Peasy Cam on Processing 2.2.1

Hi!

I am trying to use Processing 2.2.1 instead of Processing 3 and I have to use Peasy Cam. After updating the Peasy Cam, now I cannot use it on Processing 2.2.1 I looked for the older versions of Peasy Cam on Github and tried downloading them. Unfortunately, when I place those older versions both Processing 3 and Processing 2.2.1 won't read the library. I get the error saying a library is missing. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thank you!!

    Processing 3 got the option to choose a different "sketchbook" path, so it doesn't mix up w/ P2 & P1.

    ah thats cool! I wish I knew it before updating my libraries! :)

    Still, does it make any sense that I download the older releases of PeasyCam and place it in my sketchbook folder but processing 2.2.1 wouldn't see the libraries.

    Much probably you've updated your shared sketchbook libraries via P3.
    After that, those libraries become incompatible w/ P2! :-&

    haha yes, exactly. therefore I deleted them and downloaded the older releases of the libraries, like Peasy Cam from Github. I placed them to my sketchbook libraries. Somehow now Processing 2.2.1 and also Processing 3 give the error that the library Peasy Cam is missing. I checked several times if the folders are correct and or if I make any spelling mistakes anywhere of if I copy/paste in a wrong directory but no... :-/ So maybe I am downloading the wrong files? I am downloading the older releases from this link (https://github.com/jdf/peasycam/releases) are there other links?

    ... and downloaded the older releases of the libraries, ...

    Directly downloading a 3rd-party library for Processing should be the last recourse! :-@

    We should always choose 1st to download from PDE's contribution manager before attempting other methods! *-:)

    Just make sure Processing 3's sketchbook location isn't the same as P2's & P1's. L-)

    hahah :) thanks. well I am sorry!! But I really tried to download it first through the contribution manager and got the following error.

    java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: peasy/PeasyCam : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

    and then, now after your suggestion, I placed the p3 sketchbook to the other folder, cleaned all my libraries in p2 and restarted. Downloaded the peasy cam through the contribution manager. I still have the same error. And, really this error is new, happened after I updated the peasy cam in the fisrt place. I did not update or change anything on my Java version :-/

    Sorry to bother you this much, its just annoying that I have spent half day trying to understand what I am doing wrong.

    I hope you're not confusing things about the installation's folder and the sketchbook's folder! :-SS
    We don't modify the contents within the installation's folder.
    On the other hand, we can choose sketchbook's folder path from preferences menu.

  • omerpekinomerpekin

    hmm no, now I have p2 which has a sketch folder setup as default and p3 and I manually assigned another folder for that. I also have all the other libraries running in both p2 and p3. its just peasy cam is creating this error.

    If Peasy is the only library not working for P2, you're better off opening an issue on its GitHub: (:|
