Does anyone have the code for this? The download link is broken.

42

i have fixed the download links in the first post.

43

Thank you Hypnos!

Do you mind if I modify your code so that it runs in a standard GUI window (QT/Gtk/etc) and release as open source?

44

that’s fine for me. i’ve tried encapsulating the gui from the code as much as possible, so it shouldnt be possible.

Hey,

When I try to run the code i get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 8, in <module>
    console = pandaConsole( INPUT_CONSOLE|INPUT_GUI|OUTPUT_PYTHON|OUTPUT_IRC, locals() )
  File "C:\Panda3D-1.6.2\pandac\interactiveConsole\interactiveConsole.py", line 30, in __init__
    self.panda3dConsole = panda3dIOClass( self )
  File "C:\Panda3D-1.6.2\pandac\interactiveConsole\panda3d.py", line 72, in __init__
    fixedWidthFont = loader.loadFont(self.font)
  File "C:\Panda3D-1.6.2\direct\showbase\Loader.py", line 432, in loadFont
    raise IOError, message
IOError: Could not load font file: data/interactiveConsole/vera.ttf

EDIT: Never mind I figured out how to fix it

46

I’m having the same problem, how did you fix it?

P.s. - I had to download 2.1.8, so I just load 2.2 over it? 2.2 only contains the interactiveConsole folder.

47

The error has to do with a missing font. It’s looking for “data/interactiveConsole/vera.ttf” which doesn’t exist.

To solve this problem, go into the “shared.py” file and find the “PANDA3D_CONSOLE_FONT” variable and change the value to “/c/Windows/Fonts/arial.ttf”

so it should look like this:

PANDA3D_CONSOLE_FONT = "/c/Windows/Fonts/arial.ttf"

Hope this helps.

Tried what you said also, and I also verified that the font was there, but still it’s coming out with an error…

Any idea why?

Treeform detailed that the font needed to be corrected

c/WINDOWS/Fonts/arial.ttf

So that was the last part of the fix. Thanks guys!

I’d like to try this console, but the instructions on importing it seem not to match what’s in the v2.2 download. I have tried various things, but keep getting import errors. Can anyone enlighten me?

there you go

Sweet thanks!

I had to make two changes in order for the test-application to work:

p = pandaConsole(INPUT_GUI, OUTPUT_PYTHON)

should be

p = pandaConsole(INPUT_GUI | OUTPUT_PYTHON)

in main.py, and

  def __init__( self, interfaces=INPUT_GUI|INPUT_CONSOLE|OUTPUT_PYTHON|OUTPUT_IRC, localsEnv=globals ):

should be

  def __init__( self, interfaces=INPUT_GUI|INPUT_CONSOLE|OUTPUT_PYTHON|OUTPUT_IRC, localsEnv=globals() ):

in interactiveConsole.py - (parenthesis after globals were missing)
