packp3d Problem

CYBorg · December 10, 2011, 8:28pm

I run a game >ppython main.py
and it runs but I get errors (sounds like prior post Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2011 7:26 am Post subject: issue with gsg reference count?)

after closing the game the command window shows

C:\game>ppython main.py
DirectStart: Starting the game.

Then when I try to packp3d the game packp3d dies with the following:

Pack3d worked on Roaming Ralph sample program.

Are the two issues related?

drwr · December 11, 2011, 4:06pm

These two issues are not related. The first one is largely an ignorable warning.

The second issue is a known issue with packp3d, and is probably due to your having one or more .py files within a subdirectory that does not also contain a init.py file. This confuses packp3d.

CYBorg · December 11, 2011, 5:41pm

Does moving the modules up to the top directory fix it?

drwr · December 11, 2011, 7:58pm

That should also fix it.

CYBorg · December 15, 2011, 12:01am

I am not getting any log in user/…
is there a setup issue or something I need to do?
packp3d does give me the following

ackager(warning): No such file: /c/game-1.7.2-2/game2/p3d_info.xml

drwr · December 15, 2011, 2:38am

What do you mean “not getting any log”? Have you found the Panda3D directory? If you’ve found it, does it contain a “log” subdirectory? If it does, does it contain any files?

David

CYBorg · December 15, 2011, 7:55am

I have files in a directory C:\Panda3D-1.7.2
and C:\Program Files (x86)\Panda3D

I can run the program with >python main.py but when I >packp3d -o test.p3d and click on test.p3d the window opens then dies with no errors I can see.

I can not find a log folder.

From the pasckp3d messages all I see for errors is
ackager(warning): No such file: /c/game-1.7.2-2/game/p3d_info.xml

ognjenk · December 15, 2011, 8:46am

I am guessing you are on Windows, so when you execute p3d your runtime directory will be something like c:\Users[your_username]\AppData\Local\Panda3D\

There you can find log directory and check files inside it.

Also, when you pack your application you have to explicitly name some of the non-standard file extensions (so *.py files will be packaged by default, but *.xml files will not). Use -n xml switch when you package your app.

CYBorg · December 15, 2011, 9:16am

Sorry no such directory? David, can you shed any light on why the game runs using >python main.py and not using packp3d? It occurs to me that all the parameters, restrictions (eg. no py files in sub directories, no .egg files in loads, etc.) indicate the packp3d program is not as well written as python.
Is it an evolving program?

drwr · December 15, 2011, 6:48pm

A p3d file is a very different environment then a development Python environment. These things that are different are different by design, to allow the magic things that p3d files can do: you can give a p3d file to another user and it is entirely self-contained, including all your code and models; and he can run the same file on Linux, Mac, or Windows; and you can even embed it on a web page and run it in a web environment, even in a “secure” environment such as IE provides in UAC mode.

These differences have some impact on your code structure, though, and it does mean it’s possible to write a program that runs in the development Python environment but doesn’t run in the p3d file. This doesn’t mean that something’s broken in the p3d system, it just means that you haven’t followed the strict rules precisely, and you need to figure out what it is that your program’s doing that’s not the right way to do it in the p3d file.

But you haven’t told us what your program’s doing that’s not working, so there is no way we can help you figure out what’s wrong.

You also haven’t found the log directory yet. I assure you it exists. It’s not in C:\Panda3D-1.7.2 or in C:\Program Files (x86)\Panda3D ; there’s another directory called Panda3D, which is in the directory c:\Users[your_username]\AppData\Local\Panda3D, as ognjenk described. This directory must exist or you wouldn’t be able to run packp3d at all. Since you say you can run packp3d, it follows that the AppData\Local\Panda3D folder really does exist. It might be a hidden folder, though; Windows likes to hide the AppData\Local folder from naive users. Type it in anyway.

OK, it was hidden.
Error is

from pandac.PandaModules import EggData, Point3

ognjenk · December 15, 2011, 8:13pm

You need to use the -r egg switch in packp3d command line to include EggData as per this manual page:

CYBorg · December 15, 2011, 9:12pm

Seems that if you are using an egg file with packp3d, finding the egg file or any png files for a model are difficult to locate. Does the config.prc file need some change or setup to locate the models in a sub directory, or does everything need to be in the app file?

So per the manual,
If you want to keep some of your egg files as they are, without converting them to bam files, you must use the more advanced ppackage utility to create your p3d file.

Do I need to use ppackaqge to use an egg file?

drwr · December 15, 2011, 9:22pm

Egg files are automatically converted to bam files as part of the packp3d process (bam files are about 1/10 the size of the equivalent egg files, so you almost never really want to ship egg files).

To load a model in code for pack3d, simply don’t specify the extension. Use loader.loadModel(‘EnergyBar’) instead of loader.loadModel(‘EnergyBar.egg’). The Python runtime will understand you to mean ‘EnergyBar.egg’, while the p3d runtime will understand you to mean ‘EnergyBar.bam’.

Almost complete, I am getting an audio error and a common filter error. For audio messages I tried adding -r audio to packp3d and changed config.prc to these two lines
load-display pandagl
aux-display pandadx9

Try using -r fmod instead of -r audio for now. I think the 1.7.2 version of the Panda3D runtime didn’t provide a good OpenAL for Windows.

David

CYBorg · December 16, 2011, 4:18pm

That seems to fix the audio issue.

Any ideas on the filters problem. Can packp3d load a bam file as in model.bam ? As in textures added to an egg model to get a combined bam?

drwr · December 16, 2011, 6:03pm

I don’t know what’s going on with the CommonFilters error, but the error message implies that base.cam was not open on a DisplayRegion of base.win. I don’t know why that would be so. Perhaps you created the CommonFilters before the window had been opened? I haven’t experimented with putting this in a p3d file.

This doesn’t have anything to do with loading a bam file or its textures, which works fine.
