Vizard and Networking

Try entering the computers IP addresses. Also, you can try and verify that any messages are coming in by puting a print statment in the network message callback.

I already tried for the ip addresses as well as printing what is supposed to be received on each side. Nothing is arriving on either side. I will keep on searching. Any idea welcome.

I have tried using the 2.50b lite Vizard edition on both machines, and everything is working beautifully.

When I use the 2.50b lite version on one machine, and the 3.00.1626 beta2 version on the other machine, here is what happens:
- If I move in the 3.00 version, the duck does move in the 2.50b version, which means that the 2.50b version receives the messages from the 3.00version.
- However, if I move in the 2.50b version, nothing happens in the 3.00 version. It seems like the 3.00 version does not receive the messages for some reason.

maybe this can help you figure out the problem.
Meanwhile, I keep on searching.

Thanks

I just realized that the function mynetwork in the program duckwalk.py running on version 3.0 is never called when we move in the version 2.50b.

So it looks like the NETWORK_EVENT never happens on the version 3.00.

I have no clue why for the moment.

Hi,

I am able to reproduce the problem here as well. It seems to be a bug with the latest BETA version of Vizard. I just fixed the problem and now the all the test cases run fine. In the meantime you can use mailbox objects, instead of network objects. Here is an example script:

import viz
viz.go()

mailbox = viz.add(viz.MAILBOX,viz.input('Enter computer name'))

def mymail(message):
	print message
	
def mykey(key):
	if key == ' ':
		mailbox.send('hello')

viz.callback(viz.KEYBOARD_EVENT,mykey)
viz.callback(viz.MAIL_EVENT,mymail)
