umm installing gow-pyprp

[Goofy]

Haven't really seen it anywhere, but what exactly needs to be done with new plugins when installing them. I haven't seen anything around here about that. Personally I think it should be stickied if there is or a link somewhere. so people don't have to go searching for it.

Goofy,

Trylon, Paradox, and the others have told me this:

When installing the latest plugin version, go to your script folder in Blender, and delete all files starting with alc and with uru.

THEN copy the newly downloaded files to the same script folder.

Once that is done, load up Blender, and go to your User preference options.

In that window, click on File Paths.

Then where it says scripts, click on the little box that looks like a note, not the hands. This makes Blender re-evaluate the new scripts.

Then, I always exit Blender and restart it at that point.

That's all there is to it.

There's a write-up of installing the PyPRP on the GoW Wiki (click here).

hmmm well I did all that downloaded everything that it says I should. deleted all files it said to delete. Copied over files in the latest plugin. Using the current funcChk01.blend and I got the below.

Code: Select all

Compiled with Python version 2.5.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
Exporting C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\FuncChk01.age ...
Args are e_age
['e', 'age']
Exporting age FuncChk01

not sure what I missed, but somethings amiss

Indeed.

It looks like Blender is still using the old plugin's uruprp_export.py file. Here's how I can tell:

- Under "Exporting age FuncChk01.age", it should have said "[AlcScript Parser]", but it didn't. This comes from the call to AlcScript.LoadFromBlender(), which is in the new plugin but not the old one.
- It says that export_book() was called on line 69, but it is actually called on line 71 in the new plugin

I recommend deleting all the uru*.py, alc*.py and prp*.py files from C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts (as well as all the *.pyc files) and copy over the plugin again.

Goofy, I got this error too once, and it turned out I had a old copy of the alcresmanager.py in the Blender directory somewhere. Once I deleted it the error went away. Check for that too.
