Hey I’m having problems with a script
what does it mean when i get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ExportDTS.py", line 498, in ?
  File "ExportDTS.py", line 422, in process_objects
AttributeError: getLocation

thanks

getLocation is a method call in the blender210 api, so that script will probably just work in Blender 2.23, and probably not without some modifications.

Well, actually it is the other way around, it is only available in the new API (any version after 2.23). What Blender version are you using?

But on the other hand, knowing your work, it might have to do with the game-engine and you really mean getPosition()?

I have Blender versions 2.23-2.26 available. its a script that exports to an external file format dts.
I get different errors in each of the versions of blender

2.23

any sugestions?

Well, at least it seems to function in 225/226. So it might probably just be a bug in the script I guess.

edit: It might expect the model in a certain format? Maybe it can only export triangles or maybe you have some stray vertices somewhere, it looks like it maybe can’t find the third vertex of a face?

doh, sorry, my bad.

I had a few stray edges in my model somewhere that was causing the error, and it only works in 2.25,2.26
so thanks
I have one more question though. it doesn’t save the file, it runs, then the last line in the consol says its done, but when i try to find the file its no where to be seen…What would i look for in the code that would give me an idea why its not saving the file?

Thanks
Chuck

Well, there probably is something like:


file = open(name..)

I am not familiar with this script, any place I could download it to take a look?
