Re: QTVR (was : Hello + question)

2001-01-02 Thread jbv



Richard Gaskin :



 MetaCard's support of QuickTime does include QTVR.  It's a great
 implementation too:  you can control the pan, tilt, and other QTVR.


Thanks for the tip.
That's pretty good news, although I didn't find any info on that
matter in the MC help stacks (I've downloaded the 2.3.1 for Mac)...
For instance, the Player object properties doesn't mention any
property associated with pan or tilt of a QTVR movie...

I will run some experiments with a player and QTVR files, but
where can I find complete doc about QT implementation in MC ?

Thanks.

JB

I have looked into this again and have found that:

put peerAddress(s) into field "whatever"

will also get the other person's ip number.  This is much cleaner than the
other way I just posted.  The key for us newbies is to understand that the
"s" variable is the part that we miss.  You must use the variable that you
chose at the beginning of the handler that does the reading.  For example, I
used this:  

on openCard
  put field "port" into iPort
  accept connections on port iPort with message "newconnect"
end openCard

on newconnect s
  --FIGURE OUT THE LENGTH OF THE MESSAGE
  read from socket s for 1 line
  put it into tLength
  
  --NOW READ FOR THE SPECIFIED LENGTH OF THE MESSAGE
  read from socket s for tLength
  
  put peerAddress(s)
...
...
end newconnect

I have just implemented that feature.  This is what I did.

 --FIGURE SENDERS IP ADDRESS
  set the itemdel to "|"
  put item 1 of s   " " into field "whatever"

The s variable contains the other person's ip information.  This should be
placed somewhere after the read command.  I think it must be in the same
handler as the read command though.

Hope this helps some.

 I'm chatting on my Win98 machine between two stacks
 with different addresses, 208.193.15.192 given to me
 by the ISP, and 127.0.0.1, the loopback address. In
 each stack I have a button with this script:
 
 on mouseUp
 put fld "sendIPfld" into vIP
 put fld "sendSocketFld" into vSocket
 put vIP":"vSocket into tDest
 open socket tDest
 put hostAddress(tDest)returnpeerAddress(tDest)
 into fld resultFld
 close socket tDest
 end mouseUp
 
 From each stack I get the same result -- the
 hostAddress and the peerAddress are the same, and that
 address is for the stack that I am connecting to, not
 the address for the stack with the button. Shouldn't
 they be different?
 
 I'm using two different port numbers -- one to go from
 the 208.193.15.192 address to the 127.0.0.1 address,
 and one to go back the other way. But I don't see how
 that could make any difference.
 
 Any help would be much appreciated. Michael Kann,

Re: Just What Does Password Protect/Inhibit?

 So what does password protecting a stack inhibit:

(snip)

You can create objects, but I think the restriction you are running into is
that you can't copy objects (the only other restriction I know is that you
can't get or set scripts).  If you could, then you could copy password
protected objects into a non-password protected stack and thus access the
scripts.

The support for QTVR is new so the best place to get documentation about it
is the read me.  Make sure you have version 2.3.2 build 6 - thats the latest
version (not 2.3.1):

 For whoever is interested I just found a Linux app (called "aps") for 
watching/debugging
 sockets traffic. Easier to handle then tcpdump and with an ASCII ouput as an option.
 Could even have a nice MC front end.

Characters

Hello all

Maybe an easy question:
Is there a difference when you use 
"characters"or "char" in a script?

 Tomas
"char" is synonym to "character" (singular)
"chars" is synonym to "characters" (plural)

Example:
  answer "You typed"  the number of chars in field "test"  "letters."
-- is synonym to
  answer "You typed"  the number of characters in field "test" 
"letters."

  answer "The first three letters you typed were:"  char 1 to 3 of field
"test"  "."
-- is synonym to
  answer "The first three letters you typed were:"  character 1 to 3 of
field "test"  "."

Hope this helps,
Sjoerd

  My first attempt to save a Mac MC stack to windows failed. The stack had the

 What program are you using to zip the program on the Mac?  The latest
 version of Stuffit produces good .zip files, but I have found some other
 (old) Mac zip utilities to produce files that you can't open all the time.
 The other possibility is that the disk has had an error - try another disk?


Hi Kevin,

I used ZipIt 1.4 on the Mac, saving the file to a PC diskette. When I get time
I'll try Stuffit 6.0 on a new attempt at standalone stacks. It looks like Mac
created stacks sent through the net open fine on diverse Windows machines. I'm
encouraged. :) We want to see how the process works in reverse yet.
