 9010001 (9.1.0 rev 1) */ then the file won't be recognised by AS9.5

dumb questions: you did put the LUA and .pngs in the right place?? and the Button lines in the right place in the tool list??

and checked that the names in the tool are the same as the .lua file names?? I don't use these scripts -- but I've just looked at the install files -- I think the file names in the download are slightly different from in the instructions:

button hm_mirror_points_h ...
button hm_flip_symmetrical_keys ...
button hm_flip_symmetrical_points_h ...

If all else fails, send a PM to heyvern memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=895 and ask the author...
