This is something that should probably be clarified: that all ages within a game instance must have a unique sequence prefix; whether exported publicly or not. I can't think of a really clear way to state this.

That being said; is there a publicly accessible area which lists sequence prefixes that have been used? This is information that would be good to have when one is starting work on an age. I'm thinking a list quite like the sign-up sheet for AP shells.

I have requested to Trylon that a feature in ULM warning the user of conflicting unique id's, but no idea if he will implement it

I had exactly the same problem, and it was Boblishman that told me about this tiny detail

Actually there already is a list. It's here:

List of Sequence Prefixes

Since it is on the Alcugs Wiki, I think there was a problem porting it over to the GoW Wiki. But there should be a link in the first tutorial on the GoW Wiki to here so that you know what is going on.

EDIT: I just added a quick, short section in the GoW Wiki on Sequence Prefixes, before the Your First Real Age tutorial.

It's planned for the new ULM

Hi everybody!

I'm having the same problem that Topher had and I did download all the required programs and even tried the find paths that Andylegate suggested, but I still get that error message "Python script error: check console" after I export>PyPRP>All as full age (.age). Will some one please help me in this as I'm getting a severe headache banging my head against the wall trying to make this work.

Oh yes, I do admit I'm a total noob, so please have patience with me. Thanks!

Ok, so, could you check the console and tell us what it says?

(the console is that text window that opens with blender and you usually leave in the background. When a script throws errors, you'll see 'em in there)

Remember to make sure you take all the scripts out of the "src" folder from the install package and put them in /.blender/scripts or it won't work. That was my issue, as well, and I finally realized that all the other scripts were out in that folder, so why not these, too? Then I updated the file paths like Andy said, and poof! Works like a charm.

Hiya Nadnerb and Nynaeve!

My console said:
Compiled with Python version 2.5.
Checking for installed Python...got it!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 55, in <module>
ImportError: No module named alcconfig

I finally understood to just take all the contents from the src folder and paste them in the scripts folder and voila! It seems to work, unfortunately I do not have time to play with it right now - maybe tomorrow. Thanks folks for the invaluable info - you guys rock!! Now I also understand how confusing the src folder is to newbies like me .

Awesome! Glad to hear you got it working! When you have the time to play, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Its loads of fun.

As a side note: I agree with everyone else up above that it would be realllly nice to get rid of that src folder in the install package, or else update the install instructions to be a bit more descriptive.

Ok folks - here we go again!

When I pull up the FuncChk01.blend the console says:

Compiled with Python version 2.5.
Checking for installed Python... got it!

Then I'm clicking in this order -> File>Export>PyPRP>All as full age (.age)

I enlarge the bottom window on the right and see that the P button contains the path and I change that to a different location. The second line shows: FuncChk01.age and I next click on the Export . age button. I get the Check Console .... PyPRP error message. Oh yes, I don't see any other files with .age on it.

Now the console also reads:

In BPY_call_importloader(name=C:\Documents and Settings\Kell Five\Desktop\Tester Age\FuncChk01.age.log)
Exporting C:\Documents and Settings\Kell Five\Desktop\Tester Age\FuncChk01.age...
Args are e_age
['e', 'age']
Exporting age FuncChk01
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 171, in open_file
File "<string>", line 69, in export_age

File "C"\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts\alcspecialobjs.py", line 54, in __init__ self.book = bookscript.FindOrCreate ('age')
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute "FindOrCreate'

So, does anybody have a clue as to what's up with this? Maybe - I'm missing some files some where? Got the wrong path? My computer doesn't like me anymore? What? /me shrugs
