  • AutoRotate Problem iOS

    Hi, I have a virtual tour that runs through all the different areas by itself - rotating for 60 seconds (using AutoRotate) and then transitioning to the next pano. It does this by playing an action that simply 'waits' for 60s and then loads the next image. This works fine on the PC but on idevices the images do not rotate - just remains static for 60s and then loads the next image.

    Link here: http://www.sphericalimages.com/whitgift-school/virtual-tour.html

    Here are some of the actions:

    Code
    oninterrupt(break); wait(60); loadpano(virtual-tour0.xml,null,KEEPBASE|NOPREVIEW,BLEND(1));oninterrupt(break); wait(60); loadpano(virtual-tour2.xml, null, MERGE, BLEND(1));closeTitle();oninterrupt(break); wait(60); loadpano(virtual-tour3.xml, null, MERGE, BLEND(1));closeTitle();oninterrupt(break); wait(60); loadpano(virtual-tour4.xml, null, MERGE, BLEND(1));closeTitle();


    The full XML files can be found here: http://www.sphericalimages.com/whitgift-school/

    Can anyone help?!

  • e-card plugin now available in english, french, spain, portuguese, russian and polish

    Quote from iceman_fx

    Do you have set the compress param in the ecard.php ?
    $jpgcompress = 75;

    This param is for the email image, the other param is for the screen capturing.

    Thanks Iceman but trying a compression of 10 or 90 in the ecard.php appears to have no effect either? What is meant to give the best quality? 90/100? Or does the scale work the other way round (if it works at all!)

  • AutoTour Problem

    Hi,

    I am trying to get a Virtual Tour working with a series of actions that look around the picture and then load the next pano, look around and then load the next one etc.

    All working fine however when the first pano is loaded and I try to take control back it locks me out, none of the controls work, it has essentially crashed.

    Have a go for yourselves:

    http://www.sphericalimages.com/show-reel/2/build.html


    This is the code I am using for the AutoTour:

    Code
    <action name="autotour">    		oninterrupt(break); 		lookto(0,15,90,smooth(5,5,5));lookto(70,20,100,smooth(5,5,5));lookto(40,-50,100,smooth(5,5,5)); wait(1);		loadpano(build1.xml,null,KEEPBASE|NOPREVIEW,BLEND(1));closeTitle();set(plugin[title2].visible,true);set(plugin[thumb_BLUE].x,36);		wait(load);		lookto(170,00,100,smooth(5,5,5)); lookto(270,00,100,smooth(5,5,5)); wait(1);		loadpano(build2.xml, null, MERGE, BLEND(1));closeTitle();set(plugin[title3].visible,true);set(plugin[thumb_BLUE].x,54);
</action>


    And this is the code I have at the top of my XML:

    Code
    <action name="mainloadpano">		 closepanoobjects();		 closeglobalobjects();		 ifnot(stopSequence === undefined,interruptAnimation(););		 loadpano(%1,NULL,NULL,BLEND(1));</action>    <events onresize="thumbsResizeEventHandler();"/>    <events onloadcomplete="action(autotour);"/>    <!--************** KrPano plugins and datas ***************************************************-->    <plugin name="data" firstPanoHasBeenPlayed="false"  keep="true"/>    <!--************** Open the first pano ********************************************************-->    <include url="build0.xml"/>    <autorotate enabled="true"/>    <!--************** Fonts **********************************************************************-->    <textstyle name="DEFAULT" bold="false" font="Arial" fontsize="16" italic="false" textcolor="0xff000000"/><!--************** Introduction ***************************************************************-->    <action name="firstloadcompleteaction">if(plugin[data].firstPanoHasBeenPlayed==false,	wait(load);	set(plugin[data].firstPanoHasBeenPlayed,true);	set(autorotate.enabled,true););</action>


    I am using seperate XML files for each pano - is that a problem?

    Many thanks,

  • Large PSB Conversion to MultiRes Problem

    Where there is a will there is a way...

    Thank you to Christian Bloch: http://panotoolsng.586017.n4.nabble.com/Large-PSB-Conv…-td3427328.html

    Looks like you can use zoomify in Photoshop to output the image all chopped up and then you can code the KRPano xml to take the tiles: krpano 1.0.8 beta (Flash10, QTVR, Zoomify, Partials Panos, ...)

    It's not ideal as the equirectangular projection is not as good for quality or performance but it is a damn sight better than nothing!

    Hope this helps other people who get stuck at this point.

    Best,

    Henry

  • Large PSB Conversion to MultiRes Problem

    Hi,

    I'm trying to use the 'multires' tool to produce tiles for a 35Gb 360x180 pano.

    However, about half of the tiles produced have stripes down them - made up of columns of repeating pixels.

    I see this has happened to one other person before (here ) however I did not see any answer to what I can do to avoid this problem?

    I am using a quad core i5 iMac with 16Gb of ram.

    I would love to know what I can do to get this working as this project has taken so long and to be tripped at the final hurdle is so frustrating!

    Many thanks,

    Henry Stuart
