Hi,

I removed all of these lines except the last line: Code: fileName = unixFileName; After recompiling the VRML plugin, it could load the VRML file from whichever location I specified. I use OSG on Mac OS X 10.6.8, which does not seem to understand the "file : //" url in C++. Does this behaviour only occur on my machine? Why is "file : //" even used at all?
It is used because the correct local filesystem URI for a file is file:///somewhere/something.wrl for a file in /somewhere/something.wrl (absolute filename). OpenVRML does not take filenames, but needs full URIs because the files may come from the Internet as well.
For Windows there is a special case, because the file names on Windows are different, including the drive letters.
You can find an explanation of the whole thing here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme
If the filename is relative (doesn't start with slash), then it should work just fine (see the else branch of the code just below the #endif).
What kind of filename did you try to use? Regards, Jan _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
