Guild of Writers

I had a look in the Wiki and found the Beginners Tutorial Your Very First Basic Age. I have downloaded what is needed for the tutorial except for Blender I have Version 2.45. I have installed the other programs and did what the tutorial said to do. I copied a pasted the contents of the SRC folder into the Scripts folder and there is no button to press to add PyPRP. What have I done wrong?

In both 2.46 and 2.47 versions of Blender (BTW get Blender 2.47) I can in the 3D window menu select Object -> Scripts -> PyPrp

Else

Split one screen and set it to scripts, there you'l have access to all sorts of scripts and wizards

At this point, I don't think PyPRP will work with Blender 2.45 anymore. Please upgrade to Blender 2.47.

Would that be the trunk/nightly version or the release version? Shouldn't information like this be dropped in the PyPRP thread? Something like: "As of PyPRP build yada, yada, blah, blah; we believe compatibility has been lost with Blender Version 2.45 and recommend upgrading to version 2.47. Just a thought.

Aspell recognizes blah but not yada? It's such a definitive term of speech!

Thanks Grogyan, your suggestion worked.

Paradox, Yes ok I will update to the 2.47 version of Blender.

I have a small problem - I followed the instructions for "Turning Ideas Into Ages" in the wiki; downloaded and installed everything - however, I'm stuck at trying to install the PyPRP - the directions tell me to unzip and move everything into the scripts folder in Blender. I cannot find a scripts folder in Blender. I'm using Vista. Any help?

From what I remember from other people having this problem, is that these scripts have been moved to My Documents -> Blender

I'm just guessing at the location, Blender would have created this directory for you at install.

BTW I don't have Vista, waiting to see what happens with Windows 7 this time next year

I created a script folder in the Python folder and set the Blender file path for scripts to point to it. You can set the file paths in Blender by pulling down the window above the 3D viewport window and click on the <File Paths> button.

Apparently a lot of stuff didn't install as it was supposed to. Looks like I have to do the compatibility dance with all the elements. If it still borks on me, I'll just use my XP machine.

I use Vista with 247 just fine (the "regular" paths), but mine's installed over old versions. This might be a new thing, I've heard of it before. But do a search on Blender on your system, and see what it turns up (that's not in the Blender app folder).
