afair yes, dont know the command but should be, unfortunately im not fluent in dos anymore;)
if max crashes it starts with the next entry when you start the clock again so yeah its got its flaws :P but thats why i put up the .ms so ppl can change it to their needs and improve on it if need be.
thx

nice script!
what happens though if max crashes?
would be cool to create a batch file, an external command prompt script, which starts max and starts the time, saves the info in a log file, and when max closes, or crashes, it records the time max is closed
would that be possible?

@JokerMartini: Not yet. but under construction! When it is ready, you will be the first to view it (and I hope you like it)!

oh, cool
if your using the registry to get the path make sure its the same in the latest 3 win versions ;)

I noticed in your post image at the top how you explain to change that line of code. You can make that line of code automatically default to everyones desktop. I'll fix it and send the updated file your way to check out.

Insanto, when I run your script I get a Runtime ErrorL Filestream cannot create:C:\Users\Insanto\Desktop\timetable.txt
Is it a MakeDir error or problem. I'll look into it and see what could intentionally be the problem. If I can figure it out I'll let you know. I'm using 3ds Max 2010.

How do you get this script. I downloaded your IN Tools and it was no where to be found in max after installing. How do we get a download of this script??
