weired issue FTH

[mitviz]

got this error just now and its the same scene i rendered last week not this popped up

[maru]

Tried clicking the "learn more" button? ;)
And foreseeing the next question: yes, disabling FTH completely is perfectly safe.

At this point I am seriously thinking about just opening the link automatically when it pops out, because people seem to be unable to click on it on their own :D

[mitviz]

did click on it buts its such a long thing to read:) and has to do with registery stuff i would rather not play with, you have to remember that alot of here are not as tech savvy as you guys

There is some truth to that. Users should not concern themselves with debug functions interacting with the application.
There is no reason for FTH to interact with max and corona. Since the Corona installer is elevated, why not just add the exclude string in the registry automatically?
Alternatively as a "Disable FTH for 3dsMax (only uncheck if you know what you are doing)" Checkbox.

[Ondra]

because we dont want to mess with the system without knowledge of the user. I remember people were flipping out just because Corona was automatically changing 3dsmax priority to low, and we had to remove that (and then came the long string of "chrome is freezing" bugreports).

[Ondra]

also remember that Corona is not a standalone application, it is a plugin. We would have to change behavior of a completely different program that we do not develop...

[mitviz]

so i guess nothing for this but to disable it

[mitviz]

now this, any ideas?

[mitviz]

restarted and now only the  FTH issue but on a separate scene fully the same error

[mitviz]

fully disabled FTH and now all files are corrupt! this really messed up the entire project

[mitviz]

i had to restart the entire project, all files including backup got currupt, now have to revert to vray to finish the project, idk, this has never happened before

Really sad story...

About backup, I use Auto-save script. Maybe in future it will be useful for you if you are going to try daily builds. Actually I would suggest to use this script to everyone who is going to try them. I wrote about this script in [Useful Scripts\Tools] category some time ago

Auto-save

Script which allows to have auto backup history for each opened file separately - you can have backups of a file even if you didn't work with it one year or more (if you didn't deletу it's history of course) . One more good thing - it saves backup files very fast (native autosave process in Max 2014 takes sooo much time!)

what does it do different from max auto backup? its very strange i have set my max to 10 backups and all seemed to be corrupt, no matter what i tried as max forums suggest

[Bormax]

This script stores backups for different files in different folders. This is how  my .../autoback folder looks - each folder is the history for each file I was working with. You can set up amount of backup files you want to have in history of your files and time interval between autosavings. So, if you work with one file, Max will not overwrite the history of another file.
