I can no longer get my Python scripts that I installed to work. They were working fine a day ago.

Only scripts located under Poser 7RuntimePythonposerScriptsScriptsMenu will appear in the Poser Scripts menu.

I notice that you have a folder Poser 7RuntimePythonposerScriptsPhilC and yet there is no PhilC listing in the Scripts menu either. This would appear to indicate that you have not installed those correctly. Did you simply copy/paste from a previous version of Poser?

Can you please tell us a little more about how you have installed the scripts and what is the exact result of running them?

Thanks.

Your scripts (Wardrobe Wizard) I purchased when I was using Poser 6. I lost the installer and just moved them into the same coresponding folder in Poser 7 but that obviously didn't work.

So, in answer to your question, yes I simply copy/pasted from a previous version of Poser. But the funny thing is, they were running a couple of days ago. I made the switch over a year ago.

I don't know, I don't use Poser all that often.

If you would like to email me with your purchase information I'll set up new download links for you. If you do not have the full transaction details I can usually find the record just from your real name.

Poser 7 uses a newer version of Python to Poser 6 so any compiled script will produce a "bad magic number" error.

If VSS was under ScriptsMenu it probably would appear, as Phil says. Same with the others.

VSS doesn't add things to the scripts menu - its adds buttons to the Python Window.

 

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

OK, I got them working. Now that you mention the Python window, I recalled that I had to open the Python window first.

You know, when you dabble in so many apps, you forget the simplest things. I call it apphiemerz syndrome.

My bad. This thread should never have been started.
