P3D compiling for Windows

voarsh · October 26, 2014, 3:19pm

Hello.

I am trying to compile My Panda3D program using P3D utility.

I have to use my Panda3D-1.9.0 version since it is a fork and includes Astron Networking.

I have tried other version of Panda and get the same results.

I am trying the following:

C:\Panda3D-1.9.0\direct\p3d>packp3d -o toontownworld.p3d -d c:/toontownworld -m start_game_localhost.bat

The .BAT file loads the login and Python Path and then opens another PY file. This file is where the launcher starts.

Here is the error:

Someone else just asked almost the exact same question:

Two issues:
(1) packp3d cannot find the location of your “toontown” package. One way to solve this is to copy the “toontown” directory into the game directory.
(2) you can’t pass a .bat file to the -m option. It has to be a Python file.

I would also advise running packp3d from the c:/toontownworld directory.

voarsh · October 26, 2014, 3:41pm

Hi.

Thanks for replying.

Can I try turning the .bat into a .py file?

The folders are: Toontown and Resources (graphical assets)
Inside Toontown is necessary files like the code, and other bits.

I do not know what you mean by “copy the “toontown” directory into the game directory”
Here are screenshots of the folder structure:

voarsh · October 26, 2014, 3:52pm

Hi.

I moved toontown (inside ToontownInfiniteRetro) into the root.
I created a .py file for start_game_localhost.bat and placed it in the root.

See screenshot, and I got an error:

That all really depends on the exact structure and what the .bat file does.

If you have a very complicated set-up, it might be worth it to use the more advanced ppackage tool where you can specify the directories to include (and how to rename them) via instructions in a .pdef file. It also allows you to set sys.path such that ppackage can find the location of the nested packages.

Keep in mind that packp3d/ppackage build against an official build of Panda3D 1.8, rather than a custom SDK build (such as one built with Astron).

voarsh · October 26, 2014, 4:08pm

Hi,

The game will not run without Astron components inside Panda.

I am not familiar with ppackage. I had a look at the help, I couldn’t make much sense of it.

I might need to play around with it. :\

funnybear465 · November 3, 2014, 5:01am

Batch files and python files are of different languages, so the only way you could turn the .bat into a .py would be to translate the code yourself, or somehow make a python file that executes the batch file. Unfortunately, I don’t know exactly how to do that, so you would have to figure that out on your own.

EDragon205 · November 10, 2014, 5:32am

voarsh, here’s how I compile my programs into p3d files:

Create a folder on your desktop or any other area on your computer you can easily access.
Put all of your files you are using in the program (code files, models, png images, custom libraries you import (such as your toontown libraries), etc) in the folder.
Open the command prompt. You can find it by opening your start menu and typing ‘cmd’ in the search bar. Or, you can open windows explorer, and in the navigation bar type ‘cmd’ and the command prompt will automatically open.
In the command prompt, cd to the directory you created in step 1. If you don’t know how, here are a few simple steps:

Let’s say the path to my directory is ‘C:\Users\user\Desktop\Game Directory’.
I would type this in the command prompt:

cd "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Game Directory"

You can also type ‘cd’ in the command prompt, then click and drag the folder you created in set 1 into the command prompt.

Now type ‘packp3d’ in the command prompt. You can access all of packp3d’s features by typing:

packp3d -h

Now give the proper tags in the packp3d command. Let’s say the file that launches the whole program is called ‘launcher.py’. We would clarify the name of the file by giving it the -m tag in the command prompt:

packp3d -m launcher.py

You MUST give your command the -o tag. This names the p3d file you want to generate, so if you wanted it to be ‘program.p3d’:

packp3d -m launcher.py -o program.p3d

If you decided not to cd to the directory for some reason, you don’t have to start all over. Simply give the command the -d tag. This tag will cd to the given directory in the command:

packp3d -m launcher.py -o program.p3d -d "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Game Directory\"

That should be about it! Press enter and packp3d will generate your p3d file. Good luck
