Well uh, I downloaded ( for developers, I'm pretty sure ) Panda3D - 1.7.0. Is this SDK?

WAIT! Oh lol. I did download the wrong thing. In fact, I'm downloading the correct one right now. Thanks Dan, I'll update you in a bit :)

Same thing. Company's name them different, like HP and their incredible egos. Documents and Settings are on the hard drive. After you get there, do NOT click all users, click your user name.

titanic95594 11-12-2010 02:05 AM

Well I opend my C drive and whats my user name or how do I find out?

StellaInTheSky 11-12-2010 03:14 AM

Thanks for the help, Dan! LOL. Hope you figure it out Nate.
As for you titanic...I would assume (not overly familiar with Windows 7 yet) but you should have a folder on the computer somewhere either titled "____ Documents" with your name in the blank, or simply "My Documents". If you are the only user on the computer then you don't need a user name, there should only be one My Documents/___'s Documents folder. Forgive me if I'm not overly helpful here, I only have minimal Windows 7 use so I don't know what looks different from my system.

Im trying to open Multifly but I open right when I open it it closes itself out. Anyway how to stop this?

StellaInTheSky 11-12-2010 05:51 PM

You don't need to be opening it (ie. double-clicking it). It opens/closes itself on my computer too when I double-click it. The steps I posted via Jeffrey from the previous thread on this are all you need to be doing. There is nothing to do with multify.exe in this case other than:

Right-click multify.exe, select 'copy', go to the folder of your choice, right-click and select 'paste'; do the same thing with the 'phase_#.mf' files listed under the POTCO folder. Do NOT move them, copy/paste them. Then open your command prompt and type exactly what is listed earlier in the thread, hit enter, and you should have a phase file folder which you can double-click to open.

(I don't use Panda for anything other than viewing the phase files via the exact method above. If you're interested in actually using Panda for something else and learning about it, I can't help you out much. LOL.)

Good luck, mate!

I typed multify -x -f phase_4.mf exactly like you said but it said its not found. Am I missing something here?

Ay yi yi... It's a little hard to explain properly, but here goes (from copying Multify on.):

1.) After copying Multify (from the Panda3D-1.7.0 folder), go to: C:\Documents and Settings\??? (from My Computer, ??? would be your name, I guess. Whatever the username for your computer is at the log-in screen.)
2.) Paste Multify here.
3.) Go to: C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline and copy a phase file. Ex: phase_1.mf
4.) Go back to C:\Documents and Settings\??? and paste the phase_1 here.
5.) Go to CMD (or Command Prompt, you can find it in All Programs\Accessories)
6.) Type multify -x -f phase_1.mf in CMD. (Adjust the number for the Phase File number)
7.) Hit Enter. If nothing appears below it, YOU'VE DONE IT RIGHT.
8.) Go to C:\Documents and Settings\???
9.) You should now have a copy of the phase file, in a regular folder. It is easy to view music/sfx and maps, but don't ask me about the models. :P
10.) Repeat with all other phase files.
11.) You should now have all the phase files in Documents and Settings. Enjoy! I hope this helps, because I worked hard on it. If anyone needs any help, PM me. I'll be glad to (try to :laughks2:) guide you through the confusing process.

POSTSCRIPT: Many people confuse My Documents with Documents and Settings, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. Make absolutely sure to go to Documents and Settings, in My Computer, if you want to do it the posted way.

ANOTHER Postscript: As Stella said, I have minimal Windows 7 experience also. I can help you a lot on older OS's, but I know nothing about Windows 7. To me, 7 likes to keep you out of those files, just so they don't chance someone deleting an .exe file that is required for Windows. As far as I know, it shouldn't stray too much from those directions. Good luck!

titanic95594 11-12-2010 11:26 PM

Well,before I do anything else I cant find "Documents and Settings".

WitchdoctorDan 11-13-2010 12:06 AM

Should be right on (C:). If not, blame Windows 7.

titanic95594 11-13-2010 03:43 AM

Found that it was "Users" for Documents and Settings. After talking to a HP representive they finally say its the users folder. The issue I have now is CMD prompt said they cant find anything and typed EXACTLY that I read.

WitchdoctorDan 11-13-2010 04:32 AM

I have no idea. Blame Windows 7.

Nate Raidhawk 11-14-2010 11:33 PM

Ok Dan, I'm in the phase files! I can listen to audios, view maps, but the models have a problem. With most of the models, they have .bam version 6.24! Pview only reads 6.14 to 6.22. How can I get something that reads version 6.24?

Hmm... I don't seem to have so much trouble with Windows 7. Going off subject, I just downloaded Desktop Destroyer :laughks2: Fun game lol.
