Cinema 4D Dials 1.44

Next to adding support for R25, and fixing bugs, I have also added some extra options to show a tool-tip when hovering over an item.

I have also added some background behind the items in the main dial to provide for some contrast.

All configurable with additional options.

However, I have mainly focused on developing for R20 as this is the version I am mainly using.

I know the color scheme in R21, and especially R25, are darker than R20. The default values I thus have provided might not match those newer versions. Feel free to set up your own background color and opacity, as well as the tool-tip background color, and text color, font size, ... etc.

@BridgeThoseEdges Thank you for your kind donation. Much appreciated !!!

@dast We have to thank you for the awesome work you do!!!

I was looking for Dials everywhere but i saw that it wasn't available from your website anymore and luckily i found it here!!

I have installed the correct version in both installation folder and preferences folder, although it's not showing up in R25. I'll try some other way and i'll come back if i can't find any solution.

Thank you again for the work you put on these plugins!! 

You need just single installation, two identical installations collide together. Keep just single in preferences plugin folder and remove it from installation folder...

Yes, removing it from the plugins in installation folder fixed the problem.

Thank you both guys!!!

Thank you both guys!!!

Glad it worked out for you.

However, the plugin contains documentation that describes how and where to install the plugin, depending the version of Cinema4D you are using.

What was the reason that made you decide to install in both folders?

Knowing why might help in provide better and more accurate documentation in the future.

@dast Oh god, i never saw that documentation...

I was so excited cause i found the plugin after a long time.

Anyway, the fault was on my end, nothing wrong with the plugin.

I just thought that it would work like other plugins by placing it at the installation folder instead

of the preferences one... Then i copied it to the preferences and just forgot to remove it from the installation one...

Yeah i know, but like i said i was so excited 

Thanks again dast, it's an amazing plugin!!!

@bezoAnd of course, thank you for the help, without you i would still try to figure out what's wrong 

You're welcome,  but all thanks go to  Daniel for his awesome tool

First thing is to see if Cinema4D found the plugin to launch.

Does the console window (shift-F10) shows anything related to the Dials plugin. If successfully started, the plugin will show a welcome message in the console window: "Dials v1.44 - ready".

When no message is listed: did you add the path to the plugin folder into your preferences?

Same here: Doesn't show up in Extensions. R25.117

Its placed inside of the preferences folder (AppData/Roaming......

Do i have to delete some mac files and non R25 files, or can i leave all the R20,R21, files inside?

Any Idea?

Thanks

You can delete all mac and non R25 files and see if that helps, but I can confirm that on my installed development version of R25.117 the plugin lists its welcome message in the console window as expected. And plugin is available in the extension menu. Even with all mac files and non R25 files present.

Cannot help you further, sorry!

Unfortunatly, nothing related to the Dials plugin when I display the Console Window...
And yes I add the path the plugin in my preferences

Can it be updated to 2023. Can make it work upto R26
