Is there any simple way to update old python scripts? I know that there may still be some incompatable aspects regarding the material room etc., but I was wondering if there was a way to at least fix the basics that prevent old scripts from running.

It depends on how old the scripts are.  A lot of the scripts needed to be modified to run in Poser 9/2012 if they were from earlier releases.  If they ran in Poser 9 but not 2014 then the only ones I believe had a problem if they made specific reference to Poser 9.

 

In any case most of the scripts now work in Poser 10/2014 so it might be an idea to specify the scripts you are having problems with.

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.

IIRC, script changes began in P8/PP2010 and, then again, in P9/PP2012 where they remained the same in P10/PP2014.  For the most part, compiled scripts (.pyc) are the files that need to be recompiled by the vendors.  The .py format appears to work in most versions without re-editing.

Does the script make use of Tkinter?

They do make use of Tkinter. Most of them are not compiled, but are from vendors which have disapeared, or are old freebies.

Hi - sorry to semi-hijack - Where do I put scripts in order for them to appear in PP 2014?

Copy them to the Poser Program runtime, in the Python/Poserscripts/ScriptsMenu Folder...

I just run the ordinary .py scripts from my old runtimes. Be it the Poser 4 original runtime or one of the newer. No problems with those.
