"scenes-with-imagemap.html" Example, need help with initial view settings

Run · October 17, 2010 at 7:04 AM

I am having a really tough time with a scene based tour I am building using the example code from "scenes-with-imagemap.html". I have 11 panoramas/scenes and want each one to have its own startup values. I included them where I thought they went but they have no effect on the scene when it loads at all. Actually I cant find a way to change any of the view settings for an individual scene without it being global. The same thing happens when I went back to the provided example, this example code is as follows

Code

<view hlookat="-15" vlookat="-10" fov="90" />

and no changes on the view line do anything;

Code

<!-- first scene/pano -->
	<scene name="scene1" onstart="action(startscene);">


		<action name="startscene">
			showtext([b][i]scene 1[/i][/b], infostyle);
			action(activatespot,scene1, 40);
		</action>
		
		<plugin name="mapmask" url="pano2_mapmask.png" parent="map" enabled="false" onloaded="updatemask();" />
		
		<view hlookat="-15" vlookat="-10" fov="90" />


		<image type="CUBESTRIP">
			<cubestrip url="pano1.jpg" />
		</image>


		<!-- place here scene local elements like plugins,hotspots, ... -->


		<hotspot name="spot2" url="spot2.png" ath="-42" atv="-12" scale="0.6" zoom="true"
		         alpha="0.3"
		         onover="tween(alpha,1);tween(scale,1);"
		         onout="tween(alpha,0.3);tween(scale,0.6);"
		         onclick="looktohotspot(spot2); loadscene(scene2, null, MERGE, BLEND(1));"
		         />


	</scene>

When I try to change the values set using the

Code

<view hlookat="-15" vlookat="-10" fov="90" />

nothing happens, it has no effect at all. I tried doing it in the example as well as in my code and nothing seems to work to change the fov, vlook, hlook, zoom max and zoom min either.

I really need some help here I have been banging my head against this for two days now.

Thank you in advance

Notice that the top line starts scene 2 by default first. I assume you are making your changes in scene 1 but checking scene 2 by default.

Hi, Thanks for responding.

I actually was making them in sceen one of my own code and copied the example code into that post by mistake. Sorry for that. And my code loads scene 1 first not scene 2:)

Here is my code for my scene one which I should have posted before:

Code

<!-- first scene/pano -->
	<scene name="scene1" onstart="action(startscene);)">


		<action name="startscene">
			<!--showtext([b][i]Scene 1[/i][/b], infostyle);-->
			action(activatespot,scene1, 40);
		</action>
		
		
		<!--<plugin name="mapmask" url="pano2_mapmask.png" parent="map" enabled="false" onloaded="updatemask();" />-->
		
		view hlookat="-2" vlookat="60" fov="10" maxpixelzoom="1.0" />
	<display details="22" /> 


		<preview type="CUBESTRIP" url="area101cc.tiles/preview.jpg" />

This is the first scene in a 11 panorama tour, no matter what changes I make to line 12 above as seen here

Code

view hlookat="-2" vlookat="60" fov="10" maxpixelzoom="1.0" />
	<display details="22" />

Nothing changes in the tour when it is run no matter what values I use. I don't even understand where the scene is actually getting its initial values for hlookat, vlookat and fov at all because it ignores this line completely. I am very baffled here and this is the last thing I need to do to finish this tour, any help very much appreciated because I am totally lost here.

Thanks

view hlookat="-2" vlookat="60" fov="10" maxpixelzoom="1.0" />
<display details="22" />

your missing the first < before view. try that.

Thank you so very much, I feel like a major dummy for not seeing that and I have been staring at this code for days. I really can't thank you enough.

Have a great day.

glad that was it. no worries it has happened to me more times than i can count. your first code snipet shows it correctly which means maybe something else was wrong and when you fixed that this broke at the same time.
