3.7 Beta v18. I'm trying to get this working with Moray 3.5. I know there
are apparently issues between the two programs, however I haven't seen
anyone post anything about this particular problem yet.
The first time I design and render a texture in Moray, all is well. Meaning
Moray communicates properly with POVRay, and the texture/scene is rendered
without error messages. However, if I then change the texture definitions,
POVRay errors out with a message about failure to parse an INI file. The
specific message is lost to me right now, but that's the gist of the
message.
I can't figure out if its taking about POVTXTR2.INI or my scene's INI.
Either way, is this a problem with POVRay or with Moray? Furthermore, has
anyone else seen this and can anything be done to fix it? I really need
this configuration to work, seeing as how SUPER FAST 3.7 renders on my
dual-core NC8430! Its incredible!
I seriously pray I'm not alone here... Oh, by the way, this exact problem
was present on Windows XP Pro + SP2 and Vista RTM Ultimate. Thanks!

Ah-HA! I've figured out specifically why its crashing. POVRay 3.7 doesn't
like the "Radiosity" keyword in the scene's INI file.
That, unfortunately, doesn't help much. I can manually take that line out
of the INI, and render the scene directly in POVRay, however that's a pain
and I'm looking for a fix so I can continue to develop and render my scene
in Moray.
So considering this new info, any ideas? Thanks.
