Converting 3D Studio Max 8 scripts to 2011

I've inherited some older 3DS maxscripts for exporting 开发者_如何学运维in 3D StudioMax 8. We'd like to leverage these scripts to be used in 3D StudioMax 2011, but have been unsuccessful. Is there a way to quickly convert or will this require some engineering?

It would require engineering. You would have to rewrite \ update the non working parts of your scripts unfortunately.

Your scripts must be using features of 3ds Max 8 that are no longer available in 3ds Max 2011? Havok/Reactor comes to my mind as an example. If that's the case then it is going to be tough to convert them. Otherwise MAXscript has been very stable over many releases, so a lot of really old code works without problems in new releases.

Actually most of the time maxscripts wouldn't require to be changed between different versions of Max.
