Hi,

try changing the renderorder:

krpano.com - Documentation - XML Reference

Hi,

please have a look at the Responsive Layout example:

krpano.com - Examples

Or - show what you have tried so far or what you want to achieve, then a concrete example could be given.

Hi,

the fullscreen mode support is intentionally disabled for iOS by default:

krpano.com - Documentation - Embedding into HTML

That's because it is basically unusable - any swipe-down anywhere (e.g. to pan the pano) will be exit the fullscreen mode.

Better use the special and automatic 'krpano iPhone landscape fullscreen mode'.

Best regard,
Klaus

I updated the version online but now i have another problem (which I encountered before and am interested to hear your suggestions for): The splat transparency turns black in front of the background map. Is there a threejs / hotspot instruction I am missing? Looking forward to hearing from you and thanks again for the help!

Change the splats renderorder:

krpano.com - Documentation - XML Reference

E.g.

<display><splats renderorder="1" /></display>

But I would also recommend using krpano for displaying panos! (way more efficient than ThreeJS).

About your model - you wouldn't need to move 'all' the background to the pano, e.g. the nearby landscape and trees could be still part of the splat model.

Hi,

the problem is the range of the model and the way how the splats are sorted...

krpano currently uses a '16-bit count sort' algorithm for sorting the splats - and the splat range in your model is ~1.200.000 units - and 16 bits are just too few for accurately sorting such range.

I'm already working and experimenting with several solutions on this topic. Just using more accuracy is unfortunately no good solution, because then also much slower. Another possibility is sorting only the 'near' splats, but there are models/scene where this is also problematic... So there might be some settings in the next releases for this... (in next release there is already an automatic 'sort only near', there your model work's fine by default).

For the moment the tip from jeromebg is the best solution - make a pano image from the very away parts (the sky and the mountains). This will reduce the model-range and also the number of splats => better performance and stable views.

Btw - a great scene!

Thanks!

Belated Merry Christmas from me too!

And a Happy New Year as well!

Hi,

I'm already working on it, there will be updated krpano Testing Servers soon.

Merry Christmas and Best regards,

Hi,

okay, I will consider this...
But why is this different to using the normal download package?
And what issue of the integrity and security this will solve??

Best regards,
Klaus

(I also spent two days just bringing it back to life )

Any quick hints to that?

Yes, with current Quest browser versions the blending is working correctly.

The problem is - I don't know exactly when that change happened in the Quest browser.
If knowing the exact version, I could try adding support for both versions (although testing is also a bit problematic in this case, I have a Quest 1 too, but it is currently kind of 'bricked' and doesn't start-up, not sure why).

Hi,

which version is your Quest system/browser?
Is it up-to-date?

I ask because there are was a Quest bug exactly related to such case. Older Quest versions required a special, non-standard setup to get the rendering/blending right. But for newer and fixed Quest browser versions this special setup was also problematic and causing a similar problem.

The current krpano version is more focused towards current Quest versions, but I will check this case anyway.

Hi,

right, sorry, your post was after the backup and transfer.
But it is not lost, I will send you a link to it (by mail), then you can copy and repost it.

Best regards,
Klaus

Hi again,

the server migration is complete now!

The actual transfer was planed, prepared and done within a few minutes, but the domain-transfer and the DNS updates took way longer then excepted and are still propagating.

If you are expecting emails from krpano (mail-answers, orders/licenses, forum, ...), please also check your spam folder! Some mail authentication checks might fail until all DNS changes had propagated.

Everything should be working again now, but if you notice any issues on the website or in the forum, please let me know.

Thanks & Best regards,
Klaus

Hi everyone,

within the next few hours, the krpano server environment will be migrated to a new hosting provider (from HostEurope to Hetzner).

This step is necessary because HostEurope will switch their email system to Microsoft 365, which is not an option due to privacy, security, and stability concerns.

The website should be available again shortly, depending on how quickly the domain and DNS changes propagate.

A new announcement will be posted here once the migration has been completed.

Thanks for your understanding,
Klaus

Hi,

That's way outdated!
What krpano version do you use?

The cross-origin localstorage is no longer possible due browser-updates and also not used anymore in newer versions (sorry, not sure since which version).

The mobileVR settings (screensize, lens-distortion, ...) were stored in the localstorage memory in your browser, but 'linked' to the 'cloudfront' domain. That allowed viewing multiple krpano panos/tours across several domains with the same VR settings. But there was never any storage on any server!

Later browser and iOS updates also disallowed such storage. Now on each domain, the VR mobile settings would need to be set again. But mobileVR isn't that important anymore today, for real VR usage like with Quest headsets this is not needed.

Best regards,
Klaus

Hi,

the error 'Error when processing upload' is not from krpano and unrelated to the xml.

Best regards,
Klaus

Just re-upload that file.
Such happens often during FTP uploads.

krpano will neither generate corrupt images nor it will corrupt existing images.

Looks like a broken image file.

Upload that file again (in FTP broken uploads are unfortunately no uncommon).

Hi,

please check again and make sure to use the latest version!

.mjs files are served with mime type 'text/javascript'.

Klaus

Hi,

with the new '.pkg' installation package (since version 1.23.1), it should no longer be necessary to run the 'FIX INSTALL OSX.command' script... (unless you move the folder around).

Best regards,
Klaus
