Installing a state script from Proteopedia

1. Choose or make a page in Proteopedia where you will create your customized molecular scene. A good place to do this is in a Sandbox in your User namespace, such as "User:Your Name/Sandbox 1". Step by step instructions for creating and using such a Sandbox are available in Help:Sandboxes.

2. Create the customized molecular scene that you wish to show in MP by using the Scene Authoring Tools in Proteopedia. Save your scene so that it is displayed on the page where you are developing it. Introductory videos and extensive help are available to get you started with these easy-to-use tools.

   Proteopedia:Video_Guide which includes A Video on Adding Molecular Scenes. Help:Editing which includes How To Create A New Page Instructions for creating a molecular scene with Proteopedia's Scene Authoring Tools.

3. Save your scene without "zoom-out" and "transition". Don't worry if you have already saved your scene. You can save as many versions of each scene as you wish.

   1. Edit your page and Show the Scene Authoring Tools.

   2. Load your scene.

      1. 1. Click on the Save tab.
         2. Add to the description "No zoom-out, no transition".
         3. Set the scene to spin when it loads.
         4. Check show advanced options.
         5. Check both of the advanced options: skip the zoom-out and skip the transition.
         6. Save your scene, making sure to change the scene number in your wikitext to show this new version of the scene.
         7. Save the page and click the green link to display the scene. Fix any problems that you see.
