Error Message when doing the tutorial from the Panda Manual

Compiling or Editing the Panda Source
1

Hey all,

The code I’m using:

import direct.directbase.DirectStart
 
#Load the first environment model
environ = loader.loadModel("models/environment")
environ.reparentTo(render)
environ.setScale(0.25,0.25,0.25)
environ.setPos(-8,42,0)
#Run the tutorial
run()

The error message I get when trying to run this code:

C:\Panda3D-1.6.2\shard>python testrun.py
DirectStart: Starting the game.

    raise IOError, message

Can someone please help me figure out what is going on?

Maybe your Panda installation got corrupt somehow? Does the file C:\Panda3D-1.6.2\models\environment.egg exist? (It might have .egg.pz extension, dunno)

Yes it does exist:

C:\Panda3D-1.6.2\models\environment.egg.pz

I just noticed something…

I have ‘enviroment’.

The correct spelling is ‘environment’. >.>;

Sorry!

It it working now that I have the correct spelling.
