I'm trying to run R13 with -nogui and have a plugin dynamically generate some C4D files at startup (and then shutdown).
The docs say to implement PluginMessage; check if the ID is equal to C4DPL_COMMANDLINEARGS and then use sys.argv.
However, when I tried to do that only an error is raised:
AttributeError
'module' object has no attribute 'argv'So... how do I access the command line arguments given to the executable? (This is on Windows, BTW.)

Are you sure you call argv on sys module and not on another?
Also, you may have an issue with Python on your computer because this should work. -

import c43, sys def PluginMessage(id, data) : if id == c4d.C4DPL_COMMANDLINEARGS: print sys.argv return True return False
That's more or less what the docs for R13 say to do to get the command line arguments. But no dice.
The box is a fresh Windows Server 2012 RTM English 64Bit. I didn't install Python (I thought that C4D brought its own).
So what am I doing wrong?

Sorry, I hand-typed that because the virtual machine didn't sync clipboards. It's actually c4d.
However, upgrading to the latest version of R13 (061) appears to have fixed things up.

Hi, I can confirm all versions after R13.061 have this fix included.
Cheers, Seb
