missing tools

Post by animax940 »

Hello
I watched a youtube tutorial of Moho and I realized there are some tools that are not in my moho version 13.5.2
please can anyone explain to me why?

Those are all third-party tools, written by scripters in the community. Nothing you're missing from the official installation.

You can find these and other third party tools in the Scripting area of the Lost Marble forum and on websites like:

Moho Scripts

and

Anime Studio Tutor: Moho Scripts

Most third party scripts are installed to your Custom Content Folder. Do not copy the scripts to the Programs folder. It's not a good idea to modify the original program files, and you should only add scripts and mods to the Custom Content Folder.

If a script you wish to install is a modification of a native Moho tool, installing it in the Custom Content Folder will non-destructively replace it. If you decide later to switch back the the native version, just remove the one you installed in the Custom Content folder. (You can just move the script files to a folder; that will the script from Moho, effectively disabling it.)

Installing scripts can be done from within Moho using the Install Script command...

...or...

...you can simply drag the scripts folders and files to the Script folder directly. I prefer this latter method because it's easier for me to manage how I use Moho.

To install scripts manually, open the Custom Content Folder by selecting the command from under the File menu. If this command is disabled, it's because you haven't set the folder yet. You can set the folder in the Preferences window. After opening the folder, open the Scripts folder, and then copy the files to one these folders: Menu for tools found under the Scripts menu, and Tools for tools that appear in the Tools window. Some tools require files to be copied to the other folders and this should be explained in the script's documentation. But most tools you will install only need to be copied to the Menus folder or the Scripts folder.

I have a video that's describes installing a script called Layer Shortcuts and if you scrub to 1:44, you can see how it's installed as described above. Most scripts can be installed this way. You can see the video here: https://vimeo.com/331818695

You can change how these custom tools appear in your Tools by editing their order and categories in Prefereces >Tools Layout. Alternatively, you can edit how they appear by editing the Tools List text file in the Scripts folder.

Advice: I would get familiar with all the native tools before installing 3rd party scripts. After you've created a few animations you'll have a better sense for how some of these added features and enhancements can improve your workflow.

Hope this helps.
