Re: YafaRay4tS version 0.7.5
After a lot of experimenting I decided that the best option was to install the standard alone workspace
version of truespace. Then install the update YafaRay to that version and leave my existing
full version (model/workspace) version alone.
When I did that YafaRay version 0.7.5 is working correctly. If I want to work on an old version of
one of my YafaRay files I will just copy it to this standalone version and apply the update there to the
file.
One big improvement in v-0.7.5 is that you can apply materials to faces instead of being limited to the
whole object and it renders the face materials correctly, In v0.6.0 materials can only be applied to
objects and not faces. That one face alone make the update version much better in my opinon.
(I decided to stick with version YafaRay-0.1.1)

I installed YafaRay-0.1.2-Beta2.1, rendered some scenes, and did not have any problems.
Note: It is not necessary to check "Yafaray 0.1.2 xml format - beta" as Clinton added code just before it's release that checks for that version automaticaly.
Next test, I installed YafaRay-0.1.1 without unistalling YafaRay-0.1.2-Beta2.1, thinking that that might be the problem. I received errors as shown below.
I don't have the computer in front of me but I looked at some of the code yesterday and it first runs yafaray to get the version number and sets the check box based on that. I think it runs whatever version of yafaray was installed first. It might be using the windows registry to decide which version to run.trueBlue wrote: Next test, from the Add & Remove Programs I uninstalled both version above.
I installed YafaRay-0.1.1, I received errors as shown below.
Note: I am not 100% sure but I noticed the "Yafaray 0.1.2 xml format - beta" attribute being checked and unchecked.
@Clinton
Could that be the problem?
Looks like it would be easiest to just copy from that link. Should I put them in the announcement thread with the links to YafaRay and YafaRay4tS or should I start a new thread and place them there?trueBlue wrote:Looks like you converted these scenes to YafaRay4tS075

Would you mind posting these scenes here?
Would be a shame to lose all of your hard work should the abandoned yafaray4ts.org disappear someday!
I think I'll have some time to look at the errors too. Did the 2 versions of Yafaray install to the same location?

Re: YafaRay4tS version 0.7.5
Good news, I got YafaRay v 0.1.5 working at the same time as v 0.1.1
It required a code change because the new version ignores the mesh id for smoothing control.
It also requires a new registry entry. There is no standalone installer for 0.1.5 so no registry entry.
Previous versions had an entry that referred to "YafRay Team" and 0.1.5 is looking for "YafaRay Team". 2 different entries makes it possible to have 2 versions on one machine.

Re: YafaRay4tS version 0.7.5
PRE-RELEASE
Attached is a version of YafaRay4tS that works with the latest version of YafaRay, v0.1.5
It's called YafaRay4tSv076, but the 7.6 version isn't reflected anywhere else yet. This is a not yet fully tested pre-release.
Installation for use with Yafaray 0.1.5:
get the latest YafaRay from http://www.graphicall.org/megasoft78" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
unzip the file wherever you like
load and run the "Create reg file" script
fill in all the information
the registry file created is a text file with a ".reg" extension
the path for the plugins does not matter for truespace
find the ".reg" file and run it to add entries to the windows registry for YafaRay 0.1.5
it does not change the entries for v0.1.1 or v0.1.2beta
use the "Update Yafaray Scene" script to make a scene compatible with YafaRay 0.1.5
That's all. Using this method I have 32bit 0.1.2beta, 32bit 0.1.5 and 64bit 0.1.5 all installed at the same time and working.

Re: YafaRay4tS version 0.7.5
Thanks Clinton! Sofar so good with YafaRay015.
Need to add the path to the yafaray-xml.exe file in the YafaRay4tS/Setup panel.
C:\Program Files\YafaRay015\bin\yafaray-xml.exe
Then select the Save Settings button. Been testing your Caustic075 scene thus far.
Noticing sparkles in this version.
