how to use ogre-meshviewer in windows

Post by Joshsh »

Ogre Version: :ogre-meshviewer_24.03 :
Operating System: :win10:
Render System: :?:

I just downloaded ogre-meshviewer_24.03-win64.zip and extracted it. I followed the instructions to "run the script, (shift+) right-click on a *.mesh file > 'Open With' > (navigate to) > ogre-meshviewer.bat," but nothing happened.

Am I doing something wrong? Thx.

Code: Select all

Ogre.log (optional)

Hello,

Just double click on "ogre-meshviewer.bat", it will open a file dialog and you can browse to your mesh file that way.

If the application closes right away then there is something wrong and you should call the application from the command line to see what happened.

Hello,

Thx for your reply.

"double click on 'ogre-meshviewer.bat'" does help to move forward to see the dialog and browse to a mesh file to open but without any further feedback.

The ogre.log says as following:

Code: Select all

When call the application from command line same as in "ogre-meshviewer.bat",nothing happen.

Call it like this:
Go to the directory where ogre-meshviewer was installed with CMD.EXE and launch it like this
python.exe ogre_mesh_viewer.py c:\path\to\file.mesh

You can also use:
set OGRE_MIN_LOGLEVEL=3

To increase the logging level.

These are the log levels:
LML_TRIVIAL, LML_NORMAL, LML_WARNING, LML_CRITICAL

Thanks.

I set OGREOGRE_MIN_LOGLEVEL from 0 to 3 without any warning message to help figure out the causes.The following is what I copy from cmd dialog:

Did you try on other meshes?

There might be something in that mesh that is crashing OGRE somehow...

Try loading Sinbad.mesh.

maybe some dependencies for D3D9 are missing on your system. Try commenting it out in plugins.cfg as:

Code: Select all

# Plugin=RenderSystem_Direct3D9

Thanks.

Commenting D3D9 does help.The "Ogre Engine Rendering Setup" dialog pops up. However, it disappears after I select any "Rendering Subsystem" and click "OK". Warning messages in cmd dialog says:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\ogre-meshviewer_24.06-win64\ogre_mesh_viewer.py", line 843, in <module>

You could just ensure the DX9 runtime is installed as well https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloa ... aspx?id=35

that line is not essential. can you try commenting it out? do similar errors pop up?
