finally i found it in the init function i used SetFloat... and that caused the problem when trying GetVector

this part is solved, thanks for pointing me towards the right direction

thank you both for getting back. i'll double check again if the ID has been used before. however i am totally lost with this upgrading. since the plugin worked flawless in previous versions and after getting it to compile with r20 it crashes so often.

thank you. i got this working. maybe there are even other places in my code where i can use this knowledge

@r_gigante said in debugging question:

what does it mean when the debugger holds at a line like that,
Vector rndoffset = bc->GetVector(RNDOFFSET);
with a message "CINEMA 4D.exe hat einen Haltepunkt ausgelöst."

it simply means that the bc pointer is likely to be invalid.

according to this problem, the pointer must be valid, i am checking it like

	if (!bc) return nullptr;

and if i run the plugin without debugging that one works. additional information, the line before that one throwing the exeption is:

	Float lightSpeedFactor = bc->GetFloat(LIGHTSPEEDFACTOR);

so, if bc wasn't valid, that one should give the same exception, right?
so far, i replaced it by

	Vector rndoffset = Vector(0);// bc->GetVector(RNDOFFSET);

and the whole plugin works. this is really strange

thank you Riccardo, i must admit that i just followed the adjustments needed to make it compile under r20. the code worked like that in previous versions and the plugin itself is quite old so i didn't question the code itself.

maybe it is time to do so and walk thru every line

is it possible to change the listed name somehow? i accidentally typed a wrong number in the label

thank you.

as i am currently walking thru the millions of warnings i get, what shall i think of such a warning?

The function GetDDescription has 803 lines, this exceeds the limit of 500 lines.

edit: this now appears for a bunch of functions i use in the plugin. does it mean the compiler isn't checking the rest of the lines? isn't it set a bit to low?

is there a way to apply the style guide automatically in VS2015?

what does it mean when the debugger holds at a line like that,

Vector rndoffset = bc->GetVector(RNDOFFSET);

with a message "CINEMA 4D.exe hat einen Haltepunkt ausgelöst."

hm, in the sdk help it is mentioned under "api change list in r20"... scrolling down to lib_description.h

i installed VS2015 just for seeing if it works better with c4d. however, in 2017 i had a nice built output where i could sort errors and warnings. this isn't there in the 2015 version, or do i need to toggle it somewhere. cannot find

nevermind, found it

thank you. seems not working in VS2017 but i found an option for the warning level in the properties

and btw, it seems to be a general problem with all parts of the plugin, cinema is not crashing with most of them, but the debugger halts everytime

@s_bach thank you very much for pointing me to that. however, i tried adopting that to a function retrieveing the vertex normals and now i don't know how to properly return those normals.

Vector *GetVertexNormals(PolygonObject *pObj)
{
	Int32 numVerts = pObj->GetPointCount();
	Int32 numPolys = pObj->GetPolygonCount();
	const Vector *pVerts = pObj->GetPointR();
	const CPolygon *pPolys = pObj->GetPolygonR();

	// initialize neighbor class... this is used to compute m_SrcvNorms
	Neighbor neighbor;
	if( !neighbor.Init(numVerts, pPolys, numPolys, NULL) )
		return NULL;

	//** those two lines worked in the old version **//
	//Vector *pNormals = (Vector *)NewMemClear(UChar,numVerts * sizeof(Vector));
	//if( !pNormals )     return NULL;

	//** these are my adoption to basearray **//
	maxon::BaseArray<Vector> pNormals;
	if(pNormals.GetCount()<=0) return NULL;

	// Determine a Normal for each vertex of mesh
	Int32 i, j, faceCnt, *pFaces = NULL;
	Vector vNorm;
	for(i=0; i<numVerts; i++)
	{
		vNorm = Vector();          // (re)intitialize 
		neighbor.GetPointPolys(i, &pFaces, &faceCnt);
		if( faceCnt )
		{
			for(j=0; j<faceCnt; j++)
			{
				Vector n = CalcFaceNormal(pVerts, pPolys[pFaces[j]]);
				vNorm += !n;
			}
			vNorm /= faceCnt;          // average the normal(s)
			pNormals[i] = !vNorm;     // normalize and store
		}
		else
			pNormals[i] = Vector(0.0,1.0,0.0);     // default case = Up for any stray verts
	}
	return pNormals;
}

@s_bach thank you. i still am on my road... at least it solves the compiler error. i get quite some crashes after updating. guess this will take some time

thanks for looking into it

edit: still happens

hm, it leads me to a line:

	op->TouchDependenceList();
->	return main;

what api changes could i refer to? since the plugin worked well before adopting to r20.

what does it tell me when debugging halts at the following code, what should be my steps to find the evildoer:

void BaseObject::TouchDependenceList(void)
{
	C4DOS.Bo->TouchDependenceList(this);
}

Bool VPBuffer::GetLine(Int32 x, Int32 y, Int32 cnt, void* data, Int32 bitdepth, Bool dithering) const
{
	return C4DOS.Sh->VPGetLine(this, x, y, cnt, data, bitdepth, dithering);
}

maybe someone can point me towards how i debug with visual studio 2017?
because i get lot's of crashes what else to expect

ok, found this: [URL-REMOVED]

edit: visual studio now throws this at me

application_Intel_64bit.pdb not loaded

the only search result leads me here: https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/8139 but i dont understand how the information i find there helps me

[URL-REMOVED] @maxon: This section contained a non-resolving link which has been removed.

@rsodre so it is wrong way? my code seems to compile now
