so I made a new post on my website mickiwiki.com and now the old posts are saying security alert "buttons" and "qtvr thingy" something or other. Is there a standard way for where to put stuff ? . I have my pages (html, xml) in one folder and then images/ thumbs in another or example.

Ah ok the license has to be there first. I thought it was, maybe it wasn't. It goes together with kmakemultires ?

that makes an empty license file.

I also just try to make my first iphone compatable photo.
the "make pano (multires) droplet.bat" doesn't automatically do all the business for it to work ?
which droplet makes all the stuff for iphone etc ?
cheers

I meant to make an example but haven't got around to it.
I don't think it is necessary.
If I want to make a cube face set that one is pointing down from the real horizon when i move in the viewer it turns along the plane of the centre of the cube faces. Is it a problem to introduce an offset to the viewer so it turns around -30 degrees for example?

at that time i tried to make the animating hotspot and wanted one of the horizontal faces to be tilted down from the real world horizontal in order to include a complete nearby person in the cubeface.
when spinning inside the resulting 360vr i think the viewer turns on the axes that go through the centre of the cube.
I wondered if it was possible to change that so that the movement looked normal for the real world horizontal ( left and right mouse / key movements are parallel to the real world horizon). I think I am right but I will recheck.

I haven't done anything with this stuff for a while and I think I will make another push.
I tried to make a 360vr where the cubeface was slanted down at 30 degrees from the real place's horizontal in order to include a person nearby as an animated hotspot thingy
http://www.mickiwiki.com/?cat=8

the result is that the "turning" seems to be along the axes of the cube whereas I want to be able to change the vertical axis of the viewer so that the real world horizontal is what happens when using left | right keys or mouse .
does that make sense and is it possible to anchor the viewer this way ?

there are a lot of *boxes. I've been using floatbox quite happily but not tried a pdf. I'll try.

I like the hotspot solution

yes study the examples and the release notes are most helpful. I understand there will be documentation all in one place shortly
if you find (search) the posts for krce the documentation in there is pretty good.

hi , thanks.

I understood the first example, the second is new.
So %1 represents the name of the hotspot and is the first parameter of the action truc ?

so it can be applied to anything inside the action truc ?
I'm a bit unclear about this.

cheers

you put the license with the krpano.swf and the tools license with the tools. You can also embed the license I believe with the krprotect tool.

cheers

mick

hi,
thanks, that's clear.
I haven't got clear what is the mechanism that the name in your first example

truc(get(name)) );"

is passed to the hotspot in the action.

<action name="truc">
delayedcall(2, set(hotspot[%1].keep,true);

cheers

mick

I leave it for a bit, go back and I have forgotten everything
can somebody remind me when to use commas and semi colons ?
as above

onloaded="set(onclick,if(flystate == 0, flyout_by_name(get(name)); truc(get(name)), flyback_by_name(get(name))) );"

does the if statement have an else because of the ;

cheers

mick

looks good . like the help index

i'd like to know how this "%" thing works exactly. I think if I understood that a lot of things would fall in place.

mick

like this ?

<hotspot name ="swf">


....


onclick ="action(clicked)"


onup ="action(up)"


</hotspot>


<action name ="clicked">


tween(hotspot[swf].alpha,0);


tween(hotspot[swf2].alpha,1);


</action>


<action name="up"">


tween(hotspot[swf].alpha,1);


tween(hotspot[swf2].alpha,0);


</action>

"1. What is the best way to show gigapixel zoomable flat images? Looking
at all of the examples

I can't find one that fits. Does anyone have an example that I can look
at?"

did you get the tools ? the tools have a script to make a tiled large panorama and will even try to guess what it is.

concerning text over qtvr in krpano I don't know. I imagine so. you can have a little bit of text as the mouse hovers over something, or quite a lot with a textfield.
you should wade through the documentation and search the forum for snippets of code etc.

hi,
yes that is helping, I will try to improve the behaviour I have.
ideally,
a panorama with various hotspots (pictures on walls). when clicked picture flysout and merges with a new scene( same image), when something clicked scene merges back with flownout hotspot and first scene, hotspot flysback.
cheers

Hi,

does that wait 2 seconds.
I think that is similar
<action name="teststate" >
wait(2);
loadscene(scene2, null, MERGE, BLEND(1)))
</action>
but I thought properly I should check that the flystate was out. I don't know how to do that.
cheers
