List of reported issues with fixes / workarounds.
See the file crash-report.txt for the last recorded error message when a crash occurs.
Modern versions of OpenRPG / Traipse will not interfere with each other when you install multiple copies to different folders.
OpenRPG crashes after splash screenviewtopic.php?f=4&t=323Problem:
After the splash screen, the program crashes with error message of (last line), 'AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FNB_COLORFUL_TABS'"
Fix:
You are using wxPython 2.8.11.0 and you need wxPython 2.8.10.1
More details:
Go to the wxPython downloads page on SourceForge and get the right version of wxPython 2.8.10 for you:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/If you have Python 2.6 and win32 processor then this is the one:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpyth ... e/download"Failed to connect to server..."viewtopic.php?f=4&t=339Problem:
Connecting to all servers fails with a "Failed to connect to server..." error message.
Workaround:
You can connect to any server by bookmarking it first and then connecting via the bookmark.
OpenRPG flashes on and then exits immediatelyProblem:
The command prompt / terminal / DOS-like window opens and then closes immediately before you even see a splash screen or updater dialog. Nothing recorded in crash-report.txt. Most likely this is for a fresh install.
Fix:
Unfortunately several possibilities exist. Either the Python is not installed, not working, not located by the OS, or a very early error such as a module not found or wxPython not found, or failure to load settings. Likely something has gone wrong with the installation process. Re-installing OpenRPG may fix the problem
More details:
With an error line near the bottom mentioning, File "....\orpg\tools\settings.py", Line XXX
Failing to load Settings file.With an error saying, "ImportError: No module named wxversion" you probably need to install wxPython manually as it has somehow failed to install correctly.
http://www.wxpython.org/download.phpWith the MacOpenRPG fails with message about ElementTreeviewtopic.php?f=4&t=322&p=3301#p3301Problem:
The last line of the error message / traceback reads, "ImportError: No module named ElementTree"
Fix:
With the main branch OpenRPG 1.8.0. Not sure what is going wrong at the moment but OpenRPG becomes unable to find a file, "\orpg\external\etree\ElementTree.py" after initially working successfully and updating. Reinstalling may fix this and installing Traipse has worked fine.
Can't reload a map that has text on itviewtopic.php?f=4&t=308&view=previousProblem:
Currently OpenRPG has a bug that has loading maps choke on apostrophes (or possibly double quotes with Traipse).
Workaround:
At the moment the only solution is to avoid the offending character within your text on a map. If you have a large map you cannot load then you can try to edit it using a text or XML editor. Look for (in a text editor) the phrase, "text_string=" and look at the following text to remove any apostrophe or double quote character within the opening and closing quotes.
Fix:
Fixed in latest Traipse.
Get rid of annoying code window / DOS boxviewtopic.php?f=4&t=299&view=previousProblem:
This is not an error but older versions of OpenRPG had an option for not showing the logging window which appears as a black dialog with mostly white text.
Workaround:
On Windows you can just rename the file extension of whatever file you use to start OpenRPG (typically start_client.py) from .py to .pyw
