Are you sure it compiles in Magma?

 

I’m actually having the same problem, but instead of with drum autoreductions, it’s with *every function in CAT*. It acts like it does something, but no changes are made in the MIDI.

 

I’m trying to use it on projects that have already been compiled in Magma and are already playable in Rock Band, so that can’t be the issue. I’m also using the template, and have went through the checklist in the CAT to make sure everything is correct. I have the correct version of Reaper installed, the correct Python installed, etc, and I’ve even went and uninstalled / reinstalled all of my programs to try to fix it.

 

Seems like upgrading to Windows 10 caused this issue for me, and I can’t find a way to fix it. I have no hope that my issue will ever be resolved, but I figured I’d toss my experience in here just in case, in some way, it could help you guys resolve something.

I’m on Windows 10 with no problems. Try loading up one of the specific commands on top of the generic CAT function and launch one of those. Try create_triplets.py, in example. The command should fail in this case with a message.

I have also just changed to Windows 10, and am having the same issue as CharityDiary.

 

Python and CAT are all installed properly, and the CAT window comes up. But none of the functions work, they just close the CAT window. Even on projects that I’ve already used CAT with on my other customs PC.

 

I’ll do some troubleshooting and see what I can come up with.

Hmm “Script execution error”. Can’t copy and paste the error message, so I’ll just transpose the last couple lines of it here.

 

File “CPython26Libdecimal.py”, line 649, in _new_

“First convert the float to a string”)

TypeError: Cannot convert float to Decimal. First convert the float to a string

 

Also found this somewhere online:

“Direct conversion from float to Decimal was implemented in python-2.7, both in Decimal’s constructor and with the Decimal.from_float() classmethod. Python-2.6 instead throws a TypeError suggesting to convert to string first”

Do I need to be using 2.7+ instead of 2.6.6?

[Farottone]

Apparently so, yes.

I’ll try that and report back later!

Still having a traceback error involving no module named ctypes.

 

In my Python27DLLs folder there is a .pyd called cytpes, so if that’s what it’s looking for it’s there. I have done a lot of research online but not found anything pertaining specifically to the same issue.

 

I have tried many different versions of Python, my REAPER is version 4.62.

 

I am testing with the C3 template.

 

I’m on Windows 7, using 32-bit versions of Python and REAPER.

 

Sorry I couldn’t help myself more, I have tried numerous solutions but am a bit out of my depth here, the error code is as follows:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

File “C://Program Files (x86)//REAPER//Pluginsreaper_python.py”, line 2, in

from ctypes import *

ImportError: No module named ctypes

I suspect maybe something is being mis-directed? I saw that the error had cropped up in here a couple of times before but no solution was found.

One user said they “formatted notepad” but that has seriously got me confused because

1. How do you “format” notepad (besides the text size lol)

2. What does it have to do with a Python script failing on your machine?

Derp! I misread he says format his “notebook”

I’m obviously misunderstanding but any help is much appreciated, I’m trying to get things re-worked a little before I continue charting (new template, moving songs over, using CAT to improve work process etc.)

Thanks for any help.

I would recommend downgrading REAPER from 4.62 to 4.22.

[nineteenforever]

Ok, I’ll try that now, thanks.

 

I found this pertaining to the same error, but for the Python 3.xx versions instead if anyone can make sense of it (I looked for the py2exe but it must be for Python 3.xx versions only, because I couldn’t find it.)

[nineteenforever]

4.22 REAPER throws up the same error, so I’m going to re-install Python. I was using version 2.7.10, that one would should work OK though right?

 

Just a note, I followed a solution from an earlier post about adding the environment variable because REAPER was crashing when I started the script, it fixed the crashing but it won’t be whats causing this issue will it?

 

EDIT: Re-installed Python, still no cigar. Greatly appreciate any help ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_cheeky.001.gif” />

I have no problems with CAT on the latest v5.211, don’t know if that’ll help

Are you sure it compiles in Magma?

 

Positive, I’ve played it in-game already. I’m on Windows 7 as well. I finished up another custom I’m working on right afterwards and the drum animations function worked fine there. The only thing I can think of that might be throwing it out of whack is my disco flip markers? But they seem to be placed mostly properly given that it plays how it should in-game and looks correct in the reaper preview window for both standard and pro drums.

 

I know that in my experience if the drums reduction function along with the animations function both don’t work, it’s because there’s an invalid midi note in the drums midi somewhere. But the reductions function worked fine, it’s just the animations giving me trouble on this one.

Wow, I guess I could try that since updating and rolling back Reaper is nice and easy, if it fixes CAT tools though I hope it doesn’t create other issues. But it was recommended to stick with older versions of Reaper right?

To be clear: if CAT fails with no messages it’s an issue with the project (or a rare instance of a bug in CAT); if CAT fails with messages it’s an issue with Python, in which case you are better off looking for help on the Cockos forums or googling for issues with Python’s installation.

Well, I know I was talking bout templates earlier but don’t worry, I am obviously testing this with the C3 one haha, I’m not that daft ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_cheeky.001.gif” />

 

And I have no doubts whatsoever about your coding either ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

 

I have been looking at cockos forums because I suspected what you said would be the case, I will post a solution when I find one though, for future reference. Thanks ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />
