Here is a brief tutorial on how to setup mapy with Textpad.
Thanks Nicola Danese For providing the screenshots.
- Download and install latest version of mapy.
- Add your mapy installation folder to system path.
- Add this line to your userSetup.mel:
- commandPort -eo -n ":2255";
*Add this line at the end of userSetup.mel.
- Restart maya.
-
Follow the screenshots.
*Remember that if you want maya output, you should check "Capture output".
*In latest version of Texpad, There is an option named "Suppress output until completed".
If you have problems with maya's output, try to check this option on.
-
That's it. Now you can develop your MEL and Python scripts inside Textpad.
- Remember that you can use mapy with EVERY popular script editor.
- You can download MEL syntax highlighting file for TextPad here.
- For fast response, close your script editor in Maya.
