Yeah. One time I tried to make fR Light Lister and it was a HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS! I never actually finished it, since when I was done with version 1. Cebas changed a few params on the lights and I'd have to re-do the whole thing. :D

So, with that being said, kudos ecximer! Great work!

Is there any reason why you have to encrypt your script??

Chakib · 2013-02-12, 10:01:43

Weird way to thank him for this...

Ecximer : Thanks a lot very nice gift !!!

dschaga · 2013-02-13, 14:29:36

sorry, don't wanted to harm someone ..just asking

Probably so someone doesn't steal it, adjust it for different renderer and then claim it his own. There was for example a case with a guy named Arthur Leao who made universal MentalRay settings manager script, and a guy named Thorsten Hartmann, who copied most of his script and claimed it his own for a while. Once Arthur found out, they came to an agreement :)

Thorsten hartmann.. man, I love this guy :D His english is soo bad even germans have problems understanding his cg talk posts :D
Encryption can have several reasons, but if you're interested: there is a very cleverly designed and scripted Maxwell lightlister which can be found on scriptspot. I thought about asking this guy for permission to use it for a corona lightlister, but ecximer already did a great job with his script :)

ecximer · 2013-02-13, 20:41:35

I always encrypt my scripts - so I want to.
СoronaLister written by analogy with the standard Lister, but completely all my code, anything from anyone I did not steal, the benefit of a lot of experience.

Maybe there is a misunderstanding or i am just being paranoid. When i was talking about stealing i did not say you stole someones script, i said that you encrypted it so that someone does not steal it for you.

If you comment was not related to mine, then sorry, and nevermind :)

Ondra · 2013-02-13, 22:45:23

That being said, I would be most happy if these sorts of user-contributed tools were open-source (but not "attached to this post are the source codes, steal as you wish", but with clearly defined permissive licence, and clear versioning using open-source community tools, such as github, sourceforge, etc.).

Then everybody could contribute useful code changes, or modify it to suit their needs, and these tools would grow with the community. Once Corona goes commercial, I will definitely support this (for example by offering people like excimer some rewards for publishing the script as open-source).

In either case, max is looking for a script to a non-existent folder 'ecXimer'

what is it?

Stan_But · 2013-05-05, 12:18:46

excuse me, ecXimer, - i copied script directly in 'script' folder without 'ecXimer' folder - i missed it.

but it's the way to have working script without additional folders in 'script' )))

white · 2013-05-23, 07:19:50

thanks a lot for this.....very useful, especially for interior scenes with lot of lights....

tridimp · 2013-05-23, 12:10:34

ecximer · 2013-06-04, 10:48:35

Since there are new options, after the release of Alpha 5 will be updated and the script.

Richy · 2013-06-14, 12:17:24

3dsmax 2011 x 64 Corona (Alpha 4) and (Alpha 5) gives me error, when i try run script.

ecximer · 2013-06-14, 13:56:38

Unfortunately I have no idea what could be causing this error, but may limit the 2011 maxscript.
Try new version, but i don't tested in 2011 max...
UPDATE 0.3.7

Richy · 2013-06-14, 21:53:06

Thank's, but i got that same error... For which max version Corona LightLister built?

ecximer · 2013-06-17, 10:56:22

Hi there,

after the installation on max design 2014 I get a runtime error (see attachment) Not sure if it has to do with the script but perhaps someone knows what this is about?

ecximer · 2014-06-10, 20:13:15

Perhaps the problem is in design version of 3ds max. Unfortunately I did not check in Max design.

daniel.reutersward · 2014-06-10, 21:03:44

I got the same error message! (I´m not using Design version of 3D Max)

racoonart · 2014-06-10, 21:45:32

Actually that's easily fixable. It's a security thing:

Do the following:
1. Open in Notepad file "3dsmax.exe.config" from 3ds Max root directory.
2. Add the following lines to the 3dsmax.exe.config:

Quote

<runtime>
<loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true" />
</runtime>

3. Our full 3dsmax.exe.config file looks like this:

Quote

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
</startup>
<system.diagnostics>
<assert assertuienabled="false"/>
<sources>

<source name="System.Windows.Data" switchName="SourceSwitch">
<listeners>
<remove name="Default" />
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<switches>
<add name="SourceSwitch" value="All" />
</switches>
<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4"></trace>
</system.diagnostics>
<runtime>
<loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true" />
</runtime>
</configuration>

ikercito · 2014-06-12, 15:29:08

Hi excimer, thanks for your work

I'm getting an error - Unknown property: "texmap" in $CoronaLight:Coronalight001.... - under max 2013 64bits in Win7, Corona A6, and v0.6 of the script

Any ideas?

Thx.

ecximer · 2014-06-12, 21:48:33

No idea.
Can you send me scene only with lights?

Ondra · 2014-06-12, 22:54:48

texmap was added to lights only recently, there is 99% chance that he is using A6 which did not have it.

BTW: from A7 there will be a method for getting current Corona version, so maybe situations like this can be handled (with an error message saying that incompatible build is being used) https://corona-renderer.com/wiki/maxscript

ecximer · 2014-06-12, 23:07:34

Exactly :) Looks like I got so carried away with daily builds that missed this moment. Soon will release an update ...

Aleks_1970 · 2014-06-13, 11:08:36

Does not work for me. Such is the mistake. Max 2014 Alfa6. Help, please.

antanas · 2014-06-15, 14:46:10

Hi, I've got quite an ugly bug in max 2014sp5, corona db 2014-06-14, lightlister build 0.6.1 - whenever I run lightlister it changes length of all rectangular (btw there is some misspelling in those lights shape naming inside the lightlister) lights to 100mm no other types\shapes of light seems to be effected, yet that needs more thorough checking.

ikercito · 2014-06-15, 15:56:26

@Keymaster... Am i using an outdated A6 build then? Should I redownload and reinstall?

Thx everyone :)

Ondra · 2014-06-15, 16:00:53

A7 is not publicly available yet, will be soon. After that make sure to update ;)

Hello everyone. Great tool , unfortunately doesn't work for me. Here is the mistake I've got

ecximer · 2014-07-15, 19:06:04

You use old script. You must downloaded a new version of lister.

lintalve · 2014-07-18, 11:24:31

Sorry, my bad! Works like a charm and an awesome tool!!!! plus corona light mtl! thanks

Yes.
Also with A7.2

Could someone reupload the Corona Light Lister for the 3ds Max 2017 version?

Thanks

romullus · 2017-08-31, 09:52:19

The lister will be bundled with upcoming 1.7 release.

Has there been any update for this? 1.7 was released but I can't find an integrated light lister.

TomG · 2017-10-25, 19:50:53

The Light Lister was moved back to a later version.

NicolasC · 2017-12-08, 12:14:23

Hi :)

Any news about 1.7 and Excimer's Light Lister ? I've just tried to run it on 3dsmax 2018, with Corona v1.7, and got this error (check enclosed screenshot).
I've tried a bunch of several fixes suggested in the past (unblocking dlls, loadFromRemoteSources tweak in 3dsmax.exe.config file tweak), but it remains the same ... any idea, please ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards.

cecofuli · 2017-12-08, 16:51:11

User suggested to use GTools Light lister script. It should support Corona.
But yes, we need an official Corona Light Lister.
