Heartache 101 ~Sour into Sweet~

Having some problems here, Python still don't want to talk with wand.
Still investigating what I've may have misplaced but, I'm sorta running out of clues.
But I have to admit that I didn't quite follow the instructions in order at first.

Have a screen cap, cause I like pictures.

I think I found your problem: According to your screenshot you have the "Q8" version of ImageMagic installed, and python wand specically asked you to install the "Q16" flavour. The primary difference is that Q8 is a bit faster and a bit lower in qualatiy.

The secondary difference is that the libs will probably have a different name which is probably why the can't be found.

=> Try deinstalling ImageMagic and reinstalling using this version (64 bit!) or that one (32bit)

EDIT: anothwer thing: you seemed to have copied the tool to a place which contains a subdirectory named "parts" ... guess where extract.py wants to put the extracted layers.


If I'm wrong ... see below for my initial answer,

PS: the download page for ImageMagic is a pain in the nether region (millions of files and you can't even read their names without mouse hovering ...).


PPS: If you do need the Q8 version for some reason ... there's a way to have both of them installed, but that's a bit tricky.

PPPS: Oh - they have a 7.x version now ... Well it should be safer to stick to 6.9 for the time being as this is what python wand is expecting.

Yikes.

OK. The usual checklist:
(The error message says it can find the "python wand" module, but this module can't find ImageMagick's shared lib.)

• Did you reboot your box after installing ImageMagick?

• Did you install the development libs when you installed ImageMagix (like this

  )

• Did you use the same platform (32 or 64 bits) when installing python and ImageMagic?

• What happens if you just open a cmd.exe and run "convert" or "identify"?

My current best bet is that you forgot to install the C-bindings ...

There are two other things I noticed. The URL in the error message points to http://docs.wand-py.org/en/latest/andsoon ... and that's where the "bleeding edge development" version of wand lives. ... the latest stable version is currently 0.4.3

And I noticed that you seemed to have installed the "Q8" version of ImageMagic. I used ... oh ...

But, let me make a minor disclaimer about those 3 parts in particular.
Coming from a Halloween project, they are basically a "Yandere starter pack", no problem with that.
However, regardless of the fact that I sort of like those type of characters, I don't want to see my girls being targets of one, and I'm very sure that the other content creators think the same regarding theirs as well, they were not written for this kind of story.
It's strongly recommend to include custom characters, of own creation, to perform such role.

Just so to make me understand your intention: you'd be OK with somebody using these parts to create a psychoticly jealous char, as long this char isn't going after ... say ... Eliza?

I think it might help to consider custom content as the intellectual property of their author. As such, it is best to have the author's express consent to allow edits, expansions, or inclusions of said content into other content. If this consent cannot be granted for whatever reason, any content that is made with another person's content must be separate from the original content.

If that makes any sense.

You are very right. And I just noticed that I did violate this simple rule myself ... is there any way to ask flowerthief's permission for using his Built-ins in the way I did with my first content-package?

Here's the new version of my tachie-generator.

Just download tachigen-32bit.zip, extract it to an empty folder and then get the 11/05/2016 version of Kevincalanor's HTC-TachieWorkshop.psd published here.
Put this in the same directory.

The directory now should contain: setup.cmd, tachiegen.cmd, HTC-TachieWorkshop.psd and a folder named tachiegen.

After that - just start setup.cmd - this probably runs for several minutes.
When it's finished it'll wait for you to hit ENTER. Please check the output for error messages first. The last line should read something like If it finished without errors, just run tachigen.cmd and enjoy.

That's it. No installing python or anything. I tested it on 32bit Windows 7 and 64 Windows 10 ... so it should run basically on any current version.

@Marrend: sorry. I will try to produce less noise in the future.

*EDIT*: dramtically improved the resource usage, fixed/worked-around several graphical "glitches".

For those who'd like to bother with installing python etc.: take this version.

*EDIT 2016/11/22*: added a tutorial, some minor fixes, better error handling, renamed coloring modes.

*gasp*

Welcome back BasedMG!

In more seriousness, I suppose the only thing I can really say here is good luck with the whole "play all the routes" plan!

@Marrend: what's your policy on me using Emiko/station_night.jpg in my content? Shall I copy it over to my project or shall I just reference it like this.


(and include an almost empty Tachie\Emiko folder within my project). (Provided I am allowed to use it in the first place)
