Lutz,
Thanks for the info, but I firmly believe my model is screwing up how Moray
is operating. I've already made another animation without my model, and it
works just fine. Now I want to know what's wrong with my model. Like I
mentioned, once I click ok, I can start Moray all day long, and that window
doesn't show up, but if I double click on the model of my spaceship, to open
Moray, the model has to be bringing a property with it from somewhere, and
the settings window opens with the Moray com .dll installed set to no, and
asks if Moray should set it, and that is checked.
Everyone,
That spaceship model is possesed. in the m.b newsgroup I posted a zip, and
2 pictures. The 2 pictures are where I'm a bit confused. These images were
rendered in POV with just my model, a camera, and no lights. Could someone
please explain why light is bleeding out of my ship? The image with the,
say 3/4" elipse of greenish blue glow is the engine port, if I view and
render at an angle I get light, however if I look dead on into the engine, I
get darkness. I'm baffled. That is one reason I believe all the issues are
with my model, it is not the software. I can render the hell out of that
ship, but once I need to animate it, the software freaks out.
I appreciate everyones help on this, and if we never get it that will be ok,
but this has me baffled. Can't animate, light emitting from something that
contains no light source, and how does a model hang onto, or control how
Moray communicates? One of the modern mysteries of man (well at least this
man)
Thanks again to all,
Dean

Hi Dean MacIsaac Jr., you recently wrote in moray.win:

Really. That's weird. It certainly can't be the model, since the MDL
files contain nothing relevant to the communication with POV-Ray.
Is this related to a reboot? I mean does that window popup after every
reboot and then never again? Or only on a new day?
The next time you want to start Moray for the first time, please can
you try what I described in that last thread (see below):
Go to the INI directory of where POV-Ray is installed
(probably C:\Program Files\POV-Ray For Windows\INI) and edit
PVENGINE.INI. Search for a section that starts like this:
[GUIExtensions]
UseExtensions=1
Make sure there is a line (or add it if it isn't) like this:
ExtDll15=C:\Program Files\Moray For Windows\MorayCtrl.DLL
You need to make sure that there is no other ExtDll15 in that section,
otherwise increase the 15 until you get a number that is not present.
Also make sure that MorayCtrl.dll is in that section once only. And
obviously you might need to change the path to point to where
MorayCtrl.dll really is located (Moray installation directory).
Then start POV-Ray only. Check the Message pane, it should say
something like this:
GUI Extension 'Moray Communcations DLL' loaded from 'MorayCtrl.DLL'
Report any problems to blabla....
..and the GUI Extension menu item should now show Moray
Communications DLL. If the above message does not appear, please let
me know what does appear in the message pane.
