Unable to create light

I'm using the 2012 version of MAX with the plugins from that thread. When I try to create a RT omni (commandPannel -> Lights -> PLasma RunTime) MAX crashed completely. Here is a pic but it is in german:

Any ideas how to fix it?

This is probably a bug caused by porting the code to newer max versions. Unfortunately while the code compiles, it doesn't always work as expected when moving from an old max version to a new one. I don't have the knowledge of Max and the plugin to actually test all the features in detail myself, which is why you guys get the "testing" build ;)

I'll try to reproduce your crash and let you know what I find.

I tried recreating Nobby's problem in Max 2011. I could not recreate it, I even added multiples of the all of the Plasma Runtime Lights. Max 2011 kept trucking along for me, no matter how many or of what lights I added.

Thanks for that bit of info, I.Brattin. Saves me some frustration trying to test in a working version.

I've confirmed this crash occurs in Max 2012. I'm still working on tracking down the actual cause... debugging a max plugin is kind of a pain
