Download the latest NML release and unzip it to the folder of your project will work.

Download the latest NML release and unzip it to the folder of your project will work.

I tried it but got this error.

nmlc system error.png (13.56 KiB) Viewed 6076 times

EDIT:

I found that file and downloaded it and install where it needed.

Now saying I need Python 311 which will not down load on my computer as I using Windows 7 and it needs Windows 8 or higher.

So Windows 6.7 will not work on my computer.

So I back to square 1 trying to figure out why NML 5.3 stopped working.

But it my bed time so good night for now. Will try again tomorrow .. maybe.

Try downgrading your Python to an older version. I would start with 3.7.

Also, consider switching to Linux.

[GarryG]

I back in business. I removed the version 6.7 nml and re-installed 5.3 and I back in business.

No idea why it working now as I reinstalled 5.3 several times in past few days and it not worked.

Try downgrading your Python to an older version. I would start with 3.7.

For curiosity I try that tomorrow.

Also, consider switching to Linux.

I not changing my operating system .. I stick to Windows 7.

Cheers all

Good night

Welcome Back, Garry!

[GarryG]

Try downgrading your Python to an older version. I would start with 3.7.

No luck. NML 0.7 requires Python 3.11 and NML wants Python 3.9 and neither of them like Windows 7.

So I will stick with NML 5.3. But still strange why it stopped working those few days. Maybe I been over working it and it needed a break.

Thanks all for helping me with this strange problem.

Cheers

NML problem has returned.

So has to be something on my computer like maybe a spam that keeps stopping it working.

I believe if something is blocking the version I using what the guarantee if I update that it too not get blocked later.

I go train riding for the afternoon and maybe it will work when I get home.

EDIT: (11/1/24)

Yesterday afternoon I manage to get it working again and this morning the problem has returned. It now not working again.

Has to be something on my computer causing it. I ran CClean, Microsoft security, and Disk Cleanup and no problems detected.

EDIT EDIT (12/1/24)
Got it working again this morning by removing the NML files. Restarting the computer and load NML back on. Shall see what happens tomorrow (Saturday).

EDIT EDIT EDIT (13/1/24)
It working this morning so hope the problem been fixed.
I'll work on my train set for a few days now.

EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT (15TH)
Touch wood .. all seems to be working ok now.

[GarryG]

I GIVE UP

NML failed to work again and I done everything I can think of.

Ran AVG, CClean, Disk Clean, Microsoft Security, deleted all files associated with NML and Python, restarted computer, reinstalled NML and Python and still not working.

So I GIVE UP.

The odds of me ever coding any more objects or any other projects I been doing in NML is very slim.

If there is any thing I have made in the past and anyone wants the source or the templates let me know.

[kamnet]

What error messages are you encountering?

[GarryG]

None.

When I type in the nmlc (filename).nml is just doesn't do anything.

[GarryG]

It working again .. but for how long I got no idea.

I installed the new versions of NML stand alone (knowing they would not work as I still have Windows 7 and I am not upgrading to 10 or 11) to see what happens. It gave me warning that I need Python 311. I tried a version 6 and it say need Python 39.

So they tried to work.

So I reinstalled NML 5.3 over the top of of those and it now works.

Before 5.3 it maybe tried to work as after waiting a long time to see what would happen I had to press Ctrl + C to return to the DOS command.

Shall see what happens next few days.

[odisseus]

Try running nmlc with these options:

Code: Select all

--stack --verbosity=4

It is impossible to diagnose your problem without additional information.

[GarryG]

It is impossible to diagnose your problem without additional information.

At the moment it working again so will try what you mentioned if it stops working again.

What happening is I type in the nmlc command to convert a NML to a GRF and when press enter and goes to the next line under the C prompt like always do as if getting ready to convert the file, but there it don't do anything else and have to press Ctrl + C to bring you back to the command line.

