This is a work in progress. The converter will try and convert old legacy VMD based filter channels and extract the python code to assist you in porting the code into Lua.

Iguana 6 channel repos store these vmds in binary format often and so we have to convert these into XML format so that Iguana X can parse these vmds and extract the python code.

So this means we need to access a command line tool called “vmd_tool” which ships with Iguana 6. So you will need to:

...

Install Iguana 6

...

Please install Iguana 6.1.5 in the default position if you want to convert channels which have legacy VMD based filters on them.

The channel importer uses the vmd_tool which ships as part of Iguana 6.1.5 and Chameleon on windows.

As of today we have not implemented support for this type of conversion on Linux.

NOTE: If you have Iguana 6.1.5 but not in the default file path, please add the following environmental variables to your IguanaX instance with your updated file path:

titleCHM_PYTHON_LIB_PATH

CHM_PYTHON_LIB_PATH

...

VMD_TOOL needs to point to the path of the vmd_tool which also ships as part of Iguana 6

This is how I have my environmental variables configured on my own machine:
