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

SwampCat84

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.
