Bob, The load filter picking up the ESP charges rather than the Mulliken charges works quite well.
Jmol 12.1.10_dev, however, seems to bring with it a change in mep display. We're loading the cyclohexadienyl cation, and in 12.1.7, I could light it up red through blue (explained below) with: isosurface color range all resolution 6 solvent map mep translucent With the above script does not paint red through blue any longer. I actually like what the above code produces (blue through yellow), and understandably it took the ESP charges to make this point. It's a cation, and the above surface rendering code makes the EAS direction point we want to make, while at the same time declaring that it's a dang cation. BUT my partner in this project wants the surface painting to look "just like Spartan!" - all colors (roygb) over max min of the cation. The above Jmol code accomplished this in 12.1.7 - not so in 12.1.10_dev. I've also tried the following in 12.1.10_dev with no success: var x={*}.partialCharge.min;var y={*}.partialCharge.max;isosurface color range @x @y colorscheme "roygb" resolution 6 solvent map mep translucent var x={*}.partialCharge.min;var y={*}.partialCharge.max;isosurface color range all colorscheme "roygb" resolution 6 solvent map mep translucent var x={*}.partialCharge.min;var y={*}.partialCharge.max;isosurface color range @x @y colorscheme "roygb" resolution 6 solvent map mep translucent It gives the same chemically reasonable rendering - i.e. not "just like Spartan." Is there any way to still get the full color range affect in 12.1.10_dev?
