Is there a way to stop the BuiltIn.prp file

[rocketdog]

Hi all,

I'm using 3ds Max 8.

Is there a way to stop the BuiltIn.prp file from being created? It's screwing up the clickable's in the age I'm working on. I need to delete the BuiltIn.prp file each time I export my age if I want my clickable's to work.

I think this problem started after I installed a python file, which I have since removed.

It's not the BuiltIn file that's causing your clickables to fail, it's that you have it referencing a Python file you've removed. Try actually removing the PFMs in your Age, not just the script. The engine doesn't like it when you pull the rug out under those.

Deledrius,

Can you tell me how to do that?

Rocketdog - Are you using Drizzle to convert the age to be used offline for testing?

Edit: Nevermind. I wasn't sure if Drizzle created a BuiltIn prp for an age if there wasn't one, like it does with the Sum and Age files. But it doesn't.

GPNMilano,

Yes I am.

Can you tell me how to do that?

In the Component Manager, if you list any Python File mods under the Logic category, the exporter will create the binding for a Python file and therefore the engine will expect to find one. I would remove those and see if it resolves your problem. If you're still using them, then you need to supply a Python file for the Age.

I was only using the one python file and I did remove it from Command Manager/Logic. I had also removed the python file from the python folder.
So something else is holding onto the python file.

Are you using SDL states?

[rocketdog]

Well if I understand your question the only thing I have in my age that could be loosely seen as a SDL, I have two extra buttons on the outside of the elevator to recall the elevator to the upper and lower floors. So they take over control of the elevator from the outside of the elevator.

But this problem started before I had those buttons in place.

What is the error in the log file when the BuiltIn is present?
