Hi guys,

I'm trying to register a TagPlugin, but I just can't find the issue.
The following Code is for registering:

  
  @classmethod  
  def Register(cls, path) :  
      data    =   \  
      {     
          'id':           1000002,    # id for developing use  
          'str':          "Mesh Saver",  
          'info':         c4d.TAG_VISIBLE | c4d.TAG_EXPRESSION,  
          'description':  "Tmeshsaver",  
      }  
      icon            = None  
  
      RegisterTagPlugin(g = cls, icon = icon, **data)

C4D Tells me that the global ressource could not be initialised.

I have the following structure:

  
  Py-Mesh Saver\  
    Tmeshsaver.pyp  
    res\  
        c4d_symbols.h  
        description\  
            Tmeshsaver.h  
            Tmeshsaver.res  
        strings_us\  
            description\  
                Tmeshsaver.str

and these are my ressourcefiles:

  
########################################  
Tmeshsaver.h  
########################################  
  
#ifndef _TMESHSAVER_H_  
#define _TMESHSAVER_H_  
  
enum  
{  
  BTN_SAVEMESH        = 1000  
};  
#endif  
  
########################################  
Tmeshsaver.res  
########################################  
  
CONTAINER  
{  
  NAME        Tmeshsaver;  
  INCLUDE     Tbase;  
  
  GROUP       ID_TAGPROPERTIES  
  {  
      BUTTON      BTN_SAVEMESH    { }  
  }  
}  
########################################  
Tmeshsaver.str  
########################################  
  
STRINGTABLE Tmeshsaver  
{  
  Tmeshsaver      "Mesh Saver";  
  
  BTN_SAVEMESH    "Save Mesh";  
}

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks in advance !
Niklas

In the scope of the pyp file there is an object called __res__. You have to make the _res_ reference from the global scope available in the scope where you register your tag.

Unofrtunately, this doesn't solve the problem.
I also couldn't find this way in any of the example Plugins..

Better I provide the whole source.

Remove res=__res__, in this case its uncessary indeed. One of your folder is called string_us, but it must be strings_us. Thats why the resource structure for this plugin fails on build.

Perhaps I'm wrong.
But it looks like you're also missing the proper naming convention at the top of your .res file.

I believe it should read: CONTAINER Tmeshsaver

Oh my god, thanks Sebastian !
And Scott you are right too.

Much thanks to both of you :)
I really hate writing resource files .. There should be a reseditor for it
