Unfortunately, differently from std lib where it's possible to define and init a vector pretty easily using one-line statement( std::vector<int> a (10, 100);) this looks like being not currently possible with maxon::BaseArray() and you need to make it the usual way. Best, R

@zipit My sincerest gratitude for your help. Not only did you get my project unblocked, but you answered my follow-up questions. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you!

@zipit Absolutely incredible work! So elegant! Thank you very much @m_adam Thank you for the reply and confirmation!

@Cairyn @zipit @m_magalhaes Thanks for the detailed response. After installing the C++ environments, it works as expected. Sorry new to this. As I only have python to reference for. I also managed to build the plug-ins using this guide: https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/10967/compiling-the-cinema-4d-r20-c-sdk-examples

I have replied your post at C4DCafe. "The c4d.documents.LoadDocument returns you a BaseDocument, which you then need as argument for the InsertBaseDocument and SetActiveDocument."

@trideshnik said in How to decompile cdl64 file?: Hmm.. so.. Comrades, before getting the necessary information, I was told 100500+ times about copyright. Everyone saw fit to indicate this. Dear, do you think that the person asking this question needs a triple copyright notice? If you do not want to answer or help, no one is forcing you, but making idiots out of people is bad form. I got a ton of off-topic information. reasoning, warnings. and only a fraction of the information I need. so nice. but. Thanks to those who indicated the direction in which to dig. P.S. it seems to me that this is such a lifestyle. okay) khkhgxghzhuxvvldqkdfnhuv This answer is considered irrespecutful and contradicts the collaboration spirit of the forum. User banned.

Hi @Danchyg1337, thanks for reaching out to us. The approach you've pointed out can work to activate a ToolData with a specific preset. You've to register a CommanData for every preset you'd like your ToolData to use and, if needed, you can register your ToolData passing the PLUGINFLAG_HIDEPLUGINMENU to avoid that the generic ToolData appears among the menus. Best, Riccardo

@m_magalhaes said in Support of Scene Nodes development: @iluxa7k said in Support of Scene Nodes development: Several suggestions at c4d cafe forums, if will be time to read them Do you have any link for us ? I know that a couple of Maxon guys are already looking closely to that forum (and others) https://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/forums/forum/289-scene-nodes-workflows-discussion/ https://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/forums/topic/111961-nodes-road-map/?&page=5#comments https://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/forums/topic/111939-maxon-announces-cinema-4d-r23-overview-discussion/?page=22&tab=comments#comment-721276

Hi @x_nerve the ID used is not the correct one you should use: 431000021 for edge mode and 431000030 for point mode, unfortunately, there are no symbols for these tools. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi: After a trial run, the script was tested successfully. By setting the name suffix of Python Tag, the problem of repeated running of Tag can be solved. Taking c4d.DIRTYFLAGS_SELECT as an example, if the point, line, and surface selections change, it will execute, otherwise it won't. The Python script code is as follows: import c4d #e-mail: [email protected] def main(): Name = op.GetName() Objects = op.GetObject() Changed = Objects.GetDirty(c4d.DIRTYFLAGS_SELECT) Text = ["xit" + str(Changed)[-1]] if str(Name).count(Text[0][:-1]) != 0 : if str(Name).find(Text[0][:-1]) != str(Name).rfind(Text[0][:-1]) : if str(Name)[str(Name).rfind(Text[0][:-1]):] == Text[0] : if str(Name).find(Text[0][:-1]) <= 0: #Do not execute, exit the program. print ("Does not perform.") op.SetName(str(Text[0])) return else: #Do not execute, exit the program. op.SetName(str(Name)[:str(Name).find(Text[0][:-1])] + str(Text[0])) print ("Does not perform.") return else: if str(Name).find(Text[0][:-1]) <= 0: op.SetName(str(Text[0])) print ("Perform.") else: op.SetName(str(Name)[:str(Name).find(Text[0][:-1])] + str(Text[0])) print ("Perform.") else: if str(Name)[str(Name).rfind(Text[0][:-1]):] == Text[0] : #Do not execute, exit the program. print ("Does not perform.") return else: op.SetName(str(Name)[:str(Name).find(Text[0][:-1])] + str(Text[0])) print ("Perform.") else: print ("Perform.") op.SetName(str(Name) + str(Text[0])) print ("pass") #The next thing to execute.

Hi @bentraje as you already figured out in the documentation for R21+ this is necessary because each version (c4dpy, CommandLine, TRS, TRC) now have their own preference folder and doesn't share anymore the one from c4d. Cheers, Maxime.

ok tx... It seems the old c4dtools were integrated into c4ddev sadly c4ddev is nothing for the occasional c4d python hacker .-) the "beginners guides" are on "todo" for years, now and probably wont get completed anymore. it does not look like Niklas is still engaged in the c4d world.

