No more phoenixFD properties.

[jstrob]

Recently I noticed I had no more vray properties when right-clicking on a geometry, only phoenixfd. So installed the latest vray and phoenixfd nightlies and now it's the opposite, I don't see the phoenixFD properties only the vray ones. I just reinstalled PhoenixFD to make sure and it's still not there.

I use build 1512076523 2.2.5 nighlty (phoenixFD_adv_22050_max2016_vray_30_x64_26523) with vray_adv_33501_max2016_x64_26523 from yesterday

edit: I just noticed I can see the properties in the 3ds max object user defined properties box... is this normal?

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Yup, they are in the user props as well, we'll investigate what's up with the phoenix props though...

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Very interesting - the props work here with the same builds.. Do you have the phoenix maxscript functions? A_StartSim, A_GetT, etc..

[jstrob]

Sorry for late reply,

yes I have the funtions it seems. A_StartSim return this: A_StartSim()

I reainstalled everythin the other day but I still don't have the phoenixFD properties...I will try reinstalling again.

I just reainstalled vray and phoenix with latest nightlies and I didn't see the phoenixfd properties when right-clicking an object. I didn't see them in the user properties neither.

But I could go in customize user interface and add the Display phoenixFd properties command in the quad menu!

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Wow, good find! Is it okay now?

[jstrob]

Yes now everything is fine for me. Thanks Svetlin! It's just that the installer don't add the menu item in the right click quad menu anymore... But I had some trouble lately with my max menus. I think I installed too many beta plugins at the same time!

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Yup, many plugins might have had it messed up. In fact - it's the Phoenix dlr that adds the phoenix props to the right click menu on each startup, and it does that together with the maxscript functions, this is why I asked about them - if they are visible, then the menu must have been registered too, but something else prevented it from showing...

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Hey,

Since this happened to me too, I was able to experiment on it - my props in max 2016 were gone as well after my system crashed. For next week's nightlies there will be a change that won't allow the properties and particle export items to disappear like that

Cheers!

Cool! thanks Svetlin!
