SettingUpAnApplication

From PyWiki

To run you first PythonOgre application you need at least 3 files. It would recommend you to create for every project an own directory. The following files are all copied from the demos folder.

plugins.cfg

Here you have to write down the path to your "plugins" folder. There are the dynamic libraries for rendering.

This is an example for Windows (note: path is relative)

# Defines plugins to load

# Define plugin folder
PluginFolder=../../plugins

# Define D3D rendering implementation plugin
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL.dll
Plugin=RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll
Plugin=Plugin_ParticleFX.dll
Plugin=Plugin_BSPSceneManager.dll
Plugin=Plugin_OctreeSceneManager.dll
Plugin=Plugin_CgProgramManager.dll

This is an example for mac os x/linux (note: path is absolute)

# Defines plugins to load

#Define plugin folder
PluginFolder=/home/andy/development/root/usr/lib/OGRE

# Define D3D rendering implementation plugin
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL
Plugin=Plugin_ParticleFX
Plugin=Plugin_BSPSceneManager
Plugin=Plugin_OctreeSceneManager
Plugin=Plugin_CgProgramManager

resources.cfg

Here you define the path to the sounds, fonts, 3d models, textures and other resources you use in your program.

This is an example for all OS (note: path is relative)

[Bootstrap]
Zip=../media/packs/OgreCore.zip

# Resource locations to be added to the default path
[General]
FileSystem=../media
FileSystem=../media/fonts
FileSystem=../media/sounds
FileSystem=../media/Audio
FileSystem=../media/materials/programs
FileSystem=../media/materials/scripts
FileSystem=../media/materials/textures
FileSystem=../media/models
FileSystem=../media/overlays
FileSystem=../media/particle
FileSystem=../media/gui
Zip=../media/packs/cubemap.zip
Zip=../media/packs/cubemapsJS.zip
Zip=../media/packs/dragon.zip
Zip=../media/packs/fresneldemo.zip
Zip=../media/packs/ogretestmap.zip
Zip=../media/packs/skybox.zip
#Zip=../media/packs/chiropteraDM.pk3

script.py

At least you need a python file in which you write your code. If you got all these files you can run your project. Important: If you do the tutorial you have to copy the "SampleFramework.py" from the "demos" directory in your project folder.
