Realflow crash when trying to load scene

[motoyuki]

Hi,

I'm trying to do the "render batch script" from waterline magazine 01.
I have the problem, that both on mac and on PC it crashes Realflow (10.01).
I narrowed it down to the scene.load command not working in a for loop.

also when I add

scene.setCommandLineSimulation(True)

it doesn't simulate in commandline, but in the GUI.
is that a bug or am I doing something wrong here?

here the full script for you to test:
the problem occurs in the last for loop

numberOfFields = 10
projectFiles = []

guiForm = GUIFormDialog.new()

for fieldNumber in range(1, numberOfFields + 1):

if (fieldNumber < 10):
fieldName = "Project file 0" + str(fieldNumber)
guiForm.addFileField(fieldName)

else:
fieldName = "Project file " + str(fieldNumber)
guiForm.addFileField(fieldName)

if (guiForm.show() == GUI_DIALOG_ACCEPTED):

for fieldNumber in range(1, numberOfFields + 1):

if (fieldNumber < 10):
fieldName = "Project file 0" + str(fieldNumber)

else:
fieldName = "Project file " + str(fieldNumber)
fieldEntry = guiForm.getFieldValue(fieldName)
projectFiles.append(fieldEntry)

for currentProject in projectFiles:
if (currentProject!= ""):
scene.load(currentProject)
scene.setCommandLineSimulation(True)
scene.simulate()
scene.message("Simulating " + currentProject+ "Ö")

else:
scene.message("Script cancelled by user.")

Ho motoyuki,

Thanks for pointing me to this issue. I'll give it a try today to see if the script can be fixed or if it's a RF thing.

Cheers,

I've tested the script and you're right: RF 10.1 crashes when the second scene is loaded. This is most probably a RF bug, because the script works with RF2016. I've checked most of the magazine's scripts with RF10, but I've obviously missed that one.

Thanks for letting me know!

Cheers,
Thomas

Thomas, thanks for checking!

And thanks for doing the waterline magazine, it's very well done and helps me a lot!!!

cheers,

Good news Marcus! The latest version, available in the customer portal, has this bug fixed and the script is working again.
