VrayProxy Creator not working in 1.2/11.5

[JorgeArango]

The console says:

COFFEE ERROR!
(124) Syntax error
File: CreateVrayProxy.cof
Line: 60
Row: ~25

This plugin is OpenSource, so if anyone knows how to fix that, it would be much appreciated,

Line: 60
Row: ~25
what in it?

[JorgeArango]

This is line 60:

PrxObj#VRAYPROXY_LINK = ExpTag; // Link tag into object


This is the bloke of code where line 60 is:

//////////////
// Functions
Create_a_proxy(op, doc, parent, previous)
// Creates a VrayProxy of an object (just a single one!)
{
// 1. Create MeshExporter Tag
var ExpTag = AllocTag(VRAY_EXPORTERTAG_ID); // Create Vray MeshExporter Tag
doc->AddUndo(UNDO_TAG_NEW, ExpTag); // Add Undo
op->InsertTag(ExpTag); // Attach tag to original object

// 2. Create VrayProxy object
var PrxObj = AllocObject(VRAY_PROXYOBJECT_ID); // Create VrayProxy object
PrxObj#VRAYPROXY_LINK = ExpTag; // Link tag into object
PrxObj->SetName(op->GetName()); // Set name
doc->AddUndo(UNDO_OBJECT_NEW, PrxObj); // Add Undo
doc->InsertObject(PrxObj, parent, previous); // Insert proxy object into document
PrxObj->SetMg(op->GetMg()); // Apply original object's global maxtrix
PrxObj->Message(MSG_UPDATE); // Update Proxy object

// 3. Copy all Texture Tags from Original object to VrayProxy
var TexTag = op->GetFirstTag();
var LastTag = NULL;

// Iterate tags
while (TexTag) {
// If a Texture Tag is found
if (TexTag->GetType() == Ttexture) {
// Create new tag
var NewTexTag = AllocTag(Ttexture);

// Get all settings and links from found Texture tag
NewTexTag#TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL = TexTag#TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL;
NewTexTag#TEXTURETAG_RESTRICTION = TexTag#TEXTURETAG_RESTRICTION;
NewTexTag->SetContainer(TexTag->GetContainer());

// Attach new tag to VrayProxy object
doc->AddUndo(UNDO_TAG_NEW, NewTexTag); // Add Undo
PrxObj->InsertTag(NewTexTag, LastTag); // Attach tag to Proxy object
PrxObj->Message(MSG_UPDATE); // Update Proxy object
LastTag = NewTexTag; // Remember created tag (to maintain original tag order)
}

Hi.

Change Line 60 to PrxObj#VRAYPROXYGEN_LINK = ExpTag;

Change Line 26 from
const var VRAY_PROXYOBJECT_ID = 1021309;

to
const var VRAY_PROXYOBJECT_ID = 1023306;

Let me know if you have any poblems.

[stefan]

do you mean the plugin from jack?

or the vray one.

jacks plugin for 1.1 wont work in 1.2 i guess, this he needed to update as proxies changed, but you have a proxy generator in 1.2 itself...

best greetings
stefan

[JDP]

Hi, it works if you make those code changes.

Cheers.

[JorgeArango]

That fixed it!

What was wrong? The plugin was working great with 1.1/11.0

What changed between 11.0 and 11.5?


A big thank you!

[Tong]

proxy object ID seems ;-)

proxy from file and from tag was separated

[JDP]

The plugin ID changed for the VrmeshExporter object and also the ID for the tag link field changed, so the plugin couldn't create a VrmeshExporter object or link the VrmeshExporter tag.

Cheers.

[JorgeArango]

I see, thank you all.

Time to check the proxy generator in 1.2.

[belushy]

does this work for 11.5

and which file to edit with what software....

sorry

[JorgeArango]

Yes, it's working in 11.5 the file is CreateVrayProxy.cof

edit: I did it with TextWrangler for mac.


And proxy with Mac is now working great!

[JDP]

You can use notepad on Windows, or add a coffee expression tag to a null object and load the file in there. I'd turn off "use expressions" in the edit menu first just for safety.

Hi guys,

I am currently completely loaded with customer work, so probably I won't find the time to fix the ProxyCreator plugin. But since it's OpenSource, everybody's welcome to fix bugs and add improvements.

The code and explanations (in German) can be found in the C4D Wiki:
http://wiki.c4d-jack.de/wiki/VrayProxy_Creator_(Coffee-Plugin)

Maybe somebody of you can fix it there and add some explanations. If you fix the code, please copy it into a separate section of the article, so both versions (for Vray 1.1 and Vray 1.2) are available.

Thanks & cheers,
Jack

Hey Jack,

For us it is bad news but for you it is great news. Good to hear you have plenty of work in this economical bad weather.

Peace,
Rich_Art. :good:

[3dkobi]

Peace,
Kobi

attached

[3dkobi]

I think it works, but everytime hit "render" - cinema crash with no messege...
actually, it crashes because I have proxies in my scene....you know something about that Tong ?

Peace,
Kobi

[Tong]

some more info? file? something? i can only guess ;(

[3dkobi]

File attached

Windows XP64 C4d 10.506

it works with 1 or 2 proxeis, with the third - it crashes...

Peace,
Kobi

[3dkobi]

Did another check - It works for xfrog tree with 12 objects...

very strange

Peace,
Kobi

[JDP]

Crashes for me too in C4D R11.5. It seems the object named 3 is the one causing the problem.

[mort]

just select obj 3 ALL ploys and Triangulate them ;)
I had same problem here - the problem was not flat surface - build from a single poly
Cheers!

[3dkobi]

Thanks, I'll try that....

Should be fixed in later versions...

Peace,
Kobi

[bentreality]

do we still need the proxy generator in the actual version? (1.255)
and if yes...
where can i find the newest version?

[Tong]
