Finally got back to coding the precipitation script I started when 4 Pro came out, gave it up then in the hopes it would be built into 5. Also trying to get some AI into animated EcoSytem scripts. Both projects stuck again as I can't get them to work with HyperVue.

Can anyone confirm if scripts containing object translations e.g. waves.py or bouncing_sphere.py work with HyperVue? I now know you have to put in a call to set them as the startup script in order for HyperVue to find the script, but even so the cows don't seem to be aware which frame they're rendering.

I have asked e-on about this, but it desn't look like I'll get a response before Monday now, and I would like to get some work done on the scripts over the weekend.

I don't know if I did this right but I loaded the bouncing sphere.py and rendered it over a network and it came out fine and bouncie.

Well if it came out right, you must have done it right :)

Mine comes out like the link above shows. Definitely not right. If I could just figure out why... PS How many cows did you use, and was one on the same machine as Vue?

I used 3 cows including the one with vue installed. I know how frustrating these cows are. I've experienced so many crashes that I have a shortcut on the desktop on each pc just for restarting. Goodluck.

Just my two-cents- I've rendered using HyperVue on Four machines- one Athlon 64 and three P-III's, and had no problems at all. I haven't tried using any Py scripts yet... On networks, things that can help greatly is making sure your network cards support 100Mb (or more) transfer rates AND ALSO that your cables (if you aren't wireless) support 100 Mb--- MANY DO NOT- unless you have recently purchased the latest Category 5 (e) Lan Cables. It makes a BIG speed difference. (Wireless is much slower also- unless you have the newest and most expensive wirelesss gear...)

Well I'm totally foxed by this.

I did wonder if it was something to do with my home - 54 Mbps wireless - network being such a mixed bag; 1 Athlon 2000+ mobile running XP Pro, 1 Athlon 1600+ running W2K Pro and 1 P4 2.7 running XPMCE. Over the weekend I took Vue to my office and set up a farm over 5 identical P4 3 GHz - all running XP Pro SP2 - across a 100 Mbps Cat 5e LAN, and got the same results I got at home.

I have no problems if I don't run Python scripts, though sending textures to the cows seems to take a ridiculously long time on my wireless LAN, I give up!
