Title: Corona Renderer for ARCHICAD Alpha 4 daily build
Post by: alexhajdu on 2019-10-07, 15:07:19
Dear ARCHICAD users!

The wait is over and we are releasing the fresh daily build with many improvements and brand new features.
We were focusing mainly on stability and bug fixes. Caustics, updated camera tab with new camera implementations are other changes worth to mention.
Note: uvw randomizer and round edges textures were postponed and they will be delivered in one of the future releases)

As always, please let us know how can we improve and if you find some bug, please don't hesitate to report so we can fix it ASAP.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the great work. Do you have a version for Archicad 23 available? We are getting crashes when working with render outputs like Mask ID

Hi @gurkmukh23. No AC23 version is not ready yet. Please report the bug into this thread: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?board=47.0 so we can look at this issue and fix it :)

Hi all, just spotted this thread.

The main download page links to Alpha 3. Should I be using Alpha 4 instead? I'm on AC21 - is this build just as stable?

(And if I choose to use A4 instead, do I need to uninstall A3 first? Or just install this over the top?)

Thanks.

Post by: alexhajdu on 2019-10-31, 14:30:18
Daily builds are incremental and usually you want to install the latest one to test the new features and enjoy fixes.
Alpha3 and Alpha4 are tested on AC 21,22.
You can have only 1 version per AC instance installed, however, you can have for example Alpha3 for AC21 and Alpha4 for AC22.
Builds are stable as much as it gets, but it's still an alpha...
Title: Re: Corona Renderer for ARCHICAD Alpha 4 daily build
Post by: derekjackson on 2019-10-31, 15:19:48
Thanks. So best uninstall the A3 version first? Or will the A4 install just replace it?

(Just want to minimise the chance of things going wrong!)

Hi everyone!
I would partecipate to the evolution process of the software, but our projects are completely depending on AC 23 so we cannot use Corona anymore... it is a great pity!
Are you working on another version AC23 compatible??

Thank you!!

Run the installer and select Unpack files radio button. This will unpack necessary files to selected folder. Find that folder and go to Corona for ARCHICAD 22 folder. Copy:
Now open your Corona Image editor folder (If you've installed it previously, it's default location is C:\Program Files\Corona\ImageEditor) and paste previously mentioned files.

Hello! Tell me after the upgrade to alpha 4, archicad appears when loading an error! Unable to load some Extensions.
I tried to remove alpha 3 and reinstall alpha 4, nothing helps!
Version ARCHICAD 22 64bit, russian localization.

Post by: alexhajdu on 2020-02-14, 09:43:43
Please note we are officially supporting only INT version. It's because of unfortunate approach from Graphisoft to localize also folders names. You probably don't have Add-On folder on your computer or you have Add-On and some equivalent name in your language.
Try to manually remove all Corona related files from your AC installation and install Corona4 again.
If you send me your directory structures, I can assist more.

You may be right, but why does alpha 3 work fine with russian localization?

My don't have Add-On folder, but  my have Add-On name in my language.

I see. Manually remove all Corona*.* files and ACAP_DLL.apx from your addon folder. Then try to install Corona again. There are some files also in AC root directory, but they should cause no troubles. Let me know if that helps.

I tried deleting all Corona * files. * and ACAP_DLL.apx, does not help. Also deleted the folder in C: \ Program Files \ Corona, everything is useless.

I also tried to unpack alpha 4 and add Corona * files. * and ACAP_DLL.apx to Archicad through the extension manager from the Add-On folder in English, the program perceives them as an incorrect format.

As you can see, in your picture, the yellow warning triangles are pointing to Add-On folder not your localized ones! Please do some proper manual cleaning - remove Corona from Add-on and your localized Add-On folder and install Corona again...
Ah Graphisoft, what a great idea was to localize the folders :((

Post by: rozky on 2020-02-18, 10:04:18
Try this:
1. (automatic uninstallation) - Program Files\Corona\Corona for ARCHICAD - Uninstall.exe

2. delete all corona files from  "razsirenija Archicad" folder and all corona files from "add-on" folder. (if the addon folder is only for corona then delete it - you do not need it) Then open - ArchiCAD -addon manager and make sure that corona is NOT on the list.

3. run "corona-Archicad-alpha4-daily-2019-10-07-win"
4. If it is necessary manual copy ArchiCAD files from addon folder to razsirenija Archicad and delete addon folder

Hope this help

I have to manually install Corona for AC22 (Norwegian), but for AC21 (Norwegian) the installer works. In the norwegian Archicad the Add-ons folder is the same as in the international version. As far  as I can see the only folders in the norwegian version with localized names are the library folders, and no addon should place files in those. If you add objects to these you risk inconsistencies in teamwork projects.

Ah Graphisoft, what a great idea was to localize the folders :((

1) I deleted all files, all versions Corona
2)Everything is clean in the program, no plugins Corona
3)Launched the installation of "corona-Archicad-alpha4-daily-2019-10-07-win"
4)Files after installation appear in the folder, but an error appears when loading Archicad. In extension manage, the same errors!

corona plugin files are in the folder C:\Program Files\GRAPHISOFT\ARCHICAD 22\Расширения ARCHICAD

You should understand that if alpha 3 works fine with a localized version of archicad, then corona developers have changed the code in alpha4 files.
As a result, the corona plugin stopped working on localized versions. I see one way out or install the English version of archicad or wait for the developers to change this bug in alpha 5!

In some language localizations, the folder names are not translated. But they are in many languages. We are trying to get a response from Graphisoft, because it will be a pain to install all available localizations just to get Add-On folder names.
Often with diacritic and/or special characters. It's not possible to make all proper testing and support all languages, in dailies. All this will be sorted once the commercial version hit the market. Until then, the only officially supported version is INT. If you are lucky, it will work with your localization too (e.g. Swedish)...
