YafaRay Blend Material
bug - user choices erased when updating the material lists

new code for Populate Material List inside the YafaRay Blend node:

Code: Select all

// Execute 
// Called to execute the command 
function Execute(params)
{
	var MaterialList1 = params.ConValue('MaterialList1');
	var MaterialList2 = params.ConValue('MaterialList2');

	var oldMatListSel1 = MaterialList1.GetSelectedString();
	var oldMatListSel2 = MaterialList2.GetSelectedString();

	var newMaterialList1 = System.CreateDO("Common Data Package/String Enum Data");
	var newMaterialList2 = System.CreateDO("Common Data Package/String Enum Data");

	newMaterialList1.Clear();
	scene = Space.CurrentScene();
	bmc = scene + "/Blend Material Collection";

	if(!Node.Exists(bmc)) return;


	var numMaterials = Node.Value(bmc, "NumMaterials");

	for(var i=0;i<numMaterials;i++) {
		newMaterialList1.SetStringAt(i, "BlendMaterial" + (i+1)); 
		newMaterialList2.SetStringAt(i, "BlendMaterial" + (i+1));
	}

	//newMaterialList1.SetSelectedString("BlendMaterial" + (i-1));
	newMaterialList1.SetSelectedString(oldMatListSel1);

	Node.Value(System.ThisOwner(), "MaterialList1") = newMaterialList1;

	params.ConValue('MaterialList1') = newMaterialList1;


	//newMaterialList2.SetSelectedString("BlendMaterial" + (i));
	newMaterialList2.SetSelectedString(oldMatListSel2);

	Node.Value(System.ThisOwner(), "MaterialList2") = newMaterialList2;

	params.ConValue('MaterialList2') = newMaterialList2;

}

Oh Bummer
Wonder why it did not work.
Same old Status Line.

Just revert back to RC - 27
The installer had changes to the Status Line too.
I will delete RC 28

Too late, already spent the time fixing it and rc27 didn't have your setup buttons on the YafaRay4tS node.

To answer questions on the deleted post:

Thought about it and going to keep the Render to File default.

Spent over half hour trying to figure way to delete the "Yaf_render.cmd" file with no luck.

Got an idea from one of Marcel's material for the YafaRay Materials
Instead of switching the user interface he just selects the panel.
Please try and see if you like it.

...

Only seems to work for image maps. Procedural maps not working. Looks like these changes were in RC28 as well. Are you planning to spend more time on the materials? If not I'll revert to RC27 materials.

Edit: Hold on, looks like RC27 is bad too - checking...

Edit: Good news, it was my error. In Blender the Texture Mapping color defaults to a hot pink color so you see the results of procedurals by default. In truespace it got changed to white so it was invisible by default. Either that or it was never set to begin with.

Testing shows it looks like it keeps the material editor open? I'm not sure all you said was "try it" so I don't know what it's supposed to do.

I would be concerned that you may miss something with the changes to the Status Line. I went thorough every node and changed even the Clear Status lines. The Buttons for the Viewers would be easy to recreate.
Thanks for trying to fix deleting the "Yaf_render.cmd" file.

Yep, it stops the ME from switching. It seems to work better. Not 100% sure the same goes for the Blend Material Collection, but from what I can tell it seems to work the same as before.

The changes were simple as shown, I commented out your line and replaced with the node.Select/UnSelect
//UserInterface.OpenToolPanelViewEx2("" , "" ,owner + "/DiffuseCloud", 3,true,true);
Node.Select(owner + "/DiffuseCloud");Space.Unselect()

OK, will abandon RC28 completely.

YafaRay4tS node with non-blocking error messages based in html display. Based on RC27.
with fix for System.Trace("ExportXMLFnSet Error: XML_file does not exist!" + File);
