Surpress warning/pop-up dialogs.

[Vizioen]

So it frustrates me that Max doesn't have a button that could disable all the popups you can get when opening a max file. For instance I would really like to be able to put some default settings in the following dialogs and then never have to see them again:

-The Vray 3 dialogs you get that explain the new way of sampling or whatnot. I think there are 2 of those.
-The units mismatch. I just want it to every time convert to MY sceneunits. I've never needed the original units ever.
-The gamma LUT popup. I also want it to use my settings, no disabled LUT or other gammas.
-Textures missing. I don't need to know that either. I know there are textures missing, I'll fix it myself.

I've found this though but it doesn't work. Or I can't get it to work properly.

Any tips or scripts?

That isolate popup frustrates the heck out of me.

Well there are a few more. Some files are from before new vray sun ages, before 3.0 ages, where LUTs are disabled, and bitmaps are missing, with a units mismatch and something isolated. Lots of clicking before you can start (thats about 8 times)


I'm currently making a massive library of models with the connecter app, and its working great (3800 models so far, 50% done). But I'm also using the batch relink tool that comes with project manager to relink all of the files to a new folder structure. And there's a nice setting that can run a script after the file opened as well. If I could just run a script that does this:

-Reset Vray settings to default ones or even to a rendersettingsfile
-Enable LUT and put it to gamma 2.2 / 2.2
-Rescale to MY scene units

That would be great. So if anyone with some good scripting skills could help me. I'm sure I'm not the only one that can benefit from this and I'm quite surprised I'm the only trying to find a solution.



Edit: the script silentium I mentioned only works with XREFs apparently.

Aaaanybody?

The V-Ray dialogs can be suppressed with the MaxScript command setVRaySilentMode(); I'm not sure about the 3ds Max ones though.

Thanks Vlado; well apparently there's a quiet mode for 3ds max as well. But I wonder what option does max choose when suppressing the popup (also which options are chosen by vray, the "new" sun?) I'd have to write a maxscript that can open the max files and not use the default open tool, if I understand correctly. A variable like the one Vray uses would be more appropriate.

For V-Ray, it will always choose the option that doesn't modify the scene, I'm guessing a similar conservative choice is true for 3ds Max as well (but I don't know for sure).
