HELP! Trying to get the MayaCryExport 2013 to work in Maya!

I dont know whats going on.. Ive done all the steps that are listed here: http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/SDKDOC3/Installing+the+Maya+Tools

And watched this video on youtube: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTNGNhqoDa8"]how to install Cryengine3 Exporter to Maya 2012 tutorial - YouTube[/ame]

I still cant get this to work.. I have gone into my plug-in manager and gotten the mayaCryExport22013 loaded but when i click on any of the icons in the cryengine shelf i still get an error saying //Error: Line 1.21: Cannot find file "cryexport.mel" for source statement...?!?! :poly127:

Any suggestions? I have am out of ideas here.. and I cant find any help on google..

I just downloaded the latest version of Cryengine3 so I know im up to date there.. and I have Maya 2013 on the Windows side of my computer..

Any help would be AMAZING! Thanks! :)

    it seems Maya doesnt know where the mel scripts (and the shelf) that belong to the exporter are. They need to be X:\Users\Username\Documents\maya\20XX-x64\prefs\scripts and X:\Users\Username\Documents\maya\20XX-x64\prefs\shelves.
    You need to restart, so maya can source these scripts on startup.

    Just a warning that might be unrelated to your problem but still relevant until Crytek will release the next update: current (3.5.3) SDK release shipped with a partially broken rc.exe (resourse compiler), rendering exports with collidable geometry impossible. It might be a good idea to postpone the exports to the engine until the next update, or to use an older version of the SDK until then.
