panda3d and linux

[unkier]

i want to try mv3d in linux with panda3d. what should i do ?

[SirGolan]

I just became aware this morning that the Linux Client Install wiki page seems to pre-date Panda support and doesn't mention support fo it at all. I'm looking to remedy that right now (at least as far as I can while not sitting in front of a Linux box). If you are on Ubuntu, this should get you the dependencies:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -s install python python-twisted python-pyode python-wxgtk2.8


Add in python-cjson if you are running on Python 2.5. The only other dependency you need is Panda. You can download that from the Panda site.

Someone in the IRC channel got it going pretty quickly this morning with pretty much the same instructions from me, so it should work.

To run a local server, you'll just need to run the Overseer gui tool. You should be able to do that following the instructions for starting your own server. Here's the command-line for starting up Overseer:

Code: Select all

mike@server:~/mv3d/trunk$ cd mv3d/tools/overseer
mike@server:~/mv3d/trunk/mv3d/tools/overseer$ python overseer.py


Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions or feel free to stop by our IRC channel, #MV3D on irc.freenode.net.

Thanks!

Mike

Hi guys,

That RemoteException stuff looks like it will only work correctly in Python 2.6. I'll get that fixed asap (tonight [GMT-5] at the latest).

unkier:

The error you are seeing seems like the renderer is configured incorrectly in client.conf. Check out the wiki page on Configuring Panda. Let me know if that helps.

I'll make sure to update here when the RemoteException bug is fixed.

Thanks,

Mike

[SirGolan]

Ok, so I fixed that issue and gave you guys an added bonus: the initialize button in Overseer now creates a Panda3D world! Granted, this is a very tiny world (just a ground plane and a single character), but it's something to get you started. Update your SVN and you should get this.

Thanks,

Mike

[SirGolan]

Also, I should point out, that MV3D is currently only tested on Python 2.5 and 2.6, so ymmv on 2.7. I'll try and get a builder up for that (and a few other OSes) soonish so we can add to the list of officially supported OSes and Python versions.

: SirGolan - Thanks Alot!! Its all running very nice now... Used this and without any problems It started!.

Code: Select all

acer@acer-tech:~/Projects/MV3D/trunk/mv3d/tools/overseer$ python overseer.py

Thanks for the Help and the quick fix... Thumbs UP!!

: unkier - ok with your first error

i am using archlinux and python 2.7
here is what i got

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mv3d/tools/overseer/overseer.py", line 65, in <module>

On the Client side I added this to my client.conf located in the "trunk" folder. This is mine. CHECK under player!.

Code: Select all

[Player]
type=mv3d.client.player.PlayerClient
# This is the list of available servers to connect to.
# It is also the list that shows up in the connect dialog
servers=pb://alpha.mv3d.com:1999/Player,pb://localhost:1999/Player
# Auto-connect options.
# When enableld, autoConnect will automatically connect to a server
#autoConnect=True
# define which server to connect to (starting with 0 for the first server listed
# under "servers" above
ac-server=0
# The default credentials to use. This is also the initial values in the connect dialog
defaultLogin=admin:pass
# If specified, a pc with this name is automatically connected to upon login
#defaultPC=admin 0
renderer=mv3d.client.ui.panda.PandaRenderer # Here I added this line to it!

and then to run it i used this

Code: Select all

acer@acer-tech:~/Projects/MV3D/trunk$ python ./RunClient.py

PS. Make sure you did all of this except for the Ogre part . http://www.mv3d.com/trac/wiki/LinuxClientInstall
I used this to install all mine

Code: Select all

apt-get install python python-dev python-pyode python-cjson subversion python-wxgtk2.8 cvs cmake g++ bjam autoconf automake libtool libxaw7-dev libfreetype6-dev libboost-dev libpcre3-dev scons libzzip-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libfreeimage-dev libxrandr-dev libglu-dev

with the login error you get? well I'll be trying that now since i only got my server to run now after the fix, but i think you should edit the settings.
1. http://www.mv3d.com/trac/wiki/StartYourOwnServer
2. You will have to go check the manual i can't find it, but its shows you how to set the setting so that you set it up local if you want that? for the Online thing you will have to get the ogre client because the panda3d client won't work on the server that is online.. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG
