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 6.1.5 on your machine

We need Iguana 6.1.5 because it has a copy tool vmd_tool which can be used to convert from the binary format of Chameleon vmds to the XML format.

For more information you can right click and read about the vmd_tool here:

vmd_tool

 Set CHM_PYTHON_LIB_PATH to the location of the python library files which ship with Iguana 6

  1. Install Iguana 6

  2. Set two environmental variables:

    1. CHM_PYTHON_LIB_PATH needs to point to the location of the python libraries files which ship with Iguana.

    2. 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:

In copy pastable form:
