[SOLVED]Manual parsing of material script

Hi,

In my project sometimes resources are added to existing resource groups on the fly. This calls for scripts (overlay, material etc) to be parsed manually.

Here's what I did

ds = ogre.ResourceManager.openResource("myMaterial.material", "General", True)


ds is an ogre.DataStream object. Calling ds.getAsString() seems to be returning the right contents. However if I go on to call ogre.MaterialManager.getSingleton().parseScript(ds), it returns None. Calling ogre.MaterialManager.getSingleton().getByName() shows that the materials have not been parsed and loaded.

Can someone shine some light please?

I've looked at this again and it seems to work OK for me.. However the example code you gave is certainly not correct so I wonder what version of Python-Ogre you are using...
mm = ogre.MaterialManager.getSingleton()
rm = ogre.ResourceGroupManager.getSingleton()
ds = rm.openResource("mine.material", "General", True)
mm.parseScript(ds, "General")
Cheers

sorry, my mistake. I did something really stupid. cloning the material, deleting the original and then trying to find it.
