I'm trying to export custom animation for a sonic screwdriver rig I made a few days ago. However, no matter what method I use, I cannot find a workaround on why it will not allow me to open the animation exporter. I am using Maya 8.5 with the official Call of Duty mod tools Maya plugin and I get this error every time I try to export an animation.

// Error: Reference file: [E:/Games/Call of Duty - World at War/bin/maya/rigs/viewmodel/ViewModel_DefMesh.mb] needs to be under C:/. // 

I have World at War installed on my E: Drive and this issue has only popped up in the last week or so. I hadn't any problems with it beforehand. I've tried copying and pasting the rigs folder into my C: Drive in both

C:\Games\Call of Duty - World at War\bin\maya

C:\cod5\cod\cod5modtools\public\bin\maya

Neither have fixed the issue. I've restarted Maya countless times and I'm unsure what the issue is? Do I have to the mod tools installed on my C: Drive or anything? Anyone have any ideas?

just get maya 12, its free and the anim exporter is way easier and better looking  http://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/all


also it doesnt check where waw is located so its good no matter where u have ur stuff 

After downloading Maya 2012 and Aidan's plugin, it didn't give me that annoying error anymore I'd been holding off on updating Maya, mainly because of the large file size. Thanks man^
