Hi,
I'm quite a newbi in C.O.F.F.E.E. programming, so please bare with me.
Currently I'm trying to modify render settings via C.O.F.F.E.E.
With the help of forum search, it was a breeze to get a hand on current active RenderData and modify it's basic settings. I also found a way to walk through the VideoPosts (thanks to ScottA). Now, I'd like to add a new VideoPost (like e.g. Global Illumination) to current RenderData. Perhaps I should stress, I don't want to create a VideoPost of my own (which, if I understood another poster correctly, is not possible with C.O.F.F.E.E.).
With ScottA's code I got this far:
var rd = doc->GetFirstRenderData();
var post = rd->GetFirstVideoPost();
while (post != NULL) {
if(post->GetType() == VPglobalillumination) {
println("VP GI");
}
post = post->GetNext();
}

Searching all the headers within the resource directory, I also tried some of the following, but still I'm not able to get a hold on a new BaseVideoPost instance:
var vp = new(BaseVideoPost);
or
var vp = VpAlloc(VPglobalillumination);

Anybody any hint, where to search for information on this?

Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Thanks for the quick reply.
Obviously I'll have to switch over to C++ then...

Have a nice vacation,
