Understood.

Changed my date and could acess again. Still, update ?

Thank you for the swift reply though

Hi everyone,
has any tried to send keypress events to the commandline.exe of cinema4d that is currently executing a python script and waiting for them in a UI-Dialog?

So, yes, i can reproduce it.. and the error is pretty embarassing, though not obvious.. First the scenetree error is not related to this. At all. It was thus:
I checked ahead of time wether the path to export to exists. For this i used makedir.. and foolishly the whole filePath.
The result was the seeming fail to create a fbx. The reason being that the mkdir seems to create some horrible directory thing:
That is killed it seems, but not fast enough for the fbx exporter to bump into it.

In summary it works: If you do not throw a wrench into it via python file system. Its hard to debug though, as there is no indicator, but a flickering /fbx/ folder that appears for a moment.

So it turns out i somehow destroyed my cinema4d Install using the python API. I reinstalled it and added all plugins. And it worked.
'''
for i in range(1,1000)
c4d.CallCommand(myPluginID + i)
'''
For reverse engineering is considered harmful.

Hi, im running the fbx-export plugin from within cinema4d r21 and run into a bug.

documents.SaveDocument(doc, c4dPath, c4d.SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_DONTADDTORECENTLIST, c4d.FORMAT_C4DEXPORT)

saved_document =  documents.SaveDocument(doc, filePath, c4d.SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_DONTADDTORECENTLIST, FBX_EXPORTER_ID)

While it works fine manually using my chosen settings, it throws a critical error while called from the commandline.

CRITICAL: Stop [exporttree.cpp(1908)]

The parameters are identical.

# Define the settings
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_FBX_VERSION] = c4d.FBX_EXPORTVERSION_7_4_0
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_FLIP_Z_AXIS] = False
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_UP_AXIS] = c4d.FBXEXPORT_UP_AXIS_Y 
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_ASCII] = False
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_CLONE_OBJECTS] = True
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_LIGHTS] = True
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_SPLINES] = False
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_TRACKS] = True
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_INSTANCES] = True
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_SUBSTANCES] = False
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_SAVE_NORMALS] = True
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_EMBED_TEXTURES] = True
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_TEXTURES] = True
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_CAMERAS] = False
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_SDS] = True
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_SDS_SUBDIVISION] = True
			fbxExport[c4d.FBXEXPORT_SELECTION_ONLY] = False

The file is identical.
Ive searched online for the error, but i couldnt find a solution. Do you have a github repo were one could join the organization and look further into it?
Im sorry for any typos, i have a deadline on friday and a regression.

Have a nice evening you all.

Has anyone solved this in python && Commandline.exe? I dont wanna go to AutoIt and full gui..

So i have a plugin we bought, thats doing what its supossed to do, but once i call the menue with my python script, i lack the ability to apply it. I tried threading, but cinema4d is (wisely) on the side of us devs threading lightly.

def main():
    c4d.CallCommand(CORONA_TO_CV4DMATERIAL_CONVERT)  
    doc = documents.GetActiveDocument()    
    
    ackThread = threading.Thread(target=acknowledgeThread)
    ackThread.start()
    time.sleep(5)
    tool = c4d.plugins.FindPlugin(CORONA_TO_CV4DMATERIAL_CONVERT) # Search Transfer Tool instance
    c4d.CallButton(tool, c4d.MDATA_APPLY)
    c4d.EventAdd()            
    c4d.WriteConsole("acknowledged\n")

PS: Usually there is a header file with menue options listed that can be called as commands. My first attempt was to itterate from the plugins command nr upwards in a for loop until i found another plugin. No changes were applied.

Finally, i tried to de-obfuscate the python bytecode, to repair the plugin, but failed due to lazyness. (Its identifying header + barrelshift & XOR?)
