here is the error that comes up when i try to build with the module system
NameError: name export_dir is not defined
NameError: global name export_dir is not defined

 

[mr.master]

Could you please post your export dir from the module_info ?

 

[ilovemyhedgehog]

Could you please post your export dir from the module_info ?

# Point export_dir to the folder you will be keeping your module
# Make sure you use forward slashes (/) and NOT backward slashes (\)


#export_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Mount&Blade Warband/Modules/mynewmod"

 

[Duh]

Remove the #, everything behind a # is not considered as code, but as a comment.

 

[Elfy]

You're supposed to change the bold area:
# Point export_dir to the folder you will be keeping your module
# Make sure you use forward slashes (/) and NOT backward slashes (\)

export_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/mountblade warband/Modules/Calradia extended"
#export_dir = "C:/Program Files/Mount&Blade/Modules/Native/"

The one with # in front is a comment, pointing to the native folder as default. Of course change your path right, that bold is
my path as steam user.

E: Ninja'd

AND REMEMBER TO ADD / AT THE END

 

[Elfy]

Mine's working fine without.

 

[ilovemyhedgehog]

export_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Mount&Blade Warband/Modules/mynewmod/"

So get rid of the rest and just put this?

 

[Elfy]

Don't get rid of the rest, just change that one.

# Point export_dir to the folder you will be keeping your module
# Make sure you use forward slashes (/) and NOT backward slashes (\)

export_dir = export_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Mount&Blade Warband/Modules/mynewmod/"
#export_dir = "C:/Program Files/Mount&Blade/Modules/Native/"

Like this.

PS: I suggest that you study at least basics of Python syntax before messing up with the module system.

I did what you said now another error is there Oh No!
I0 Error: [errno 13] permission denied C:/Program Files <x86>/mount&blade warband/modules/mynewmod/postfx.txt

 

[Elfy]

Try to run the .bat file as an adminstrator.

um it said alot of errors for lots of the module system file should i deleted it and redownload it?

 

[Elfy]

What kind of errors?

 

[ilovemyhedgehog]

What kind of errors?

python can't open file process_dialogs.py' [errno 2] no such file or directory
it said this for most if not all of the module files

 

[Elfy]

Double-check the path which you added earlier, that which points to your mod.

export_dir = export_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Mount&Blade Warband/Modules/mynewmod/"
#export_dir = "C:/Program Files/Mount&Blade/Modules/Native/"

Like this.

is this supposed to have two export directs?

 

[Duh]

It only has one export directory, the other is a comment, because there is a # in front of it. The point of that is to have an example, so that folks can easily understand how it works/should look.

Do you happen to have Windows7? There seems to be some oddities with permissions and overwriting things. I am aware that there are more elegant solutions, but i just copy pasted my warband directory on the desktop and i could compile unto it there.

Edit: Sorry about that - definetely not correct to have export dir = export dir.

export_dir = "C:/Users/Duh/Desktop/Mount&Blade Warband/Modules/Floris Expanded Mod Pack 2.4/"

I mean where i highlighted my post in red

 

[Elfy]

Yes, yes there is. Delete the other so it looks like this:

export_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Mount&Blade Warband/Modules/mynewmod/"

 

[ilovemyhedgehog]

could the problem be that i had used a differnt mod with the same module system then deleted it?
