Script – PF Spliner v4.0.0
Redux…well I started writing my own version, that was pretty dumb…
JBond tweaked the original PF Spliner just for TP,
Well, I figured I do it for both
PF Spliner v4.0.0 with support for Thinking Particles 4.0+
Cycle Active PFlow Emission
Any long time Particle Flow user knows when you send particles immediately out of the first Event (ie a Spawn Test, Send Out, Age Test, ect.) PFlow likes to have a little tizzy. One quick way to refresh it is to use a quick maxscript to Cycle any active Particle Flow Source events Enables Emission State (the little Light Bulb in the Event header). Just Copy Paste to a new script and evaluate, it will give you the standard customize dialog option to add to a button, keyboard shortcut, quad menu, ect.
macroScript CycleActivePFlowEmission category:"JRandom" toolTip:"Cycle Active PFlow Emission" ( for o in objects where classOf o == PF_Source do if o.Enable_Particles == true then ( o.Enable_Particles = false o.Enable_Particles = true ) )
Script- BatchFBX
Simply import a folder full of .fbx object files to a scene with the option to give them their own file named layer and/or rename the object according to its filename.

Script – pFlow Control v1
Hopefully a useful script to easily manage some common Particle Flow parameters.
Script – CSV2Keys
I found this little script Bobo had written in a forum post a few years ago, did a few tweaks to it. Added an interface, a scale multiplier, and the option to set the time to match the current frame rate or a specified framerate.
What does it do? It takes a comma separated value file (.csv) and imports the data to a dummy object (a point helper in the case) and creates a keyframe at the time (close to the time anyway) and position indicated in the file.
Note: the .csv file needs to be generated in the form of – time, X, Y, Z

It is a macro so run it and go to the Customize->Customize User interface dialog, and it is under the Fume&Flow category, create a shortcut to open it.
Script – Face To Elements
A quick simple script to convert the faces of a Editable Poly object to separate sub-object elements.

Added a couple of TP related buttons
To the Fume & Flow Floater. The layout is a little cheap, I didn’t really want to try an add another rollout right now, I may do it later, but anyways…

The Thinking Particles additions are:
TP – Create mode for a TP node
TP Prop – Opens the selected TP Properties View
Bind to TP – Select a TP node hit the button, a “Select By Name” dialog opens with all scene spacewarps, select all of the spacewarps you want to bind, and click bind.
TP Help Reference - (assuming it is in your local settings – all users folder) You can change the location by changing line 493 in the file “FumeFlowFloater_MiniTP_17.ms” to the location of your help file.

Script – Particle Flow Display Utility
A small script to eleviate jumping from display operator to display
operator in particle view to change thedisplay color and type.
It allows you to set the color and display type of all or selected Pflow display nodes that are listed in the listboxes.
