Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 02 3:16 pm)

We now have a ProPack Section in the Poser FreeStuff.
Check out the new Poser Python Wish List thread. If you have an idea for a script, jot it down and maybe someone can write it. If you're looking to write a script, check out this thread for useful suggestions.

Also, check out the official Python site for interpreters, sample code, applications, cool links and debuggers. This is THE central site for Python.

You can now attach text files to your posts to pass around scripts. Just attach the script as a txt file like you would a jpg or gif. Since the forum will use a random name for the file in the link, you should give instructions on what the file name should be and where to install it. Its a good idea to usually put that info right in the script file as well.

I was referred over to this forum for what I feel I need to enhance my Poser 7 usage.

Basically, the need for a meta-level method to swap, or better yet hot-swap ( but Poser 7 wouldn't stand for it), the LibraryPrefs.xml file itself, among various versions specifying different library compositions.

Please see referenced thread above.

Wow ! You have a lot of runtimes !

With ShaderWorks, you can add all runtimes located in one folder. So if you have an "Environnement" folder containing all the environnements runtime, you could add all them at once.

But... this is a really easy thing to code. If the above trick isn't sufficient, I could do a "Library Manager" module to my ShaderWorks, that would allow to select your LibararyPrefs file.

But, for now, you won't find a Python solution (or I don't know it). The LibraryPrefs is loaded at startup and, even if it's modified, it automatically replace the modified file with the original one.

Yes, semidieu !  LibraryPrefs manager !  Go for it !

I understand about the Poser loading only the default LibraryPrefs.xml.  So the management of the several different LibraryPrefs.xml files will have to happen outside of the Poser environment.

Looking forward to what you can come up with.

Cheers

I'll do something like that as soon as possible. I'm really busy now, but as soon as I have some time (I have some holidays next week), I should find the time to do something like that !
