am I understanding correctly that you can not use any of the scripts used in Poser 6 in Poser 7?

Thanks

awwwww man don't say that..lol

I hope that's not the case.  Eep.

The version of Python used by P7 was updated, right?  That, in itself, doesn't mean older scripts will be broken.  There's generally backward-compatibility.  I would say it depends on whether they changed any of the PoserPython commands or functions....  Unless they changed Poser's internal Poser handling, I would expect most scripts to keep working.

Eep. 

Puppet Master Quadruped,  Wardrobe Wizzard, OBJ2CR2,  Poser Tools all give me an error as well :(   These are my most used scripts.

Same here. Sigh.

philC was saying that all his programs that used compiled (pyc) files will have to be recompiled for P7's new version of python.

from what i understand if it is a py file it should work. but no guarintees.

Do we need to update to a newer version of python as well and if we do I wonder if it will still work with poser 6?
Oh the trials and tribulations of being a poserholic!  lol

No th eauthors need to recompile and test the scripts for P7.. it sounds like all will convert over fine, but everyone wants to test them a few days before unleashing possibly  buggy scripts.

I have tested both the Unimesh Realism Kit & Occlusion Master in Poser 7 & both worked fine.

Will we recieve updates when the products have been recompiled and such?  I use the Real Skin Shader and Wardrobe Wizard extensively.  Thank goodness I did not get a nasty surprise!  I haven't gotten P7 yet.

Storm have you tested WW yet? I will try the realism kits now. Didn't bother when the ww script didn't work but you never know.   lol

Sorry, I don't have WW.

Just tested the realism scripts and they work great. Thanks for the tip wouldn't have tried it if you hadn't said something. 

the deprecation warning is saying that a function has been replaced with something newer. They provide a warning so you update scripts before the function is obsoleted and removed .

Happens all the time as languages evolve.

It looks from the comments here that the script providers will need to update their programs for the new python version.

I think I've posted this to every Poser 7 / Python thread ... but you guys keep starting new ones :)

OK .....

Yes Poser 7 uses a newer version of Python. Most PY files will run, some will require adjustment as noted above because a few of the old methods are replaced by newer ones.

All scripts using PYC files must be updated. If you use a script that calls for a PYC file you'll probably get an error saying that the "magic number is wrong". Most of my python scripts fall into this category.

Generally not a big deal. The script's author will need to recompile in Poser 7 and issue an update. I have pretty much got all mine done together with all related Poser 7 support files. I'm waiting for the initial Poser 7 release dust to settle then will be asking a few folks to double check them (probably Friday) ready for general release (probably Monday).

All my Poser 7 updates will be free.

Remember to actually copy the python scrips over to Poser 7's Python folder. Loading them from the Poser 6 runtime (or elsewhere) CAN give unsuspected errors.

Quote - I haven't ran too many scripts, but if you run face_offs' Real Skin Shader in Poser 7 you will get the message as displayed in the image. What it means I haven't a clue as I don't write python scripts. However since P7 has just come out I'm sure sooner or later everything will work out and problems will be solved.

I got that too, but the script stil worked.  P6 realism script here.

Yes I was still able to run it and it worked ok. I just get the message each use.

Regarding the RealSkinShader depreciation warning - it is just a warning and the script still runs fine.  To get rid of the warning, simply edit the RealskinShader.py file, and change "whrandom" to "random".

As Phil said, anything compiled need updating, so the current version of PoserPhysics will not run with P7, however I have a new version in testing which runs on both P6 and P7, which will hopefully be available in the next week or so.

Awesome! Thanks face_off!

Will we get a message about the poser physics or should I just check to see if there's a new version?
Thanks,
Marque

A PoserPhysics update came out some time ago.

Hi PhilC,

I have considered to buy your python for poser.
If I use Poser 5, could I run your python without problem?
If there are problems, what should I do?

Thanks in advance
:)

Which script?
All mine will clearly say which versions of Poser they will run in.

I see. Thank you for information.

Found it thanks!
