Custom Library - Deploy to multiple artists?

[SnipeyX]

So I've built a Custom Library for our team and set it up on a network share. How can I deploy this setup automatically to the other artists, without them having to go into the Library browser > Preferences, and manually adding the network path?

I'm guessing there is a .ini file storing this somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it yet. Bonus points if there's MaxScript command to set it up

Thanks!

Hi!

The Library Paths section of Forest Pack and RailClone's  Library Browser holds the location of the different libraries. The user can add manually their own libraries under File - Preferences ... Library Paths section and by Add... the path where the .xml files are stored. Or you can add them manually to the user’s registry:

Code: [Select]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Itoo Software\Forest Pack Pro\LibraryDir]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Itoo Software\RailClone Pro\LibraryDir]
Also, it could be defined globally in following system registry

Code: [Select]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Itoo Software\Forest Pack Pro\LibraryDir]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Itoo Software\RailClone Pro\LibraryDir]
One of our users has written a maxscript to add directories to the library automatically which you can find here, we haven't tested it but you may find it useful.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any further questions.

Many thanks!

Paul

Exaclty what I needed, thank you! I should have found that post with my searches but I guess I wasn't using the right terms.
