Hi all, first post and all that so try and be gentle. I’m having trouble getting this script to update besed on any changed values. I was wondering whats the most logical way to go about this?
See script:
try (cui.UnRegisterDialogBar rolMainRR) catch()
try (destroyDialog rolMainRR) catch()
try (closerolloutfloater rolMainRR) catch()
global DialogIniFile = getDir #plugcfg + "/RegionRenderSettings.ini"
if renderSceneDialog.isOpen() == true do messagebox "The Render Dialog needs to close and say closed for any changes to take effect.
You don't really need it for test rendering anyway
If you open the render dialog and make changes, click the 'U!' button to update the UI." title:"RegionRender V2.0 by 3dwannab" beep:true
if renderSceneDialog.isOpen() == true do renderSceneDialog.close()

Higher values will increase sampling of Global Illumination, resulting in cleaner indirect lighting, glossy reflections, refractions and translucency. Lower values will increase sampling of Anti-Aliasing and therefore improve quality of fine geometry edges, Depth of Field, and Motion Blur.
Setting this value under 2 or above 64 is not recommended.

The ratio between rendering performance and physical accuracy.
Lowering it will result in clamping of the reflection and refraction caustics brightness, significantly reducing noise at the expense of bias. Increasing this value will reduce amount of clamping but also increase amount of noise. Default value of 20 works well in most scenes.
Setting this value to 0 enables special unbiased mode where no clamping will occur. This mode will however often introduce fireflies that may never converge when using Progressive or Bucket render engine.

This is nested below the function. And it's not working. Any ideas? I'm past the maxscript help at this stage and need someones help. Thanks.
Another is the dockable window which I have getting save out to a .cfg file. I'm having trouble getting it to open as a docked window when it's in a docked state already. I was thinking of just adding buttons to the UI myself and use them to register and unregister the DialogBar. Again. Any ideas?
