PyBIN (Didn't try with others) Seems to open "Help" page (external website) with IE, and not default browser.
This seems to be a limitation of Python's webbrowser module, not much I can do.

Dumb question:

Hi, i'm having troubles to build the .exe files for windows (maybe is my python installation).

Could someone upload a zip/rar with the exe's?

ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO

The what?

I thought you just installed python and ran the .py files normally? What do you mean?



fuck you all

PyMS is built using Python, which is an interpreted programming language, so it doesn't have to be compiled to exe's. As Corbo said you can just use python to run the programs on the command line (theres lots of help on google for running python scripts if you need it). I used to bundle up the programs into exe versions when I released a new version, but I have not had a windows PC in a long time so have not done so. It's also better if people learn how to use the source so that they can always get the latest changes from github and not have to wait for me to make a full release (which I don't really have any plans of doing).

Got it working now. :D
Sorry, i'm not used to work with python.

Also, thanks, Corbo.

Turns out it was because the .cv5 extension was uppercase. This issue is fixed, it can have any casing now.

Thanks!

About modding tools with issues, today I realized for the first time that .exe made by my version of Firegraft (without plugin or change) prevented to load Starcraft campaign maps in Original Starcraft mode (not Expansion), and if trying to play a video, it would give an error message about unable to load smk\Pre_Terran1.smk (this is an example), and saying to try to reinstall from the CD.
I tested and this doesn't happen if Starcraft is launched without mod.
Is it a known thing?

I've been trying to get PyMS running for several days now but to no avail. I have tried numerous python versions - the most recent attempt involved version 2.7.9, which is still installed on my computer at the time of writing. I imagine there's something obvious that I'm missing, but I've tried launching it through pythonw.exe instead of IDLE and nothing happens - command prompt opens for a split second and then nothing. What am I missing here?

Do you have PIL?

I swear PyMS needs a whole tutorial to get it working. At some point I think I wrote up something for poiuy but I am on mobile atm so can't help you anymore than that.



fuck you all

Sep 8 2016, 11:43 am Pr0nogo Post #111



I installed PIL for 2.7 and the programmes launched. Thanks for the help. If they start crashing or I get virus'd, I know who to blame.

ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO

It is my understanding that PIL is somewhat an official python addon or whatever so I doubt you will get virused. I DO know that PyMS was developed with PIL so it is a requirement so, yeah, you are to blame poiuy :P



fuck you all

Yeah PIL is a requirement, but it should have still launched and told you that :( Also, the documentation actually does specify you need PIL and has links to install it :P

If you ever run into a crash that doesn't give you an error popup, or an app doesn't launch, you can check PyMS/Lib/stdeo.txt and it should hopefully have the last error.




Sep 10 2016, 12:35 pm Pr0nogo Post #114



I'm still a pretty big noob when it comes to python, so thanks for letting me know about the error log. I'll post here if I have any more issues.

Not sure if this is still active, but I opened PyMPQ and just using it to open an exe I was working on caused problems with PyICE. The latter program just doesn't open properly and displays this upon startup:






Dec 26 2016, 11:38 am Neiv Post #116



No idea what caused that, but reordering the MPQs so that stardat.mpq is lowest and patch_rt.mpq is the highest one on the list should fix it. If you can't do that in the program itself, edit the Settings/Pyice.txt file.



None.

Dec 26 2016, 1:14 pm Pr0nogo Post #117



Attempting to do so within the program throws this error:



Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/WUVrqxH8
Not sure what to edit in the settings file. Is 'mpqselecthistory' the culprit?




Dec 26 2016, 1:33 pm Neiv Post #118



Oh, your settings file doesn't even have the 'mpqs' setting I have. Maybe it works if you edit the config file to have it? Anyways, it seems to be a bug if the default settings cause those errors.

I added in your MPQ path settings and changed it to my folders, and now the program just doesn't start up.

Hmm I would have thought Neiv's fixes would have worked...

When a program doesn't start or crashes without an error, check in PyMS/Libs/stdeo.txt to see if it is printing the error trace or any useful information there.

I can probably take a more thorough look at this tomorrow.