I tried it with several of my projects thinking maybe the problem was only with the one I was working on, but does the same with them all.

See what happens tomorrow when I get home from shopping and see if it working.

Cheers to all those trying to help me.

[GarryG]

Try running nmlc with these options:

I decided to stay home this morning and argue with NML again.

I tried several of those options but no results. Cursor goes to next line as if going to do something but nothing happens. I wait several minutes and more hoping something will happen but nothing.
Have to press Ctrl + C to get back to the DOS prompt.

Not been successful this morning to get things working. It can now wait till Saturday and I will try once more.

Cheers all

[GarryG]

I just spent close to 1 1/2 hours trying to get NML to work and failed.

Tried all the ways I got it working before, but this time no luck.

Might try again after I get my railway stations finished as they being coded in NFO.

So until further notice my object Forum is

CLOSED.

I plan to put together the sprites I been working on and upload here for any other coders who would like to use them.

Cheers all

I'm sorry about your problems and can imagine how frustrating it is if something does not work.

Also had a time where I was about to throw a non-working printer out of the window

But I am still puzzled that things stopped working for you - do you remember what the last thing was that you did before things went wrong?

When I installed nmlc I simply followed the instructions here:

https://www.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NMLTutoria ... on#Windows

Have you tried the following:

1) Download the latest version from here (you might need to scroll down until you see the "Assets" headline and then select the proper file like nml-standalone-0.7.4-win64.zip )

2) Unzip the file inside a folder that you like - in my case it is c:\users\username\documents\project (but make sure it is different from the one that you have been using so far)

3) There should be a folder now c:\users\username\documents\project\nml-standalone-0.7.4-win64

4) From that sub-folder I copied nmlc.exe to the above folder c:\users\username\documents\project

5) Put your *.nml files in that folder

6) Put all graphics files in the sub-folder c:\users\username\documents\project\gfx (you might need to create it manually if not there initially)

7) Open the command line and go to folder c:\users\username\documents\project

8 ) Run the program with the line

Code: Select all

nmlc -c --grf test.grf test.nml

9) Find your *.grf file in the same folder

If it still does not work, could you maybe post a screenshot or repeat the error message shown here?

Keep up the great work!

Nice screen shot. Like seeing how people use what I do as often gives more ideas.

Was suggested to me some time ago some of the sport fields in winter if they could ice over and create ice hockey fields and other ice sports.

Something like this.

But been to busy to give that a try just yet and now NML causing me head aches.

[GarryG]

But I am still puzzled that things stopped working for you - do you remember what the last thing was that you did before things went wrong?

I was wondering that too, but not able to think of anything. I even did a complete restore before the day troubles started thinking maybe when Microsoft Security Essentials did a update is that did something as I kept working while that was updated.

1) Download the latest version from here (you might need to scroll down until you see the "Assets" headline and then select the proper file like nml-standalone-0.7.4-win64.zip )

It will not work as I still have Windows 7. But curious I tried to run it see if anything happens and yes it did try to work but said I need Python 311. But Python 311 needs Windows 10 or 11.

3) There should be a folder now c:\users\username\documents\project\nml-standalone-0.7.4-win64

That gives me an idea to try .. At moment all my NML work is in folder C:\tools\nml. What if I create a different folder (maybe C:\Projects\NML) and copy all my work into it and make sure I now copy anything related to NML code itself.

If it still does not work, could you maybe post a screenshot or repeat the error message shown here?

I just ran it to put a screen shot here and it working. It did NOT work yesterday.

Shall see what happens tomorrow cause while it working I will do a few projects today. Maybe I do those ice sport fields that "panswato " unintentionally reminded me of.

Thank you kindly ebla71 for trying to help.

Subject: Ice Hockey.

Thanks to "panswato" be reminded me I had not coded the Ice Hockey.

So here it is. When there is no snow it will be a normal Hockey field. But when winter comes and the area you built it gets snow then it will change to this.
