WinXP: Music not playing; stderror has plenty of output.

[pheonixstorm]

they were never needed before. Don't know what changed in the code that would require all these new files.

[Maxaxle]

So is there something specific I should do, like redownloading the stable release and merging the SVN with it?

[pheonixstorm]

No, these are python specific files. I haven't been feeling well lately so haven't really looked for the additional files. You can grab a zipped up copy of python 2.7 and pick out the files you need though. Would be quicker than waiting for me at this point.

Well, what files what I need?

[pheonixstorm]

In your stderr.txt file look for the line reading

Code: Select all

ImportError: No modeule named...

Find what is missing from the python package until you get whatever else may be missing. If you can post the missing modeules as well so we can correct this. In the last post you mae it was
_abcoll
warnings

I am hoping those are the last two you will need to find.

[Maxaxle]

Seems that both of those are missing from py27_modules, and it seems that those are the only two missing modules.

[Maxaxle]

...Can I get some help with this?

[pheonixstorm]

As I said before they were not included in the python27 file in SVN since they were never needed before now. You should have grabbed a zip python file from python.org to get them

Anyway, here are the two files.

Sorry, I thought they were VS-specific files (as opposed to something I could get on, say, python.org). I'll try them out now.

EDIT: Apparently the game is expecting me to have a full Python27 installation on my C:\ drive, so says stderr.txt:

[klauss]

Don't edit to post updates, unless you do it really quick (ie: within 5 minutes of your post), because edits don't show up as new posts, and people won't even know to check this thread then.

Aside from that, I don't think python expects the files to be in C:, it just happens to find them there. Having them unzipped in ""E:\Games\Vegastrike52\modules\builtin" should be enough.

That said, it's all python builtins the ones that seem missing, which is odd.

Here's what I'll do. I'll fire up VS (in linux), and make it print out a list of modules loaded. That should tell us which modules are needed, and then we can build a complete zip for windows.

[Maxaxle]

Great timing with the post; I was on vacation this week, just got back about an hour or two ago.

I'm going to guess all of those are generic Python modules? If it is, I'll just go get them.

[klauss]

Yes, they are. I removed all the ones that weren't.

[Maxaxle]

Okay, the game works!

PROS:
-Music is working as intended.
-Chatter works.
-Battle-damage-noises work as intended, and once I heard the explosion of my own Llama.
-Menus work.
-Zero graphical glitches, and the tutorial 'bot seems to talk along with his subtitles, mostly (instead of talking at an impossible rate).
CONS:
-I can't hear my weapons firing.
-Despite my F:\ drive being the one with Windows on it, I had to install Python 2.7 to the C:\ drive.
-Just before launching, I noticed that my Llama's shields were visible. Weird.

That's weird.

-Despite my F:\ drive being the one with Windows on it, I had to install Python 2.7 to the C:\ drive.

That too, but I'll have to defer to the windows gurus here. It might be an issue with how python's dll is built for windows.

-Just before launching, I noticed that my Llama's shields were visible. Weird.

I do see that as well. Some bug with the shader technique. I'll eventually fix it (before the next release hopefully)
