OK, made the adjustment and exported. Linked in successfully, but there are no physics!

EDIT: YES!!!!!!!! I fixed the physics so they are set up correctly, and I can link to the small cube:

It's a start

I'm going to see if I can make a bigger cube, and maybe add a Maintainer's Mark.

Hmm, why do .blend1 and .blend2 files keep appearing in my Age directory?

It's a backup file created by blender when you save.

Ah! Is there any way to make it not do that, or have the files be in a different directory?
Also, how do you change the cursor to be a mouse so you can move around the camera?

Just as a hint, please do not put images into spoiler tags. Large images get scrollbars automatically, and with the spoiler, this makes for a double scroll-bar and having to look at the image through a 150 pixel high gap. Not so useful

Yeah, you're right. Oops.

Sounds good for a test age. Keep in mind that the modifier will only add the coordinates in your KI and not the visual.

Ok, I see it's already solved.

Older hint, which can now be ignored:

This effect appears when the file "$test_District_Scene.prp" is not exported to the dat folder as well, but elsewhere.
Lontahv already fixed this bug, but did not release a new version yet.
EITHER manually move the exported file "$test_District_Scene.prp" to your dat folder (the file should be found one folder above dat, or search for it),

OR edit the file "exporter.py" in Blender/2.57/scripts/addons/PyPRP2 and replace line 71

Code: Select all

    rm.WritePage(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(path),fullpagename), page)

with this:

Code: Select all

    rm.WritePage(os.path.join(path,fullpagename), page)

using a plain-text editor like notepad (not Word); be sure to keep the same indention (4 spaces). Then restart Blender to make the change take place.

(In the first place, I did not see page 2 of this thread. Then I posted, realized, that a solution was found, then I removed my post - resulting in hiding page 2 for me again. The I re-posted again, giving me page 2 again ... well, a bit weird. Not sure what's going on.)

thanks tachzusammen, I will edit that in my exporter.py.

Ah! That makes since. Edit time!

Don't worry. The error was actually the fact that I exported it in MOUL format by mistake . Luckily, I fixed the problem. I'll upload a screenshot later.
