Livelink from Corona to vantage crashes hard!

[simon_finger]

I am currently running the 'trial' version of vantage. Weighing up the benefits of vantage over other realtime options (eg: D5 and unreal).
I would dearly like to love vantage, and theoretically run all of my software and libraries seamlessly within the 'chaos ecosystem'....but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to start the live link from corona without it crashing. I have tried 3 separate files. I can export the file to work independently, but live link simply will not work.

I am running
3dsmax 2025
vantage 2.6.2
Corona 12 Update 1

FYI. I just deleted 'floorgen' from one of the scenes and i retried the live link. It worked. So obviously there are a list of incompatible plugins I need to remove.

If I understand correctly Vantage crashed, not Corona (Max)? Did it show a message about writing a dump file in %TEMP%? If there is a Vantage_b***_p***.dmp file with matching timestamp from this crash, please share it. The log file from Vantage can also be useful but it gets overwritten with each session so you have to save it right after the crash. The path is: %APPDATA%/Chaos/Vantage/debug_log.txt

Thanks for the response npg
When i was trying to export the scene (with a floorgen object) it was actually 3dsmax that crashed BEFORE vantage has a chance to open.
However when i deleted floorgen, the file exported without any issues.

In this case the bug is in this floorgen plugin... or Corona... or 3dsmax... (they all reside in the 3dsmax.exe process and each component could crash it)

What's the FloorGen app?

[simon_finger]

Luma3d ... floorgen is just a 3d 'floorboard / tile generator' in 3dsmax. Obviously it is not liked by vantage.

[Luma3d]

I use floor generator from cg source and it works fine with Vantage. Not sure if it's the same one you are referring to.

[simon_finger]

The very same. Perhaps in this one example it triggered it to crash. Good to know. Thankyou
