[Maya-Python] Re: remap reference paths on load
Thanks Robert !
I attach a simple callback to modify paths in case anyone finds it usefull.
However what I need to get is to have acces to reference node itself, as it
has metadata needed for propoer path update. Anyone ? :)
import os
import string
import maya.OpenMaya as om
import maya.cmds as mc
__all__ = ['mfFixPathsOnSave_Register']
def addFirstSlash(i_str):
if len(i_str) and i_str[0] == '/' and i_str[1] != '/':
return '/' + i_str
return i_str
def PrependWithEnvVar(i_path, envVarList):
for ev in envVarList:
if ev not in os.environ:
continue
v = os.environ[ev]
if i_path.find(v) == 0:
return i_path.replace(v, '${%s}' % ev)
return i_path
def mfFixPaths():
loop = [('file', 'ftn', True), ('mfMTexture', 'texture', True),
('readCachedDeform', 'cacheFile', True), ('readCachedDeform',
'cacheFileExpanded', False),
('pgYetiMaya', 'cacheFileName', False), ('pgYetiMaya',
'outputCacheFileName', False)
]
for _t, _a, _envUpd in loop:
nodes = mc.ls(type=_t)
for f in nodes:
_p = mc.getAttr(f + '.' + _a)
_fixed = addFirstSlash(_p)
if _envUpd:
_fixed = PrependWithEnvVar(_fixed, ['PRROOT', 'PRDATA'])
mc.setAttr(f + '.' + _a, _fixed, type='string')
def mf_MSceneMessage_AfterOpen_CB(*args, **kwargs):
try:
mfFixPaths()
except:
mc.warning("mf_MSceneMessage_AfterOpen_CB() failed on mfFixPaths")
def mf_MSceneMessage_BeforeLoadReferenceCheck_CB(retCode, fileObject,
clientData):
try:
_path = fileObject.rawFullName()
_path_fixed = addFirstSlash(_path)
_path_fixed = PrependWithEnvVar(_path_fixed, ['PRROOT', 'PRDATA'])
fileObject.setRawFullName( _path_fixed )
except:
mc.warning("mf_MSceneMessage_BeforeLoadReferenceCheck_CB() failed.")
om.MScriptUtil.setBool( retCode, True )
def mfFixPathsOnSave_Register():
print "Regisering MSceneMessage.kAfterOpen -->
mf_MSceneMessage_AfterOpen_CB"
om.MSceneMessage.addCallback(om.MSceneMessage.kAfterOpen,
lambda *args, **kwargs:
mf_MSceneMessage_AfterOpen_CB(args,
kwargs))
print "Regisering MSceneMessage.kBeforeLoadReferenceCheck -->
mf_MSceneMessage_BeforeLoadReferenceCheck_CB"
om.MSceneMessage.addCheckFileCallback(om.MSceneMessage.
kBeforeLoadReferenceCheck,
lambda retCode, fileObject,
clientData:
mf_MSceneMessage_BeforeLoadReferenceCheck_CB(retCode, fileObject, clientData
))
Enter code here...

[Maya-Python] Re: remap reference paths on load
I've done this at a past job, and sadly don't have the code in front of me
anymore.
But from what I remember you get a MFile object from the callback, and can
edit the paths in that file object, and they will be passed into the
created reference node after the callback is finished.

[Maya-Python] Re: remap reference paths on load
So, has anybody found a nice way to remap path to a referenced file based
on referenceNode attributes?
It seems referenceNode is not accessible inside kBeforeCreateReferenceCheck
callback

[Maya-Python] Re: remap reference paths on load
Thanks for the link, actually I had already bumped into that one. So let's recap the issue: if the file path does not lead to an existing file, the reference is not created. This behavior is the same with buildLoadSettings set to True in the cmds.file function. And when there is no reference node in the scene, you've lost all your data. Too late. Regarding the callbacks, only MSceneMessage.addCheckFileCallback, and MSceneMessage.addCheckCallback can be used, with the kBeforeCreateReferenceCheck enum. These callbacks will be triggered before reference creation. If you parse a .ma file, there are at least three lines regarding reference creation: 1/ file -rdi 1 -ns REF_NS -dr 1 -rfn REF_NAME /path/to/file.ma; 2/ file -r -ns REF_NS -dr 1 -rfn REF_NAME /path/to/file.ma; 3/ createNode reference -n REF_NAME; The first line does not trigger the remap path popup (abort... - skip - browse... buttons). The second one does. addCheckFileCallback and addCheckCallback are called just before 2/ is executed. If you want to monitor the reference node creation, this step is executed after the path check. It's the line 3/. You can have callbacks thanks to MDGMessage.addNodeAddedCallback, but it's useless for me. Among MSceneMessage.addCheckFileCallback and MSceneMessage.addCheckCallback, only addCheckFileCallback is relevant here because you can modify the MFileObject passed as argument of the callback (by reference). http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/API/class_m_scene_message.html#5e6feb8445b04b7277c0a425a613444f http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/API/class_m_message.html#c9d1a728216d6a9618052ad122710fa8 Note: Don't forget to set retCode to True with OpenMaya.MScriptUtil.setBool(retCode, True). The signature of setBool is bool but it seems to accept a bool* In my particular case, I need the reference node name (rfn) to be able to remap the bad path to an existing one. Unfortunately, I have not found a way to get this piece of info in a straightforward manner. I have tried to use the MCommandMessage.addCommandCallback in order to see which 2/ file -r -ns is executed, but the callback is called after the addCheckFileCallback. Of course, the 1/ file -rdi 1 -ns ... are executed before addCheckFileCallback, and I could assume that 2/ commands will be called in the same order than 1/. Another hack would be to directly parse the .ma file and build a list/dict for the list of 2/ command lines. Then, by incrementing an index for each addCheckFileCallback call, I could match the reference name with the corresponding path. The first solution proposed by Christian is clearly simpler, providing that the renaming process is not harmful. Unfortunately I can not overwrite the maya files. I think I'll go with a .ma parsing for 2/ lines building list of reference node name. -- http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya
