Did anyone ever figure out how to get the python programs to work, ie WW, and Real Skin?
Thanks

Also has anyone gotten the reference manual that's under the help in Poser Pro to work?

Nope.. and Nope

I would first look in the program folder and see what python.dll there is .

Poser 7 has python 24.dll
poser 5 has python22.dll

the python version might give a clue to what will run .

So since Poser Pro is just a plugin for Poser 7 I'm wondering why the python isn't working.

All Python was working last time I looked at it.

What exactly did you do and what are the results you see?

In your previous post you mentioned that the PDF help file did not load but you found it manually. This may point to incorrectly placed files.

I wont have time to look at this this morning but I will be double checking it this afternoon.

The most likely cause is that the Python version is different (based on the two things mentioned being compiled).

When you try to use them, what's the error message you get ?

This is what I get with the Real Skin Shader

Traceback (most recent call last):

    SkinShader = SkinShaderDlg(tk)

    self.tk.call(
_tkinter.TclError: ambiguous option "-col": must be -column, -columnspan, -in, -ipadx, -ipady, -padx, -pady, -row, -rowspan, or -sticky

And this is what I get with WW 2.0

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:Program Filese frontierPoser 7RuntimePythonposerScriptsPhilCWardrobe Wizard 2.0Wardrobe Wizard Menu.py", line 22, in ?

This is weird, went back to Poser 7 and ran WW 2.0 on a top and it came up with converting a pair of boots? lol

I installed Poser 7 to the default and also installed Poser 7 Pro to the default which is on C:

Poser Pro has the Python24.dll (same as Poser 7) and it was working here when I tried a couple of quick tests.  (Win XP Pro x64 / Q6800)

I found my real skin shaders did not work unless placed in the same directory as the Poser version running.  For example, I run Poser Pro but take objects from Poser7.  I could not use python scripts, at least the realism shaders, from the Poser7 directory, but they worked if I installed them in the Poser Pro directory.  Also I found that when in the Vista operating system you have to have UAC turned off for some of the realism shaders.  Apparently no matter where you install them (for example I have all Poser stuff on my D: drive) some scripts want to access the C: drive and UAC denies access.  I don't know if this helps, but it has been my experience so far.

Was going to try putting them in the Poser 7 Pro directory. Don't have Vista, been sticking with 64 Pro.
Thanks

Now if someone could come up with a solution in Vista for the open GL preview, I would be in Poser heaven with Poser Pro.  Also, has anyone else had stablity problems (sudden blank screen) with Poser Pro?  I'm not sure, but I think it is a Vista problem.

Didn't work, double checked and it is going to the right directory. Since Poser 7 uses the same python version I'm thinking I'm ok on that since it works in Poser 7. Also got the WW 2.0 to work but it still tries to convert a pair of shoes instead of the top, and no, shoes is not checked, regular clothing is.

Figured it out, had to go load the figure. Don't know if I like this, it is so much easier to just pick the top on the character I'm converting from. Does this mean you have to hunt an item up manually every time you want to convert something? Please tell me I'm wrong on this and that I'm going about it the wrong way.

Marque, sorry but I'm having a little difficulty following you. Wardrobe Wizard 2 converts the clothing or directory you have selected in the Wardrobe Wizard window. It will not make any difference what if anything is in the Poser preview window at that time.

Ahhh, just started using it and used to using the old one I guess, where you choose the item in the poser window and convert it.

I need to find out where to learn this new one because I'm not getting it AT all. Maybe I'm just too impatient or having a bad day here but I can't even find them once they are done. Don't you just have a simple walk through to follow?

Forgive me for being stupid but you used to be able to convert from ... then convert to the new character. Where is the command to convert it to the new character once the new character is loaded so she can wear the item? Read through the help file and didn't see it there.

Sorry still buffering, will go make some coffee and read some more.

An on screen video walk through is available at:-

An on screen video relating to morphs is available at:-

The general instructions are accessed by clicking the Wardrobe Wizard "Help" or if preferred you can view them on line at:-

Is there any way to print it out? Was trying but it only will print all of them on the same page. Thanks for your help and patience. Since I got home from the hospital I've been a bit scatterbrained.

The link is allowing me to print it...thanks!

PoserPro is not a plugin for Poser 7 - it's a new program.

Regarding Python - there is something about it in the PoserPro ReadMe:
*PoserPython scripts can make use of Tkinter to provide a GUI. Poser Pro ships with Tkinter 8.4. Scripts that were written for an earlier version of Tkinter might require adjustment. Please contact the author of your script for details.

*Poser 7 comes with Tkinter 8.3 - maybe that's the reason some scripts won't work. I have the same issue with the Real Skin shader and V3 Hyper Real although the V4Realism Kit works fine. *

The "V3HyperReal" can be edited to update it for Tk8.4 (global replace of "col=" with "column=" should do the trick) and the same may work for the "RealSkin" if it's just a script rather than being compiled.

The "V4RealismKit" is compiled, but uses Poser's built GUI stuff, which is why it's not affected.

Thank you :) I've edited the scripts and now they work fine in PoserPro :)

How did you edit them? I say poser plugin to try to differentiate betwn poser pro, poser 7 and poser pro...lol

You can open the script in a text editor and do a search/replace of "-col" to "-column"
Notepad will do the job, thoughI prefer TextPad or another programmer's editor.

By the way, the PoserPython help opens just fine from the Poser Pro menu in XP 64 bit and Vista 64 bit on my systems.

What svdl said: simply open the script in a text editor and do a search and replace :-)

adbkm

Mazak

Tried to edit them and there is no -col

Went in and tried to find the -col and such that the error window is talking about and under search and replace in both Edit Pad Pro and Notepad ++ could not find it to replace it in UnimeshRealismKit.py, RealSkinShader.py
Just won't use these in Poser Pro I guess.

V4 kit is working now for some reason but still can't get the others to work, so like I said won't use them for now, don't have time to mess with them, esp when the error tells me to do something and yet can't find what it wants me to replace.

No, don't do a search for -col but for col= and replace it with column=

Did that finding a lot of words like color and collapsed so search and replace would have totally messed it up.

Ok found them.....sheeesh not usually this dense, this has been a really rough couple of weeks for me for some reason. Thanks for being so patient!

Found all of those but still not working, need to give up for now it's getting too frustrating.

I installed everything from Poser 7 to Poser Pro in the default locations, so why isn't this working? This is really frustrating. If it was working I should be able to access the help file and I can't.

Even on my 64 bit system which only has Poser Pro installed in the default, and I am set up as Administrator on all my systems, still can't get the help file for poser pro to come up.

Same here.   The Poser Reference (not Poser Pro) starts OK, but that's not a huge amount of use, if it's information about Pro that is needed, and the PoserPython manual also comes up OK, but the Poser Pro Reference link seems dead to me.
