Animation layers and Boolean parameters
Before I log a bug report, I want to make sure I'm not doing something stupid. Here is what I do. - New Scene - Create a null - Create a custom property on that null with a boolean parameter - Set a key on the parameter ( value = False ) - Now create a new animation layer - Set the param to True and Key - Move to another frame and key again BAM ! The parameter is set to False without asking ! Am I doing anything wrong there ? You can also reproduce the bug with this script : Application.NewScene(, ) Application.GetPrim(Null, , , ) Application.AddProp(Custom_parameter_list, , , CustomPSet, ) Application.SIAddCustomParameter(null, Param, siBool, 0, 0, 1, , 2053, 0, 1, , ) Application.SelectObj(null.CustomPSet, , ) Application.SetValue(null.CustomPSet.Param, True, ) Application.SetValue(null.CustomPSet.Param, False, ) Application.SaveKey(null.CustomPSet.Param, 1, , , , , ) Application.AddAnimationLayer(Scene_Root, , 1) Application.SetValue(null.CustomPSet.Param, True, ) Application.SaveKey(null.CustomPSet.Param, 1, , , , , ) Application.SetValue(PlayControl.Key, 10, ) Application.SetValue(PlayControl.Current, 10, ) Application.SaveKey(null.CustomPSet.Param, 10, , , , , )

RE: Animation layers and Boolean parameters
Edit: Just thought about it - depends on whether or not the new animation layer is defined as current or not. If the new layer is not set to be the current layer, then the behavior you're experiencing is correct as your last key from the base layer is set to false. If the new layer is the current layer, then it's a bug as the last key was set to true.

If the new layer is not set to be the current layer, then the behavior you’re experiencing is correct as your last key from the base layer is set to false. If the new layer is the current layer, then it’s a bug as the last key was set to true.

CustomParamSets are kind of the wild west in terms of behavior. I would test a Boolean parameter like viewvis and compare with a Boolean on a self installing customproperty. Under the hold the animation layer system is actually the animation mixer which has it’s own rules and logic. Perhaps some of that is bubbling up.

Here is what I do. - New Scene - Create a null - Create a custom property on that null with a boolean parameter - Set a key on the parameter ( value = False ) - Now create a new animation layer - Set the param to True and Key - Move to another frame and key again BAM ! The parameter is set to False without asking ! Am I doing anything wrong there ? You can also reproduce the bug with this script : Application.NewScene(, ) Application.GetPrim(Null, , , ) Application.AddProp(Custom_parameter_list, , , CustomPSet, ) Application.SIAddCustomParameter(null, Param, siBool, 0, 0, 1, , 2053, 0, 1, , ) Application.SelectObj(null.CustomPSet, , ) Application.SetValue(null.CustomPSet.Param, True, ) Application.SetValue(null.CustomPSet.Param, False, ) Application.SaveKey(null.CustomPSet.Param, 1, , , , , ) Application.AddAnimationLayer(Scene_Root, , 1) Application.SetValue(null.CustomPSet.Param, True, ) Application.SaveKey(null.CustomPSet.Param, 1, , , , , ) Application.SetValue(PlayControl.Key, 10, ) Application.SetValue(PlayControl.Current, 10, ) Application.SaveKey(null.CustomPSet.Param, 10, , , , , ) attachment: winmail.dat
Re: Would you like to recover your scene?
I've said this before, but the script log comes really really close to
implementing journalling which is the thing that made filesystems more
robust in the 2000's. the binary dump emergency save thing is really kind
of a silly way to attack the problem of replaying a journal of operations.
If Autodesk realized this, they'd prioritize the completeness of command
logging and build a simple toolset for replaying the unsaved operation
journal.
I sent my repeatHistory plugin to the beta list a while ago and got
crickets. Maybe I'll try again...
All it does is parse the script log for the last open or save operation and
them exec the remainder. It would work even better with an event that sets
the script log path on scene open/save.

RE: Would you like to recover your scene?
My only beef with your plugin is it cannot account for commands which do not log. There's a good probability the scene your plugin generates is not an accurate representation of what last state of the scene actually was before it crashed. Animation edits, for example, do not log at all. Custom tools flagged to not log, or tools called from self installing commands do not log either. Back in good ol' days of XSI v6.x when we were treading water to get anything to function in XSI without exploding, I desperately tried to salvage crashed scenes using a similar technique, but because many commands were not logged it was not possible to salvage work or even rebuild it enough to send to Softimage to diagnose the cause of the crash to get it fixed. Critical missing steps caused the rebuild script to error out, or if it was lucky enough to get to the end without error, the end result was not at all like what it should've been.
