error enabling vb30

[crax]

hi

i try to enable vb30 which is downloaded from github and put in addon folder in blender patched with vray exporter but i get this error:

RNA_pointer_get: Object.vray not found.
RNA_pointer_get: Object.vray not found.
RNA_pointer_get: Object.vray not found.

ImportError: No module named 'vb30.vray_tools.VRaySceneParser'

<!> event has invalid window

RNA_pointer_get: Object.vray not found.

Blender quit

i can verify that:
-vb25 works ok in this build.
-vb30 is put in the addon folder in blender alone with no vb25 installed.
-vray for standalone from maya 2012 is working and rendering with vb25.
-vray version is 20004
-os is windows 8.1 x64

is there something wrong on my end?

thanks.

vb25 works ok in this build

It could, but it's not supposed to =)

No module named 'vb30.vray_tools.VRaySceneParser'

You have to clone vb30 with submodules with --recursive flag like this:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/bdancer/vb30.git

crax, I'm not experiencing this, try full rebuild.

[crax]

@bdancer: this is a full rebuild, i tested with single building thread, default profile. vs2013, mingw x64, windows 8.1 x64, it worked before!, should i do something?
thank you.

[bdancer]

crax, drop me an email at andrei.izrantcev@chaosgroup.com, will try to figure it out.

[crax]

sorry, i'm not following you, what should i email you with? if you mean a build log i'll happily send it to you.

[bdancer]

Acatully I planned to connect with teamviewer and check whats wrong, because I'm making builds fine there without any problems with my build script (https://github.com/bdancer/vb25-patch/wiki/autobuild).

[crax]

i don't mind using teamviewer, but the problem is i don't have full internet connection, i use mobile internet when i need something, so i guess it couldn't work.

if you want any info i will provide it to you, one thing to notice is that i've build vray 2 weeks ago and it worked, the error happened after i updated the branch.

i'll try test what version worked and post my results -Aw-

[crax]

ok i tried with different versions of the exporter and the branch, still the same error, help

[bdancer]

Try using my autobuild script (I'm making my builds with it without any issues) or precompiled builds.

[crax]

ok
i found that it the plugin doesn't work from either external or contrib addon folder, and i didn't see it mentioned anywhere that it should only be in "addon" folder, even in github wiki.

now it works.
