What was New in R15

In R15.057

• Fixes:

  • Full Control Mode in the Python Effector

  • c4d.documents.SaveDocument() is now consistent with the GUI behavior. See warning note in SceneSaverData.Save()

  • AttributeError with BitmapButtonCustomGui and NodeData.GetDEnabling()

  • The Link port of the XPresso Python node that could not be set to None

  • Source Protector overwriting .pype files

  • QuickTabCustomGui.SetTextColor() can now be called (was raising a parameter error)

• Python API changes:

  • New functions c4d.documents.GetAllAssets() and c4d.documents.SaveProject()

  • New naming FalloffDataData.useSpline and FalloffDataData.inverseNodeMat for deprecated FalloffDataData.usespline and FalloffDataData.inodemat

In R15.037

Important: Python Encryption

Warning

For R15 the Encryption pype of Python plugins is unfortunately deprecated. The new plugin suffix is called pypv.

The plugins developers have to re-encrypt their Python plugins for R15 and they can ship both *.pype (to support pre-R15 versions) and *.pypv (to support R15) files:

• If both encrypted files are present in the same directory no error will be output in R15

• If there is just the *.pype file there will be a message in the console that the plugin cannot be opened in R15
