Alright, that makes sense. So if the user wants to specify an icon, it would parse that in as well?
yes even icons will be distributed inside that one installemnt script.
I understand what you're trying to do, and I applaud you for it. It's not a simple thing. I've created exporters for renderers, and it's a massive pain; however I still believe it could be done with a shell script. Since Maya creates a few environment variables, you could use those to get the scripts directory. This also has the advantage of being executed without having Maya open. This is a big plus for studios, when patches are being pushed regularly. It eliminates version-conflicts.
Thanks, and i know its not simple, the fact that i'm just recently started exploring mel makes it even harder, I still need to explore alot of commands and probable are coding some things way to complicated due to its a new programming language for me. But due the fact that Python is availble also i know i can overcome things that MEL does not support directly. So in theory, anything is possible.
Like i said before in the OP, programming isn't the problem for me, learning the new language, its commands and rules is the only point that slows me down atm.
