thats what i made in my last installer

im telling u its the best way, as the RBD said the elegan

Ok, that is almost perfect.

Can you rename it to DynamicaBullet2.72?

The dll's (msvcp80.dll, msvcr80.dll) have to be in the plugin folder, next to BulletMayaPlugin.mll which is a dll. So can you please remove the 'dll' folder and move both dll's next to the .mll?

After those changes, can you share the install script again?
Thanks again,
Erwin

sure no problem

The script files have been checked into the Bullet repository.

Some minor changes, to make it work out-of-the-box -> docs renamed to doc, and dll's are included from the original location, assuming MSVC 2005 is installed.
Just compile BulletMayaPlugin.mll using the included Bullet\Extras\MayaPlugin\BulletMayaPlugin.sln, and compile the script using free NSIS 2.39 and that's it!

Please test the installer here: http://code.google.com/p/bullet/downloa ... _Win32.exe

Thanks a lot,
Erwin

Hi Erwin is there a new source for Dynamica? some changes or something, coz i want it to make a new build for win 64 and to make a installer for that one too...

btw u can remove this line (;CreateDirectory "$INSTDIR\dll") from script we dont need it...

cheers

btw would be nice if any1 could make some gfx for installer, an small image 150x300 (WxH) i dont know some nice 3d bullet with dynamica txt over or something like that , just an idea...

cheers

bazuka, you can get all of the latest sources anytime with:(or whatever directory you want to copy the source to, you could keep multiple revisions simply by using different directory names) as indicated at Bullet's Google code page.
All of the sources, including Dynamica scripts and icons etc. are included in the trunk.

Tested... and it's great, but some ideas / feedback:
The plugin is installed in the "Program Files" directory yet the module is installed in user's directory. I see it this way (and I think perhaps only the first option needs to be implemented):

• If installing for all users, install plugin in the "Program Files" directory and put the module in the shared: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Alias Shared\Modules\Maya\2008" directory (not sure if the name of this path changes per installation?).
• If installing for an individual, then perhaps install both plugin and module in user's personal directory.

Also, not sure why the module is named: "BulletDynamica.6_module"? (what's the 6 stand for?) Based on what I write below, perhaps the module should just be named: DynamicaBullet?

The other thing I tried is to have multiple installations, like "Program Files\DynamicaBullet2.72" and "Program Files\DynamicaBullet2.73"... it doesn't work, Maya will take the last script by the same name it finds, it does not segregate the modules. In light of this, perhaps you should install to "Program Files\DynamicaBullet" instead, since multiple versions cannot co-exist? ... or simply suggest that people uninstall before installing newer versions.

Good work,
Thanks,
Cheers.

10x for testing,

- yeah maybe ur right about the installing for all users i think i can solve that have to look...

about the module name im not sure i think i saw somewhere some plugin named same so just copy

multiple ver are not possible at this moment i could make a fix its not a probl but why would any1 have 'same' plugin 2x???

in maya u will use only 2.72 or 2.73....

well basically i could change everything if we all agree about it wont be any probl for me to change it

cheers

i have made a new build for x64 i have removed the ver numbers from directory name, 6_ from module

if i forgot anything remind me plz

cheers

there was a small bug in previous installer for x32 & x64 (sorry, i switch the module names) when u do uninstall plz manually delete DynamicaBullet.module from My Documents\maya\modules\

here is the fixed version...

Erwin u could upload this to the google/download and then we can remove this link

p.s. in next installer build ill add uninstall in Add/Remove Programs, and detection of previous ver of Dynamica Bullet

more coming up...

First of all I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate what you are doing. I am so looking forward to start playing with Bullet. Thank you Bazuka for all the work compiling the plugin for all different versions of Maya.

My name is Jim and at our studio (CBS-D) we are running Maya2008 x 64 on windows. I followed the following link and downloaded what I think is the version of bullet for Maya 2008 x 64 :

http://rapidshare.com/files/148807616/D ... 4.rar.html

I looked for it at the google open source pages, but did not see it there ( http://code.google.com/p/bullet/downloads/list ).

It installed without a hitch. Yet, when I tried to enable the plugin i receive the following message:

// Error: Plug-in, "BulletMayaPlugin" was compiled against a newer version of the Maya API and is incompatible with the current Maya version. (BulletMayaPlugin) //

Any ideas?

hm, let me check its possible there is a bug with some dll plz hold on.....

ok, i have just checked and i dont have a probl here, i also ask 2 of my friends to try and they said that they didnt had any probl running the plugin...

Update

Dynamica v2.73 Maya2008 x64
