Zappy movement issue

[haddockd]

In order to avoid hijacking someone's thread, I will post a new thread for my issue here.

I cannot seem to get zappy to work. Specifically, I cannot move or select anything
I have python 2.6 and vpython 2.6.5 installed.
I have attached screens as to my input and issue. The zappy screen is all i can do, no movement or selections. I changed the zappy_settings file for MM, but get the same results in OoT. I am obviously doing something wrong, but cant figure out what. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried black roses tut on a guide to zappy.?Start fresh there!

I have indeed. I do not see why a bat file is needed, it is the same as a command prompt. MY issue stands and I still am in need of assistance.

This is my batch: zappy.py C:\ZELOOTMA.Z64 081 0 0 check to see for diferences if it runs right just change the numbers at end.

Looks like there's an error with the script, I don't know if that's what's stopping you from making any changes.
Are you sure you're using the correct controls? Remember that movement etc. isn't controlled by the mouse:

SPOILER: Click to show

Controls:
F1 - F5: change what you are editing
F1: Transition actors
F2: Link actors
F3: Map actors
F4: Objects
F5: Waterboxes
When editing actors or waterboxes, you control their positions with:
i/k: X axis
y/h: Y axis
j/l: Z axis
When editing actors, change their rotations with:
r/f: X axis
e/t: Y axis
d/g: Z axis
When editing actor or objects, change their values with:
[: decrement
]: increment
Don't hold these down, or you could crash zappy
When editing actors, change their variables with:
<: decrement
>: increment
Don't hold these down, or you could crash zappy
When editing waterboxes, change their size with:
[/]: X size
</>: Z size
Saving:
ctrl+s
When editing actors and waterboxes, reset their positions with a
Camera:
Rotation:
right click+drag
Movement:
w: forward
s: backwards
When editing anything, you can change the instance of what you are editing with:
+/=: next (unless you are at the last)
-: previous (unless you are at the first)
Note:
Do not hold these down. If you do, it may crash zappy. SAVE OFTEN!
To change the increment amount, press Tab. Don't hold this button down either.

Yeah. I am going to uninstall python and vpython and try again. On WinXP so i know it isnt a permissions issue.

Ok, so to clear something up, in my python script for zappy that i've released in my guide, there is a change in the script that I made to make it work. I used this change (credit to Naxy, that fixed the scale range issue:
(Quoted from Naxy)
There's an easy workaround; I had this same error. Add this:

scene.range = 3

Right after this line of the script:

scene = display(width=800, height=600, visible = 0, background=(SETUP_INFO[1]/255., SETUP_INFO[2]/255., SETUP_INFO[3]/255.), userzoom = 0)

That fixed the scale/range problem for me.

That change is already implemented in my guide's release, so you shouldn't have to do it yourself. But, maybe the change is what's giving your computer trouble. I have never heard of anyone having this problem, but you never know. So maybe try a fresh script right from spinout. (no added line)
