CryMayaTools Control panel?

sbiswas

Hi guys! This is my first post on Polycount forum! I am a beginner to cryengine at this moment and I got stuck at this "CryMayaTools" control panel. This control panel thing pops up when I start up Maya and I have absolutely no idea whatsoever as what those "server" and "override" boxes do in that control panel.

There is already a "CryMayaTools" option in the menu bar and it has the same "control panel" thing which gives the same "control panel" dialog box which pops up if clicked. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

P.S. I have attached the screen of the problem. I have tried to help you guys out by assigning numbers in the picture to help me solve my problem. 1 and 3 are related and 2 is the thing that pops up when Maya starts or when I click the "control panel" inside the "CryMayaTools" option as shown in the attached jpeg file!

What's the problem exactly? I just ignore it myself.

It's a local network path from inside of crytek. Fs1 is the server name, tech art and tools/libs are paths to tools and libs.

Not relevant for you, I guess.

i dont use cryengine but i guess you can just point it to the local directories where the rest of the tools are held.

the \\fs1\ thing is a network location.

Most tech artists in studios setup all there tools on a network location and have maya search there for its scripts that way they can update the scripts with out making the users re-download them, and so logs can be saved to the server.

im assuming if they distributed this tool to the public, they would have included local copies of what it needs to reference.

I dont know if it was a problem. As I said you guys, I am new to this engine, I hardly know the in and outs of its plugins for Maya!
