Hi.Im experiencing some strange issue.
I have a generator plugin that works fine so far.
But when i save a scene with it, and try to load the scene later, i always get that dialog stating my plugin is missing!Funny thing is that its there, bc when i dismiss the dialog, i can fo into plugin menu and insert my generator from there..
What am i doing wrong ?
Might be sth wrong in my init/Message/RegisterPlugin functions, so that the plugi gets loaded too late or sth ?thanks,

Hi, which methods do you overload? Did you implement ObjectData::Read() or ObjectData::Write() ?

thanks for your answer.
i overloaded these:
-------------------
Init
GetVirtualObjects
Message
Draw
DetectHandle
MoveHandle
CreateVirtualWindow
GetDDescriptioni did not implement read and write, bc i thought that's only neccessary when i want to store plugin settings that are not in the basecontainer (judging from the docs).
Also i thought read and write is only about the settings, but the dialog text says the whole plugin is missing (even though its ion the menu).
Here's the exact dialog text:
'Several plugins used in the scene are missing. Saving may cause loss of plugin data! ..'It kinda looks like the plugin is not there during the document loading phase, but later is ?
just an assumption though.. -

Hard to tell without any code. Can you post stripped down source code of your plugin that shows the problem?

sure, but what code part would you need ?
i dont know where the problem lies, everyrging is working well.
only when i load a scene, in which my generator was saved, it gives the message. -

Maybe you register the plugin too late. That might be the reason why you can create an object but which is not there on loading a scene. Are you sure you register the Plugin in PluginStart() and use the correct Priority?

yes i did it in plugin start, not sure though what you mean with priorities. Do i have to change sth in the PluginMessage() part ?
heres my complete main.cpp, which is based on the 9.6 sdk. My generator code is based on the atom.cpp example.

ok i tried sth out now:
in the init function of my generator plugin, i put 2 GePrint().
oen at the start and the other one at the end of the init function.
when i load a scene with my generator now, i see the first msg from the start of Init, then the error dialog pops up, and thats it.
no second message, which should state the successfull Init of my Generator..

Just for closure here, one shouldn't be checking for the existence of documents, objects, tags, materials, plugins, etc. in Init() as, during scene load, they may not have been created yet.
If you need to do so, check for MSG_MULTI_DOCUMENTIMPORTED in your overloaded Message() method.
