BZW Tools Help Installing

[pingiscoolest]

I am trying to install BZW Tools on my computer running Ubuntu. I (think) I have followed all the instructions of the BZW Wiki to install it. The BZW Script shows up and I can get into the add object menu but when I click one of the objects to add I get the error message "Python script error: Check console"
What am I doing wrong? It is probably something stupid but I cant figure it out.
Thanks in advance

EDIT: I have noticed that I can add the weapon object but that appears to be all though I have't tried all of them. Thanks again!

My suggestion would be to check the console (e.g. run blender from the terminal and read the error).

If I try to add a cone i get this error (I have replaced my username with "user" in quotation marks :
BZFlag settings found, setting to user preferences
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 248, in addbutton_event
File "/home/"user"/.blender/scripts/bzflag/cone.py", line 39, in __init__
self.wallimage=Blender.Image.Load(BZconfig.bztexpath+'boxwall.png')
IOError: couldn't load image

The directory it is showing does not exist, I have checked. I did not give it this directory anywhere, Should I create the directory or what?

EDIT: Im confused now I couldnt navigate to that directory but if i type in the top bar /home/"user"/.blender/ I get to a folder that contains the scripts folder and in the scripts folder is the file cone.py
I am now very confused why is it that I could not navigate to the file through the file system but I could jumpt to it?

If you read the error more closely, you'll see it's talking about an image file, not a python file.

Code: Select all

self.wallimage=Blender.Image.Load(BZconfig.bztexpath+'boxwall.png')
IOError: couldn't load image

So, it seems like you need to run through the First Time Setup and set the path to your BZFlag textures.

well i set all the directories i could find to the folder containing boxwall.png but i still get the same error I still cant figure this out though It is probably obvious what I am doing wrong.

I just had the same exact errors. My problem was that there wasn't a "/" at the end of my texture path. I assumed it would be there by default. It's not.
