vizard 2.5 compatability issue

[shai]

Hey guys,

say i have an 'avatar' variable, then:

avatar.cal.pose(4) does not work in vizard 2.5.

it seems ".cal.pose()" method does not exist for avatars in vizard 2.5 however it exists in vizard 2.17a...

i was wondering if this is the only compatability issue between the two versions?

tnx,
Shai

Hi,

In the latest version avatars don't have a cal object associated with them. To set the idle pose you would perform the following:

avatar.idlepose(4)

If you are finding that there are a lot of compatibility issues with your script, then send it to me and I'll update it for you.

Thanks Farshizzo,

there's only one other issue that I have run into, my program now keeps displaying:

** WARNING: Could not find subchild with name: 'm_head.cmx'

although it works fine in the older version. I haven't investigated
the problem completely. But I was just wondering if you by chance know where this might be coming from, if not, I can give you the specific line where this problem is arising.

Thanks,
Shai

Hi,

This means that some piece of code is trying to access the head mesh of the avatar. Are you using a custom made avatar? If so, then you can ignore this message. This warning message was probably added in the newer version.
