Re: custom toolbar under linux

2012-10-05 Thread Thomas Volkmann

I had this one a while back. Probably it's this:

Networkmanager is adding a line to /etc/hosts delete it or make it a
comment and everything runs as it should.
First line should start with 127.0.0.1 .

from this thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/xsi_list/fedora$20toolbar/xsi_list/_s3UIu2hC0A/nT04xMgscKkJ 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#%21searchin/xsi_list/fedora$20toolbar/xsi_list/_s3UIu2hC0A/nT04xMgscKkJ


A misconfigured /etc/host can also be the reason for core dumps on 
startup... I ran into this later :/



cheers,
Thomas

 I apologize for not communicating this earlier, but I was very close to
 committing to this project but after much thought and discussion I decided
 I need to stay focused on finishing up the game I am working on right now.
 The game has been over a year in the works and despite the appeal of
 turning the mocap connector into a proper product, I really can't let
 myself switch gears right now - I just have too much invested in the game
 and I need to get it done. I won’t release the mocap connector unless I can
 take the time finish it up properly and provide the necessary support for
 both the project itself and the people who would be using it, and I just
 can't do that right now. Hopefully I can revisit this project in the future
 because it isn’t really that far from where it needs to be, but I just
 can’t afford the time right now. I simply *must* to get this game done
 ASAP, really don’t have any choice in the matter. Sorry! I’ll review the
 state of similar products when my workload will afford it, and if it looks
 like it still makes sense to do I’ll bring it up again and see if anyone is
 still interested. 

 Thanks,

Not that I know of.
Does the addon extract itself properly? It did for me on 64-bit 2012 SAP,
and it showed up in the Plugin Tree (with an error, because I don't have
PyQT installed).

Assuming the addon extracts the files, what happens if you simply load the
plugin (Plugin Tree  Load) ?

Re: How to install the PyQt for Softimage.

2012-10-05 Thread Tim Crowson
You'll also need PyWin installed for your system Python. Without it, 
Softimage will revert to its own Python, even if you tell it otherwise. 
And for what it's worth, we have all this running great with 2.7.3.

Does the addon extract itself properly? It did for me on 64-bit 2012

Assuming the addon extracts the files, what happens if you simply load

Re: Installing AddOns Softimage 2012 SP1

2012-10-05 Thread Stefan Kubicek

Alan,

do you know how Python talks to Softimage on Linux? Afaik on Windows it's based 
on COM and the PyWin32 extensions,
but on Linux? I understand Softimage is run under MainWin, but does that 
include Python and PyWin32? If so, there might be a way. I'm currently looking 
into running Qt-based stuff in XSI using Python only (no C++), but it will 
definitely need the pyWin32 extensions for the mouse hooks.



That's a shame for people on Linux for which there is no public working
compile of the PyQtForSoftimage plugin. :/

- does the addon extract itself property (let's say you drag and drop the

- what happens if you try to load the .py file with Plugin Tree  Load?

also, what is logged in the script history?
and maybe ... what does Process Monitor show if you capture the events

Yes, pywin32 is present. Not sure how to approach the problem though.

 Alan,

 do you know how Python talks to Softimage on Linux? Afaik on Windows it's
 based on COM and the PyWin32 extensions,
 but on Linux? I understand Softimage is run under MainWin, but does that
 include Python and PyWin32? If so, there might be a way. I'm currently
 looking into running Qt-based stuff in XSI using Python only (no C++), but
 it will definitely need the pyWin32 extensions for the mouse hooks.


  That's a shame for people on Linux for which there is no public working
 compile of the PyQtForSoftimage plugin. :/

  None that I'm aware of, but afaik the latest multi-importer (1.14 as of

 Subject: Installing AddOns Softimage 2012 SP1

 Using Softimage 2012 SP1 64 on Win 7 64 bit here. I came across a couple
 of really handy xsiaddons but cannot seem to get them going.

 The first was Tim Crowson’s multi-importer tool here:
 http://dynamiclens.com/wordpress/?page_id=750http://dynamiclens.com/**wordpress/?page_id=750
 http://**dynamiclens.com/wordpress/?**page_id=750http://dynamiclens.com/wordpress/?page_id=750
 


 The next was meshpaint by Piotrek Marczak here:

 http://vimeo.com/47094105

 I have tried to install them via drag and drop to the interface but they
 don’t show up in the menu. I uninstalled, rebooted Soft and then tried
 FileAddonInstall and pointed to the file that way, installing to the
 User
 Addons directory. I see them installed in there but they still don’t
 show
 in the menus back in Softimage.

 Uninstalled them and tried to install via Plugin Manager  by right
 clicking the User Root and installing xsiaddon that way. Same deal. See
 them there in : C:\Users\Wayne Williams\Autodesk\Softimage_
 2012_SP1\Addons

 but still won’t show up in the interface.

 Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong here??

Re: Installing AddOns Softimage 2012 SP1

2012-10-05 Thread Stephen Blair
For the PPG version, if you go into Plugin Manager  Items, and set the
Filter to User Addons (or wherever you installed the addon), does the
Multi_Importer_Menu item show up?)

As a test, try changing the RegisterMenu call to put the item in the
siMenuMainHelpID menu, and see if that shows up?

Did you try temporarily renaming your User folder, to make sure it's not
some weird conflict with something else?

  It does appear in the User Folder upon installing.  When I try to load
 the .py file from the Plugin TreeLoad nothing shows up in the FileImport
 menu (this is for the ppg version of Tim’s multi importer.) I will go ahead
 and install the python stuffs to see if I can get it going that way and
 will report back! Thanks for all your help guys.

 Ok. I guess I'd still ask the same two questions:
 - does the addon extract itself property (let's say you drag and drop the
 addon file, does it get extracted in your User folder
 - what happens if you try to load the .py file with Plugin Tree  Load?

 also, what is logged in the script history?
 and maybe ... what does Process Monitor show if you capture the events
 generated by install the xsiaddon file?

 Does the addon extract itself properly? It did for me on 64-bit 2012 SAP,
 and it showed up in the Plugin Tree (with an error, because I don't have
 PyQT installed).

 Assuming the addon extracts the files, what happens if you simply load the
 plugin (Plugin Tree  Load) ?

It is a coding error in a C++ program, it likely isn't an install

It's possible to have it working in linux, but it's a different approach
(that's I'm not too much aware of). I *think* using the CDH is mandatory,
or at least need a custom pyqt integration to work. It's still not perfect

Re: Runtime Error R6025

Yes agree with Eric in the separate workgroup and plugins...

We received quite afew crashed scenes which are often caused by 3rd party 
plugins, addons and compounds... Hence it's always better to design a workgroup 
for scalability and extensibility.

Just a note, you might want to try to split some of those things out into 
separate groups.

It can help you to troubleshoot later.

You don't have everything installed in one giant workgroup do you?

It is a coding error in a C++ program, it likely isn't an install
error.  If it is crashing in Softimage, it is a Softimage error.  If
it is crashing in Arnold it is an Arnold error.  It may also be
another third party plugin that is causing this.  You can try to work
around it by changing how you are doing things and then hopefully the
erroneous code will be avoided...
