I've spent some time mucking around in an attempt to get A3P working. I've spent some more time mucking about trying to find better instructions on what I need to do to get it working. And it still isn't working.

I suspect my problem comes from "Add the Panda3D Python directory to your system path", since I have no idea how to do that, and am not 100% sure what its referring to. An alternative is that I need to install Panda3d (version 1.6.2) into the A3P source folder - though I have tried it, there's a fair chance I'm doing it wrong.

I'm running Fedora 12. The content of the game.log (and the CLI) is:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

ERROR: exceptHook - Unhandled exception.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 94, in <module>

    ParticleGroup.generator.setPlateSize(3)
AttributeError: 'libpanda.MeshDrawer' object has no attribute 'setPlateSize'

I've also attempted to get the browser plugin to co-operate, and even tried the windows version through Wine (could boot XP, but that's both cheating and bothersome :P).

Its probably something very obvious that I'm missing, but I would appreciate some help.

Thanks in advance.

The problem is fixed in SVN.

My problem is that I don't know how to install the panda3d browser plugin. (I only need it to register)

To be honest I couldn't get it to work regulary under Linux either.

The browser plugin can be installed relativly easy here though:
http://www.panda3d.org/download.php?pla ... .0&runtime

It has been updated recently it seems so I am currently testing if the browser version now works under Linux and Firefox. So far is is loading just fine

Yay! It starts! But it crashes if I try to play the tutorial (rev 185). I suppose I'll just have to work my way back through revisions until I find one which works for me. Thanks for that =).

Plugin seems to work in Konqueror, at least enough for me to create an account. Firefox seems to have ailuropodaphobia* though.

*Please forgive the butchering of languages

P.S. I could register an account for you then PM the password to you, if you like.

Hmm, also having trouble under Linux 64 bit.. I can play fine for a few minutes, but then the browser plugin crashes.. Guess I should try compiling the svn trunk..

Ok with the browser plugin I can confirm it working under Ubuntu 9.10 and Firefox, just the sound stops working after a restart of the game (but not the browser).

Edit: On the A3P devblog they said something about Panda3D's ODE implementation having problems under Ubuntu. Maybe this is causing the crashes (I also experience).

There's now a HTML register form luckily.

I tried running a3p a few times and Xorg crashed each time after a while
