Ah see now I definately can't help, don't have a linux machine, I had plans for one but never got around to it.


I know Python tends to be Multi-platformed, will there be a Windows version of this program?

[Putnam]

Since this program is in Python, you should be able to run it on any machine that can run python. Windows is one such OS.

[Vandala]

It will run on anything that has python, that's correct, linux, windows, mac, hell even your phone is a possibility though that's probably a bad idea.

Also, you don't have to have a linux pc, just download a live cd of a linux distro that has one (such as ubuntu) and you can have linux on a windows pc without even needing to actually installing it. Just google it, it's way easy.

I use crunchbang, love that distro, completely configurable to your own wishes.

[Vandala]

Still working.

Almost got something people could use tonight but sadly I could not get it to work yet.

Maybe I'll have more luck tomorrow.

Don't get your hopes up though, it ain't much at all.

[Vandala]

Oops, heh, clearly I suck so much that I can't even code unsupervised.

I just lost everything.

Don't worry though, there are always backups. Just don't expect anything tomorrow. Sorry.

[neil_v]

Brutal   

I'm not going to be able to help out. I am going to learn python, just not within a useful time frame.
Keep plugging away! You rock!

[Vandala]

Sweet, got a hold of the backup, things are back on track!
===
neil_v, if you got yourself a working brain then your probably one step ahead of me.

Not exactly as I wanted it but here is something for you people anyway, at least it sort of works.
Don't expect anything or your hopes will be crushed.

This is just to see if it works so far with other people and a chance for me to give people a hands-on experience of what we have so far. (which is almost nothing at all)

Heh, as for some extra fun (if you feel like torturing yourself), try to find which two buttons of the creature abilities already do 'something'. HA, good luck with that one!

====================================
Alright, here's what you do.

1 Place zip where you want it.
2 Unzip
3 Dubbel click on "main_app.py"

That should work.

Remember, this program is still crap, so delete all of it afterward.

Stuff that works:
Go to the "Mod General Tab" > Go to the "DF: Game Settings" tab > Go to "Color Settings" tab > push buttons there to see what works.
As a fun extra see if you can import your own colorset, the program should pick up on it if you place it with the other colorset files.

PS: Only works if you have python installed!!!

[Vandala]

If anyone could tell me if it at least starts up on a windows system that would be great?

[neil_v]

Module wx not found.

Im assuming I now need wxglade installed. Other than the fact it wont run, it works great!
I can edit the .py's with IDLE, and its giving me an error report, so that's good news.

Windows users will need this:

[Vandala]

Nice, that's the kind of thing I feared.

Good chance your right.

Not sure how I'm going to solve that though, forcing everyone to install a wx program isn't desirable, weird though that it's not standard with python, I kinda expected that.
Not sure why I'm not having the same problem, guess linux just recognizes that stuff automatically.
Probably have to include the wx library into the program somehow, or find an easy way to get users to install wx program/library.

Well, thanks at least.

And you can have fun with it, completely open source so do what you will with it.
You can try finding a program like wxglade (don't know if glade is for windows, you could try) and see if it works then. I'm not holding my breath for that though.

PS: Just checked, wxglade is cross-platform so you should be able to at least get a hold of it and make it work. glade itself can't do anything with the files you have now though, you could try it out with this http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5860 , it's not up-to-date but you can see what it does. It's a very simple program, even I got the hang of it rather quickly by simply playing with it.

Couldn't you use something like py2exe to package all the required parts together?

[Vandala]

Couldn't you use something like py2exe to package all the required parts together?

Ooh, neat. I'll be toying with that in the future. Thank you.

[caddybear]

This ought to be huge.

[Vandala]

Huge how? File size? Not really, it's code, code is just text.
