Chicken export error in Windows

Pipeline

Hi!

I’m new to Panda3D but not I have a little experience with game programming. I’m trying to export a typical model, the one found here:

e2-productions.com/repository/mo … =1&lid=274

I get this error when the script crashes:

Configuring chicken, script is C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation
\Blender\.blender\scripts\bpydata\chicken/chicken_config.py
C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts\chick
en_exportR85.py
Settings for export not found. Using defaults.

  File "chicken_exportR85.py", line 1016, in __init__
    filename = texSpec[0].tex.getImage().getFilename()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getFilename'

I hope you can help me out here, please.

Thank you very much!

That model uses packed textures - you need to unpack them to files on the hardrive. This is because panda needs to get at the textures, which is only possible if they are saved as a file, using a format it can load, i.e. png for instance. That error message should probably be a bit better though…

Thank you very much, that was the problem. Like you said, the script shouldn’t thrown an exception, it should tell the problem.

Again, thanks!
