GMax Problem - No mltgen.dlt

[sterrett]

If, like me, you leave GMax untouched for a while, or reinstall it, you may find that you can't open it any more.

The message you get is:

mltgen.dlt missing

I trawled and trawled the internet. I uninstalled GMax and Trainz Assets Creation Studio and reinstalled them. I had no success, despite re-installing GMax to a different directory and even a different hard drive!

I searched for this mltgen.dlt and found it residing in the GMax/stdplugs directory, so GMax was telling fibs - the "missing file" was there all along!

Reading an article on 3ds Studio Max, the problem was identified as a corrupted *.ini file.

So, I deleted gmax.ini from the main GMax directory and the two *.ini files from Trainz Assets Creation Studio.

Eureka! When I fired up GMax again, it rebuilt the *.ini files and I was straight in! So, if you get this missing mltgen.dlt file you'll know what to do!

Thanks for sharing your (hard earned) experience. You never know when you might need that tip.
