Error: appinit is not callable

[Vortex]

Hi,

I'm using CelStart V7 for Windows.

When I start my CelStart program I get the following error in the console:
Error: appinit is not callable

This dialog box appears:
crystalspace.application.celstart: Can't create behaviour 'appinit' for entity 'bootstrap'.

It looks like it finds appinit.py, but it can't start my init method. Does anybody know what's wrong ?

This is my celstart.cfg file:
;CelStart.ClearScreen = true
Reporter.Silent = true
CelStart.MinimumVersion = 4
;CelStart.MapFile.a = SnowboardGame.xml
CelStart.Name = SnowboardGame
CelStart.Description = Snowboard Game
CelStart.Icon = SnowboardGame.jpg

Video.ScreenWidth = 800
Video.ScreenHeight = 600

System.Plugins.iGraphics3D = crystalspace.graphics3d.opengl
System.Plugins.iEngine = crystalspace.engine.3d
System.Plugins.iFontServer = crystalspace.font.server.multiplexer
System.Plugins.iFontServer.1 = crystalspace.font.server.default
System.Plugins.iFontServer.2 = crystalspace.font.server.freetype2
System.Plugins.iImageIO = crystalspace.graphic.image.io.multiplexer
System.Plugins.iLoader = crystalspace.level.loader
System.Plugins.iReporter = crystalspace.utilities.reporter
System.Plugins.iStandardReporterListener = crystalspace.utilities.stdrep
System.Plugins.iCollideSystem = crystalspace.collisiondetection.opcode
System.Plugins.iSndSysLoader = crystalspace.sndsys.element.loader
System.Plugins.iSndSysRenderer = crystalspace.sndsys.renderer.software

System.Plugins.iCelPlLayer = cel.physicallayer
System.Plugins.iCelPersistence = cel.persistence.classic
System.Plugins.iCelConsole = cel.celconsole

CelStart.BehaviourLayer.blpython = cel.behaviourlayer.python
CelStart.Entity.bootstrap = bootstrap
CelStart.EntityBehaviour.bootstrap = appinit
CelStart.EntityBehaviourLayer.bootstrap = blpython

This is my appinit.py file:
from pycel import *

def __init__(self,celEntity):
   zoneMgr = celZoneManager(celEntity)
   Vfs.ChDirAuto("/tmp/celstart/")
   zoneMgr.Load("/tmp/celstart","level.xml")

Thanks in advace,

Jeroen

I've got this fixed.

I've downloaded the odetest example from the Crystal Space website, but it says:
- No factory for pccommandinput registered

Where should I look to get this fixed ? Are these examples still compatible with the latest CelStart ?

It would be nice if there are some Python examples at the CelStart page.

Thanks in advance.

I agree it would be nice to have some python celzip's; I'm working on a simple app using python and celstart but I don't know if I'm doing this right (for example, I still haven't figured out how to get hover to work; if I try to create a new CraftController, the program immediately quits.  I am, however, making some progress and so can hopefully try to post something at some point so other people more experienced can tell me how to improve it and less can build off it, unless someone posts something better first.

Anyways, I suggest you add a line that appends pccommandinput to the PcFactories list

PcFactories.append("cel.pcfactory.pccommandinput")

(I have an initialization routine that does the following:


   def SetupFactories(self):
      pcclasses = ["region","tooltip","mesh","solid","meshselect","zonemanager","trigger", "quest","light","inventory","defaultcamera","gravity","movable",   "pccommandinput","linmove","actormove","colldet","timer","soundlistener", "soundsource","billboard","properties" ,"craft","hover","mechsys","mechobject"]
      for pcclass in pcclasses:
         PcFactories.append("cel.pcfactory."+pcclass)
         print "Added ",pcclass


I presumably adapted it from somewhere as I'm not using quest or light in my code at present, at least as far as I know)

I haven't done something with CelStart anymore, because I don't know how I should go further. I'm still interested however.

I'm going to give your code a shot.

I think a lot of people are going to like it if you can add a simple CelStart/Python example at the CelStart webpage.

I just posted my code to http://carletronicon.googlepages.com/mycelstartexample (click image to download).

Jorrit et al: is it permitted for me to just modify the celstart wiki page to add my example file / image or is there some procedure I'm missing to get approval?

[Vortex]

I only had time to have a quick look at your code. It looks well structured and clean. I hadn't time to actually run it.

Maybe you should email Jorrit directly if you can add this to the CelStart wiki. His email address is somewhere at the contact page.

from pycel import *

class appinit:
  def __init__(self,celEntity):
     zoneMgr = celZoneManager(celEntity)
     Vfs.ChDirAuto("/tmp/celstart/")
     zoneMgr.Load("/tmp/celstart","level.xml")

It looks for an object that you specified (appinit) in a file of the same name (appinit.py) and tries to create it.
