hi,
i' am trying to create my first actual plugin. i have some minor experience with pyhton scripts and python xpresso nodes, so i am used to the SDK and the language itself. i am following the the python
example project Py-RoundedTube and the description files of c4d.olight.
i understood basicly the description system , but nevertheless i am pretty much stuck now. i cannot init the values properly which i set up in my description files. i have tried to use different ids, removed
description layout groups and more without any real success.
here is my project cropped to the relevant parts :

i formated it in this super safe way)

};
#endif
and there is also a Opolylight.str file of course.
when i execute the plugin the following things happen :
- the console throws AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SEENBYBYCAMERA'
- when i toggle comment SEENBYCAMERA and SEENBYREFRACTIONS the console doesn't throw any errors, but SOME initalized values aren't displayed correct. however they seem to be correct internally, because draging the values into the console returns the correct values.
- at this point - changing the id of LIGHT_COLOR from 1001 to 1000 will break the the correct init of the color. 1001 - color is white, 1000 color is black.
where is my mistake ? i could write much more, spent quite some time with this, but i think this
won't help aynone. i hope somone can enlighten me
cheers,
ferdinand
