Vantage 2.0 3ds Max 2016 live link problem

[npg]

Could you open the maxscript listener before attempting to start live link and post what it outputs?

I have a suspicion what got broken. In the file C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\Vantage\dcc_scripts\3dsMax\Vantage-LiveLink.ms on line 146 (as of the latest version, 2.0) we have "if VRayVantage_pingVantage() then" which should be "if VRayVantage_pingVantage() == 200 then" instead. You could try editing the file and see if this fixes it.

It seems maxscript syntax was changed with Max 2018 so it works with newer Max versions:

"BooleanClass Comparison: BooleanClass values can now be compared to Integer values, with 0 equivalent to false and all other values equivalent to true."

It is currently working fine, but it is converting to Brute Force (probably because it is an old version of V-Ray). I encountered a new problem; when I add V-Ray Light, 3ds Max 2016 crashes this time.

Reinstalled V-Ray and everythings working perfect! Thanks so much Chaos!

Ups! something new;

Apparently iconName was added with maxscript 2017 ( https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAXDE...5-493A9546DF04 ). Try removing the iconName part of the script.

If it works, make sure to make a copy of the working script because Vantage updates will overwrite the file.
