Looks good. Merged.

Sorry for the delay, I was gone for a couple of days. Well I tried removing ALL of the (< >) things and it still has the same error on the same line. Just to let you know the journal I am working on is named 'good_journal' I case this is an important thing. If you want to see my journal.py file here it is:

Code: Select all

Defgood_journal = '<font size=24 face=Uru color=221166><p align=left> This is just a test.'

And the GUI file:

There must be more. The error is in the PageDefs file. Can you post that one too?

Edit: Nevermind, you posted it in a previous post and the error is not in BookPages but in AgeBooks, which is not terminated by a }

It is an irritating habit of the compiler to show the line that comes after the error.

Thanks a bunch!

It was compiled and packed! Now I can see if my journal worked.

Thanks again,

NEWS FLASH!!!

I have realesed my age on the ULM (ulm.hbyte.net). But if you were to go there you would see an area that is still under construction. This is...........

The journal section. :cry:

I tried out my journal and when I got into my age, the journal was HUGE. By huge I mean blown up in height. And it was clickable but the Python file wouldn't open the journal up. My Pythonfile entry is pointed at the GUI .py file and I know that is right. This is what my python GUI file is:

Is there any deffinite problems in it? If you need any more information I can give it to you.

he he, you fell into the same trap I did, but worry its easy to fix.

Select your object in Blender that you have for the book
From the "Object menu" select "Clear/Apply" -> "Apply Scale/Rotation"

As for the journal not opening
Its probably something in the AlcScript, some thing simple like you added the .py extension in the script when you should have

Well the modeling is now correct and that works but still it doesn't open when I click. I DO get a hotspot when I click on the journal but it doesn't open.

Did you mean 'shouldn't have'?

Yes, my spelling mistake

Look for the error in the Python.0.elf file in your log folder. You will need an Elf viewer to open it.

And where can i get one of those? I tried searching for one and couldn't find it. The realriven URU Tweaks site has gone down. So I don't know where else to look. Clockwork Orange?
