Hi!
I have downloaded the Walk 'o Matic python script, and I am trying to install it. I have put it in both /home/Aquila/.blender/scripts and /home/Aquila/.blender/scripts/bpymodules, but I am not able to find it in blender. When I open the “Scripts window”, only the pre-installed python-plugins are shown.
I hope someone can help me, thanks.
Maybe you should check that your blender is searching scripts from right place:
Help -> System -> System information
From there you can find directories. Mine looks like this:
Blender home dir:
/home/arihayri/programs/cvs-blender/build/linux2/bin/.blender
Default dir for scripts:
/home/arihayri/programs/cvs-blender/build/linux2/bin/.blender/scripts
Default “bpydata/” data dir for scripts:
/home/arihayri/programs/cvs-blender/build/linux2/bin/.blender/scripts/bpydata
Well, it wont open… It says that a text-file with all the content will open, ut I see no opened text-file.
Does somebody know what is wrong?
Try> sudo updatedb in a terminal window and also >update scripts in the blender python window. Update is at the top of the menu.
See if you installed the scripts as user or root. It may be a permissions issue. Check the scripts properties > permissions. Either right click on the script to find the properties (assuming you are using x.org for your desktop) or from a terminal window navigate to the directory and do> ls -al . It will give you the chown and chmod or chgrp info you need.
Navigate to the scripts directory and try> sudo gedit *.py in a terminal to see if your system text editor sees them. Try> gedit *.py as user and see if you can open the scripts.
HTH
Im not familiar with that script so, have you checked if it has the registering strings on top of the code? Compare it to other scripts to see what I mean… something like this:
#!BPY
“”"
Name: ‘3D Studio (.3ds)…’
Blender: 241
Group: ‘Export’
Tooltip: ‘Export to 3DS file format (.3ds).’
“”"
If it does not have that chunk of code, it will just no show on any menu… Its a long shot but maybe…
It seems that it has no registering strings like Mariano suggested. So just open it in Blender Text-editor and run with Alt-P.
btw. it seems that script doesn’t work with current cvs-blender.
Hello Kazur,
here’s a capture of blender as you can see on the top:
first step:the choose folder button, you go to the folder where you put your scripts (remember to add any new script in this folder)
then : rescan button to register any new scripts in your menus.
then take a look at your script menu as shown on picture… and enjoy.
I hope this will help.
