== PREREQUISITES == + Cinema 4D R21 or newer. + Half-Life Advanced Effects (latest version) -- https://www.advancedfx.org/download/ == INSTALLATION == Delete any existing HLAELiveLink Installations. Copy the 'HLAELiveLink' folder into the Cinema 4D Plugins folder. C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D RXX\plugins OR %AppData%\MAXON\Maxon Cinema 4D RXX\plugins *You may need to create the plugins folder Start Cinema 4D and see if the plugin loaded by looking for its entry in plugins > HLAELiveLink. == USAGE == - Start Listen : Start the websocket server. - Stop Listen : Stops the websocket server. - Hostname : The IPv4 address for the websocket to listen on, cannot contain paths (i.e. 127.0.0.1/mypath). - Port : The port for the websocket to listen on. - f-time : Function-time; Time it took to send/receive last update. - avg-time : Rolling average function-time. - max-time : Maximum time f-time can be before we can't send/receive updates quickly enough. Cinema 4D only tells the plugin the max time if we happen to exceed it, so you won't see a value here until that happens, refer to the average time to decide whether or not you should lower the update rate. - Update Rate : How many times per second the camera data is sent/received. Higher values may cause instability, experiment at own risk before using in any live capacity. - Glob. Pos/Rot: When selected, the camera data will be applied (for receive) or sampled (for sending) in global space. Otherwise it will be sampled in local space, this setting is only needed if you have your camera as the child of some null. - Offset Rotn. : Adds an offset rotation to the camera in Cinema 4D/CS:GO. - Set Camera : Select a camera in Cinema 4D, then click this button to use that camera to transmit/receive camera data. - Mapping : When set to Cinema 4D, the selected camera will mimic the game camera, when set to Game, the game camera will mimic the selected Cinema 4D camera. - Client List : List's all the connected clients, click a clients checkbox to make them the active client (note: you may only have one active client at a time). Click a clients name to rename them, and click disconnect to disconnect that client from the server. - Status Bar : Will provide information about the current state of the plugin. - Update (menu): Check for updates or enable/disable automatic update checking for the plugin. == CREDITS == + The HLAELiveLink Team Brett 'xNWP' Anthony Lead Programmer Since November 2018 https://twitter.com/ThatNWP MIT License Copyright (c) 2021 Brett Anthony Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
