Windows Client Installation

[multiverseuser]

Hello,

I saw this project and I thought it was great. I tried the instructions
for setting up the client side but I have not been able to do a RunClient.py succesfully.

I installed :
python 2.4.4
twisted 8.0.1
pycrypto 2.0.1
zope 2.10.5
pyode 1.2.0
pyopenssl 0.7a2
OpenAL

I installed zope but i get the following error:

F:\mv3d-0.3>RunClient.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\mv3d-0.3\RunClient.py", line 22, in ?
from twisted.internet import reactor
File "F:\Python24\lib\site-packages\twisted\internet\reactor.py", line 11, in
?
from twisted.internet import selectreactor
File "F:\Python24\lib\site-packages\twisted\internet\selectreactor.py", line 1
7, in ?
from zope.interface import implements
ImportError: No module named zope.interface

Also, I tried to install JSON but I'm not sure what command to use.

I have python-ogre for python 2.5 but 2.4.
Where can I get python-ogre for python 2.4?

I'm down to three issues to installing the client, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I actually just went through this yesterday on windows. I wasn't able to find a version of Python-Ogre that worked with 2.4 unfortunately, so I ended up upgrading to 2.5. I have all the installers around, so how about if I put them up in the download section today?

By the way, there is a separate install for zope.interface (though maybe the zope install comes with it, I don't know). It is available here, but of course, not for python 2.5 (in a windows compiled form). I'll add the 2.5 zope interface installer to the download section in a bit and will post again here to let you know.

Thanks!

Ok, you should be able to download all the prereqs except Python and Python-Ogre from this link. I didn't include Python-Ogre as it's a larger file (50mb). However, you can just download this version.

I know there has to be a version of Python-Ogre that works with Python 2.4 and MV3D 0.3 since that's what I had on my laptop. I just can't seem to find it either, though. It's possible they removed it from their site.

Thanks for the files,
I had to download win32OpenSSl-0_9_8g.exe from OpenSSl because of a missing "libeasy.dll"

The next challenge was configuring the resources.cfg. It was pointing to L:\project....
My next error is this:

C:\multiverse>RunClient.py
server MV3D Client initialization successful.
Traceback (most recent call last):

my windows folder structure is:

C:\multiverse\media
c:\multiverse\mv3d\client

For some reason it is looking in
C:\multiverse\mv3d-0.3\mv3d-0.3\mv3d

I do not have a mv3d-03\mv3d folder

Any suggestions? Do I need to recompile something?
or change a cfg file

Thanks,

Hello,

I re-fetched the code from and I was able to get a little further.

C:\multiverse3d>RunClient.py
server MV3D Client initialization successful.

File "C:\multiverse3d\mv3d\client\ui\ogre3d.py", line 142, in initialize
raise Exception("Couldn't find a valid render system")
Exception: Couldn't find a valid render system



The error now is: Couldn't find a valid render system.

I'm pretty sure I know what's causing that. You'll need a plugins.cfg file (in the same directory as RunClient.py). This tells Ogre where to look for its dlls. Here's what mine looks like:

Code: Select all

# Defines plugins to load

# Define plugin folder
PluginFolder=E:\progra~1\PythonOgre\plugins

# Define D3D rendering implementation plugin
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL.dll
Plugin=Plugin_ParticleFX.dll
Plugin=Plugin_BSPSceneManager.dll
Plugin=Plugin_OctreeSceneManager.dll
Plugin=Plugin_CgProgramManager.dll


I suspect all you'll need to change is the PluginFolder line.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks, that helped

I get the login screen now but the connection was refused.
There was a default name and password but it did not connect.
I guess I need the correct server to connect to or Do I need to start a server on my computer?

Hey,

So, you do have two options. You can run your own server. If you have the "Twisted Command Prompt" set up, open that and cd to the mv3d-0.3 directory. If you don't have that (they may have removed it in v8), just try it in a normal command prompt.

Code: Select all

twistd -n mv3d -i -n 1 -t 3


(For more info on command lines see either twistd --help or twistd mv3d --help or ServerCommandLineArgs in the wiki.

Option #2 is to connect to the development server. If you edit client.conf and replace "localhost" with "alpha.mv3d.com", you should be good to go.

As a side note, you'll have to use the login info provided for the time being. While you can create your own account at https://www.mv3d.com:8080, there's currently no way to attach it to a PC in the game.

Hello,

I tried both options unsuccessfully

Option 1)
I get an MV3D unknown command when I tried: twistd -n mv3d -i -n 1 -t 3
The console is provided by twisted.

my path is C:\multiverse3d
In here there I can find a mv3d folder and a twisted folder.
I think I'm missing some file or steps to configure MV3D
I will start a new topic to handle this option.

Here is the error

C:\Python25\scripts\twistd.py: Unknown command: mv3d


Option 2)
I replaced the text as instructed. As I run Runclient.py for the first time, I get the following error:

C:\multiverse3d>RunClient.py
server MV3D Client initialization successful.
client Player received error of <class 'twisted.cred.error.UnauthorizedLogin'> while connecting.


If I press the connect button, I get this:

Traceback (failure with no frames): AnonymousClient instance has no attribute 'authenticated': <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>
client Player received error of <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> while connecting.


Thanks
