Error Message

[Justintime9]

Ok, well, I've gotten this error message a few times since the new PyPRP pluggin, and the strange thing is, if I click OK, it won't quit the game, but it actually links to the age...
let me start from the beginning: I was doing Nadnerb's Decal Blending tutorial... now, I'm pretty sure I did everything right, but when I exported it (and multiplied the islands a bit, so it looks somewhat like a real age) and tried to link to it, it gave me This error message:

but when I click OK, it links to my age... BUT all the textures are gone!!! my islands are completely white! Although, I know the tutorial worked, cuz I could see that the bottom part of the top of each island, was transparent, and gradually became opaque. What did I do wrong?! this has happened before... is it the new pluggin? anyone have any Idea?

Looks like your .fni is empty. Have you tried re-exporting? Do you have UruFun? If so, just copy the .fni file from another age of yours and then call it "islands.fni" and then update the .sum for islands.sum. If this doesn't fix your textures then you have quite a problem with the pyprp-plugin.


Oh and about Yinfara, an Alc-patcher ate most of my uru installs so I'm starting new, don't worry, I still have all the .blends.

well, I have URU fun, but I'm not sure if I installed it right, and I have no Idea what the heek it does... and it does this EVERY time I export an age, so it's not something that I can just go in the files, and change the settings every time I make an age... I need to get to the root of the problem, or my ages won't have any textures!!!

[Justintime9]

Anyone?? I can't very well make ages, if this keeps coming up... Anyone got any Ideas?

So you didn't follow Lontahv's advice?

Ok, here is the proper way then. In Blender, open a Text Editor window and then open the init datablock (or create it if it is not there). Then make sure it looks something like this:

Code: Select all

#--Fog settings--
#Graphics.Renderer.SetYon float yon
#Visibility distance
Graphics.Renderer.SetYon 100000

#Graphics.Renderer.Fog.SetDefLinear float start, float end, float density
#Fog depth
Graphics.Renderer.Fog.SetDefLinear 1 1000 1

#Graphics.Renderer.Fog.SetDefExp2 float end, float density
#Graphics.Renderer.Fog.SetDefExp2 100000 20

#Graphics.Renderer.Fog.SetDefColor float r, float g, float b
Graphics.Renderer.Fog.SetDefColor 0 0 0

#Graphics.Renderer.SetClearColor float r, float g, float b
Graphics.Renderer.SetClearColor 0 0 0

These are the default values PyPRP should have written when you added a new book.

Edit: You may have to scroll up to see the text.

Ok, I didn't do what Lontahv said, because I have no Idea what URUfun is, or how to work it... second of all, I tried what you said, and it STILL didn't work

Here's the blendfile... see if there's anything wrong with it... if not, it's probably PyPRP acting up... http://www.mediafire.com/?ykthdnofxcx

You called the text datablock initit.txt. The init datablock already existed and it was empty as I expected.
So delete init and then rename initit.txt to init.


btw, I have proposed a fix for the way PyPRP handles empty init sections.

[Justintime9]

what do you mean? change the name of the text file? if so, I did that and it still didn't work... do you mean actually go into the data folder and rename the init file?

Edit: I think I know what you mean... but it didn't seem to help... did u actually try exporting the age, after changing the init data? or did you just see that it was wrong, and assume that it'd work if you fixed it? Do you think it's PyPRP?

[D'Lanor]

No, this is all in Blender.

1. select init
2. click the x to delete it
3. select initit.txt
4. rename it to init

It exports the fni file fine after that.

Ok, I tried that, and Well, I don't get the Error message anymore, but it still doesn't have the textures!!!! and... I seem to have lost my flymode abilities...
