Download Save_’N_Zipĭownload the file and uncompress (it’s saved as a 7z archive so you’ll need to have 7z installed to open it) then put it wherevs and choose Edit>Edit Plug-ins in Layout, and hit the Add Plugins button. I’ve saved the plugin as a 7zip archive, so you’ll need it to decompress it anyway. 7-Zip is a free, open source and rather good compression application. If you’ve got it somewhere else you’ll have to edit the script (line 50 is where you need to change it).
#MIKE GREEN LIGHTWAVE 3D PLUGINS INSTALL#
To run it you need 7-zip on your machine, and it has to be at the default install location (c:\program files\7-zip\7z.exe). This means that the scene will always keep the same name, but if you want to backtrack it’s easy to find the version of the scene you need.Ĭompressing to a zip archive not only keeps your folders less cluttered, it’s good if you use a cloud-backup to save your scene files, as it dramatically cuts down on the storage and bandwidth needed-there’s a lot of redundancy in a lws file, so often a zip archive with a dozen copies of a scene file will be smaller than the original scene file itself. a copy of the scene called My_Awesome_Scene_1 _BUP_19-7-2016_13.04 56.lws will be added to the zip archive (given that you run it on the 19th of July 2016 at 1:04 56 pm).a new zip file called My_Awesome_Scene_1.If you’re working on My_Awesome_Scene_1.lws and you run the script: Update, I’ve also added a modeler version. Drawing on his open source (yay!) script I’ve changed it so that the incremental backup is timestamped and compressed into a zip file. Mike Green kindly provides a script that makes a numbered backup of your file, so that your current copy keeps the same name. Because of Lightwave’s rather broken undo system you need to save lots of incremental backups when you’re working on a scene.
