I am a bit confused about the SDK example CommandLineRendering.
I compiled it ok, using R20, Windows 10 and VC++ 2017.
I can see that it is loaded / started.
Bool PluginStart()
{
GePrint("CommandLineRendering Start in PluginStart"_s);
return true;
}
But it looks as if it is not called.
It gets the parameters ok: Command line arguments : "-nogui" "-sdk_render" "cube.c4d"
But I get the message "Warning: Unknown arguments: -sdk_render"
So it seems as if CommandLineRendering() is not called.
Here the command I use to start.
"C:\Program Files\Maxon\CINEMA 4D R20.026\CINEMA 4D.exe" -nogui -sdk_render cube.c4d" > "C:\Program Files\Maxon\CINEMA 4D R20.026\plugins\CommandLineRendering\report.txt"
I did not change anything in CommandLineRendering()
Here main.cpp, that I changed a bit.
#include "main.h"
#include "c4d.h"
Bool PluginStart()
{
GePrint("CommandLineRendering Start in PluginStart"_s);
return true;
}
void PluginEnd()
{
//FreeGLTestObject();
//FreeExampleSNHook();
//FreePaintAdvanced();
}
Bool PluginMessage(Int32 id, void* data)
{
switch (id)
{
case C4DPL_INIT_SYS:
{
if (!g_resource.Init())
return false; // don't start plugin without resource
// register example datatype. This is happening at the earliest possible time
// if (!RegisterExampleDataType())
// return false;
// serial hook example; if used must be registered before PluginStart(), best in C4DPL_INIT_SYS
// if (!RegisterExampleSNHook()) return false;
return true;
}
case C4DMSG_PRIORITY:
// react to this message to set a plugin priority (to determine in which order plugins are initialized or loaded
// SetPluginPriority(data, mypriority);
return true;
case C4DPL_BUILDMENU:
// react to this message to dynamically enhance the menu
// EnhanceMainMenu();
break;
case C4DPL_COMMANDLINEARGS:
// sample implementation of command line rendering:
// CommandLineRendering((C4DPL_CommandLineArgs*)data);
// react to this message to react to command line arguments on startup
/*
{
C4DPL_CommandLineArgs *args = (C4DPL_CommandLineArgs*)data;
Int32 i;
for (i = 0; i<args->argc; i++)
{
if (!args->argv[i]) continue;
if (!strcmp(args->argv[i],"--help") || !strcmp(args->argv[i],"-help"))
{
// do not clear the entry so that other plugins can make their output!!!
ApplicationOutput("\x01-SDK is here :-)");
}
else if (!strcmp(args->argv[i],"-SDK"))
{
args->argv[i] = nullptr;
ApplicationOutput("\x01-SDK executed:-)");
}
else if (!strcmp(args->argv[i],"-plugincrash"))
{
args->argv[i] = nullptr;
*((Int32*)0) = 1234;
}
}
}
*/
break;
case C4DPL_EDITIMAGE:
/*{
C4DPL_EditImage *editimage = (C4DPL_EditImage*)data;
if (!data) break;
if (editimage->return_processed) break;
ApplicationOutput("C4DSDK - Edit Image Hook: "+editimage->imagefn->GetString());
// editimage->return_processed = true; if image was processed
}*/
return false;
}
return false;
}
The plugin, is it a real plugin(?), is also not registered?
