Any chance you can take a look at the Yafaray Scripts and change how YafaRay4tS switches from VRay?

In UU8 Standalone, when you open a new 3D Window, what does the Ground/Grid object look like in the Stack?
Also check the original tS761Std, if you can please

Here is the latest Hierarchy scripts. I won't be making an installer until after I test it with the new web ui and new rsx plugin.

So do I need the new web ui and new rsx plugin?

I have made a simple change to all 4 Encapsulation scripts and the UI
1) Will not encaps on single select object
2) Status message no longer runs when encaps does not execute
3) Add modal question to 2D Encaps:
WARNING!
2D Unencapsulate will extract all internal objects!
Are you sure you want to continue?

ToDo:

In your opinion, why allow a single selected object to be encapsulated?
Or tell me an example why it would be beneficial
For me, I just see the potential for an overly complicated Hierarchy

Is there a way to not run the status message if there is no encapsulation?

I would like to include your 3D Icon Maker in the UU9 Postprocess library, if that is okay with you
Lots of changes and additions were made
Removed all of the YafaRay4tS scripts and OptDetector plugin check
Removed Workspace Layers 3
Added an incorporated a Toolbar and ToolbarButton for saving the button to a Library
I think I have eliminated most Postprocess errors when there is no Active 3D View or Filename
I do not understand the Animation code, so left it as is
I have it setup to render to the Image Folder verses the Animation Folder included in the UU9

Tested on not beta tS.
It's hard coded to save to C:\trueSpace761Std\Image Folder, so it needs adjusting for the different tS versions
Other than that it seems to work.
It's using the old version of the TruePause.
It saves the render to file Sequence and Animation values so they can be restored at the end.

trueBlue wrote: 15 Oct 2022, 17:40 ...
Thanks for looking at it
I will replace the truePause scripts
This a UU9 standalone version only
The reason I say that, is because there is no OptDetector plugin check, and the Image Folder and Animation Folder are not included in the original tS761 versions
I do not think I changed the hard coded path, if there is one
What I noticed though in the beginning, before making changes, is it was rendering in tS761 full version (Animation Folder) from tS761 UU9 standalone version
There are several requirements:
Clintons3dPlugin
OptDetectors
RsD3DBloomFilter 'GLOW'

Also noticed an issue with the IconFile script //util.FileSaveAsDialog2
If you select Cancel, it removes the file path from the Icon Maker UI

	if(file) {
		Node.Value(System.ThisOwner(), "IconFilename") = file;

		var shortname = fso.GetFileName(file);

		params.ConValue("IconFileShort") = shortname;

Tricky one.
The problem is it is reading the string values "0" and "1" from the file which translate to 48 and 49, not 0 and 1. So they were both true. On top of that tS only allows one of the 2 to be true, so both were set as true in the file then tS decided which one would be false when you open the render to file dialog.
Change lines 46 and 47 to do the translation from string to boolean values.

Code: Select all

	params.ConValue("Sequence") = (S=="1");
	params.ConValue("Animation") = (A=="1");

Also don't forget to reconnect the Sequence connectors.

	var height_re = /HEIGHT="[\d]+"/;  // Line 46
	var width_re = /WIDTH="[\d]+"/;    // Line 47
//	var sequence_re = /SAVEINSEQUENCE="[\d]+"/;
params.ConValue("Sequence") = (S=="1");
//	var animation_re = /SAVEINANIMATION="[\d]+"/;
params.ConValue("Animation") = (A=="1");

The fact that it's undoable makes it less necessary. I tried flatten on camera and light and it didn't seem to do anything, so maybe those 2 checks aren't needed.
