| Post subject: | Stalled while installing on a MAC |
Hello, Following the directions below on the rpgobjects site... * Download/Install Python 2.6.2 or better (python.org) * Download/Install wxPython 2.8.10 or better (wxpython.org) * Download OpenRPG Base Zip (OpenRPG base) * Run start_client.py to Launch OpenRPG I successfully installed Python 2.6.4 So I then tried to "Download/Install wxPython 2.8.10 or better (wxpython.org)" and on the wxpython site it says: "wxPython needs a special Mac OS X-specific build of Python, called a Framework build, in order to work. Panther and Tiger include a Framework build of Python 2.3, or you can get a newer version of Python the Python Framework from the Python site. " I am not really sure what that means...is there a link to such a framework that I am missing? Any help on the wxpython step would be helpful. I have used OpenRPG on my PC for years and I am trying to install on a Mac laptop, but I do not kow much about Macs. Thanks. |

I think it's just telling you you need to install python. Panther and tiger came with python already installed evidently leopard doesn't. Just install the recommend python from the python site and wx and see if it runs. |

hey prof, I went to your site and followed the directions. I was able to install python and wxpython successfully. I also installed traipse from the link you provided, although I did not know what what meant by "downloading dependencies" prior to installing traipse. I also downloaded OpenRPG. When I try to start OpenRPG by clicking start_client.py it seems to open up Python, but it is called IDLE? A window opens up that contains the following message: ______________________ #!/usr/bin/env python import sys import os, os.path import runpy runpy.run_module('updater.gui', run_name='__main__', alter_sys=True) import pyver pyver.checkPyVersion() from orpg.orpg_wx import * import orpg.main from orpg.tools.orpg_log import logger if __name__ == "__main__": os.chdir(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]))) if WXLOADED: mainapp = orpg.main.orpgApp(0) mainapp.MainLoop() else: logger.exception("You really really need wx!") ______________________ No sign of what I would recognize as OpenRPG. Do I need to install OpenRPG in some way? Thanks for your help. |

Python and wx.Python are the dependencies so you are good. Since you are running Mac I believe you need to run the start up files in Terminal or create a launcher. I am unsure how similar Linux is to Mac.. I have a How To on how to make a launcher. To start the software in Terminal use the CLI to move to the OpenRPG folder, then use: Code: python start_client.py If you are running Traipse you need to run Traipse.pyw not start_client.py |

All you should have to do is set the start_client.py to open with python launcher. control click on the file pick get info and set open with to python launcher. Now double click start_client.py and it should start. Finwe wrote: hey prof, I went to your site and followed the directions. I was able to install python and wxpython successfully.
