Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Maya 4.5
Simple Install
1.Extract the bonusGame45.zip file to your 4.5 user directory. For example:
c:\winnt\profiles\maya\USER_NAME\maya\4.5
2.2. Start Maya and enter the following MEL command:
bonusGameMenu;
- or -
To have the menu autoload everytime you start maya, copy the userSetup.mel file to your maya\4.0\scripts directory or add:
bonusGameMenu;
to your existing userSetup.mel file and start Maya.
Maya 5.0
1. Extract the bonusTools50 archive to the user's maya home directory:
Sample Linux/Irix path: /u/user_name/maya/5.0
2. Using a text editor, edit the bonusTools5.0 file from within the user's maya/5.0/modules directory. The bonusTools5.0 file has a sample line for each operating system and has this basic format:
+ bonusTools5.0 5.0 "absolute path to bonusTools5.0 directory"
For your operating system, uncomment the line that starts with + by removing the //. Replace the user_name from that line with the login name of the user. Save the file.
thats it!

that's easy...Originally posted by englar
hey thax a lot for your help, in my case is maya 5.0 but when i open the file with for exemple EditPlus i can't find the line that starts with + !
But thanks anyway
the original file looks like this:
in your case, Maya 5.0, you just need to edit the bold stuff out of this line:// edit this file for your o/s by removing the slashes (//)
// from in front of the line for your o/s
//
// the basic format is:
// + bonusTools5.0 5.0 "absolute path to bonusTools5.0 directory"
// sample windows path
//+ bonusTools5.0 5.0 C:\Documents and Settings\Maya\My Documents\maya\5.0\bonusTools5.0
// sample linux/irix path
//+ bonusTools5.0 5.0 /u/user_name/maya/5.0/bonusTools5.0
//+ bonusTools5.0 5.0 C:\Documents and Settings\Maya\My Documents\maya\5.0\bonusTools5.0
now, take the // completely off and then replace the maya with the the XP name that is running Maya... in my case, I have a separate account only for maya so that's why its' called Maya
that's it

Ok, this is what I did....
I downloaded the file for Windows from:
https://www.aliaswavefront.com/en/Com...5.0Windows.zip
Then in the zip file you should have total 534 files...
extract the files in: C:\Documents and Settings\Emo\My Documents\maya\5.0 <- Note that the Emo in the line is my username so yours will be different...
(dont forget to "Use Folder Names" when extracting from WinZip)
after you do that, go into that path, C:\Documents and Settings\Emo\My Documents\maya\5.0 and there should be a folder named bonusTools5.0. in it there will be 6 other folders. Go into the one that's named "modules" and there should be ONLY ONE file called bonusTools5.0 and that is the file you have to edit with notepad... after that just follow my instructions in the thread...
tell me if you dont get anything

Comand line does not work "cannot find procedure bonusGameMenue;" their is no usersetup.mel. I have activated the plug-in window using loaded/auto load, but the exrtra stuff still does not show up in the uv texture editor (have reloaded Maya several times).
Thanks!