@zipit Thanks!

Hi: This is a bit of a hassle, but can still be scripted, who CARES about an extra polygon. import c4d def main(): polygons = op.GetAllPolygons() points = op.GetAllPoints() point = [c4d.Vector(10000, 10000, 10000),c4d.Vector(9999, 10000,10000), c4d.Vector(9999, 10000, 10001),c4d.Vector(10000, 10000, 10001)] point_indexe = [[len(points) + i ,point[i]] for i in range(len(point))] op.ResizeObject(len(points) + len(point),len(polygons) + 1) set_point = [op.SetPoint(k[0], k[1]) for k in point_indexe] op.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE) c4d.EventAdd() if __name__=='__main__': main()

Hi Fernando, feel free to have the developer writing directly to our sdk support email box. Best, R

Wow, very nice! There's a huge progress, it now works pretty fast. Thanks for adding the wishlist items.

Grand merci pour ce Plugin tellement simple et facile d'utilisation. Grand merci... Many thanks for this Plugin so simple and easy to use. Big thanks

The issue is fixed by the way.

Hi, here in Cinema 4D S22 defining the type of the cloner I don't have anymore an issue import c4d from c4d import gui import math def main(): # Build Parent Cloner cloner = c4d.BaseObject(1018544) cloner[c4d.ID_MG_MOTIONGENERATOR_MODE] = c4d.ID_MG_MOTIONGENERATOR_MODE_LINEAR doc.InsertObject(cloner) # Build Null newnull = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Onull) newnull.InsertUnder(cloner) # Build Children Cloner internal_cloner = c4d.BaseObject(1018544) internal_cloner[c4d.ID_MG_MOTIONGENERATOR_MODE] = c4d.ID_MG_MOTIONGENERATOR_MODE_GRIDARRAY internal_cloner.InsertUnder(newnull) internal_cloner.Message(c4d.MSG_MENUPREPARE, doc) # Cube cube = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Ocube) internal_cloner.Message(c4d.MSG_MENUPREPARE, doc) cube.InsertUnder(internal_cloner) # Xpresso Tag xtag = c4d.BaseTag(c4d.Texpresso) cloner.InsertTag(xtag) # Setup Parent Cloner cloner[c4d.MG_LINEAR_OBJECT_POSITION, c4d.VECTOR_Y] = 0.0 cloner[c4d.MG_LINEAR_OBJECT_POSITION, c4d.VECTOR_Z] = 500.0 cloner[c4d.MG_LINEAR_COUNT] = 10 cloner[c4d.MGCLONER_VOLUMEINSTANCES_MODE] = c4d.MGCLONER_VOLUMEINSTANCES_MODE_RENDERINSTANCE # Setup Children Cloner internal_cloner[c4d.MG_GRID_SIZE] = c4d.Vector(300, 200, 100) # Setup Cube cube[c4d.PRIM_CUBE_LEN] = c4d.Vector(20, 10, 100) # Setup Xpresso # http://mograph.net/board/index.php?/topic/26338-creating-xpresso-nodes-with-python-script/ nodemaster = xtag.GetNodeMaster() node1 = nodemaster.CreateNode(nodemaster.GetRoot(), c4d.ID_OPERATOR_OBJECT, None, 100, 100) node1[c4d.GV_OBJECT_OBJECT_ID] = internal_cloner gridResParam = c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.MG_GRID_RESOLUTION, c4d.DTYPE_VECTOR,0), c4d.DescLevel(c4d.VECTOR_Z, c4d.DTYPE_REAL,0)) node1out = node1.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_OUTPUT, gridResParam) node2 = nodemaster.CreateNode(nodemaster.GetRoot(), c4d.ID_OPERATOR_OBJECT, None, 300, 100) node2[c4d.GV_OBJECT_OBJECT_ID] = cloner posParam = c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.MG_LINEAR_OBJECT_POSITION, c4d.DTYPE_VECTOR,0), c4d.DescLevel(c4d.VECTOR_Z, c4d.DTYPE_REAL,0)) node2in = node2.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_INPUT, posParam) # Connect if node1out is not None and node2in is not None: node1out.Connect(node2in) c4d.EventAdd() # refreshed viewport to see changes automatically if __name__=='__main__': main() And as pointed by @PluginStudent the problem was because the AddPort fails. And I guess it failed because at the time you ask for the port creation since no explicit mode was defined in the Cloner the XPresso description was not properly fed so this GvPort didn't exist. Cheers, Maxime.
