PyPRP Age Importer

Revision as of 13:43, 10 March 2014 by Gpnmilano (Talk | contribs) (Before Getting Started)

Introduction

On occasion, it may be useful to import ages (made by Cyan or others) into Blender from PRP or AGE files. Importing an age allows a new Writer to become familiar with how an age is constructed before it is exported into Uru. It may also be useful to retired Writers who have deleted (a) BLEND file(s) for their age and wish to continue development of that age. PyPRP's import feature prevents such a writer from having to rebuild that age from scratch.

Age import has not supported since before the release of GoW-PyPRP 1.5.0.

Information

The PyPRP Age Importer is the most up-to-date stable version of PyPRP that allows importing functionality. It is a consistently updated version of PyPRP for the express purpose of importing ages into blender. It is a modified version of GoW-PyPRP 1.3.0 and thus should only be used for importing ages into Blender, rather than creating them.

Note : The Age Importer requires Blender 2.45; it will not work with later versions. (Having different versions of Blender on a same computer is not a problem; just install them in different folders). Blender 2.45 for Windows can be downloaded here. Other OS versions can be found here.

The Future of the Importer

Developers are hard at work on the release of PyPRP 2.x, that will make this version obsolete, until then this importer can serve the community as a decent importer of ages.
