MXM Checker     
 
1 . Intro

Hi Everybody,

With the motivation and support from Stefan Laub, I wrote a tool to readjust
texture, ior and r2 paths inside MXMs. After some inhouse use, we decided
to release it to the public for free.

The tool is especially useful if you're working with MXMs from the MXMGallery,
the greatest place on this planet for high quality materials.

Every error in the app is mine and mine only, but I won't take responsibility
for any damage to you or your cat. Please bear in mind that
it probably will have its flaws. Messing with MXMs can destroy them, so
please work on copies!

It also integrates a small tool of mine to set the texture preview inside the
MXM, which allows better quality previews than the internal render.


Continue reading on the next step to download and use it.

Have fun!

I have a question, where does the program save the settings to (default paths for example) ?

I couldn't find anything from the windows registry. An small XML-file including the settings in the same directory with .exe would be nice, so people would be able to use same settings and launch the .exe from the network. :)

One small idea:
It would be nice if one could type in default locations (or paste from a clipboard.

In Windows version, folder dialog is very slow to use if multiple folders need to be added one by one.

The settings are saved in the file MXMCheckerPaths.pref, which is located in c:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication Data.

I'll think about typing in new locations, though generally it can easily introduce errors. Keep in mind, that these locations are searched including their subfolders, so there shouldn't be too many entries here anyway.

Hope it helps!
