Long time no see Paul, Paul Hoffman wrote: To celebrate St. Patrick's Day: I finished the conversion of IrishSpace to the Web. To give you some facts... I tested this on the PIII with 2 browser combinations and the results are... NS4.5, CP2.1.1 - Everything runs perfectly. Doing 20-30fps in avarage. Sound streams perfect and it just looks GREAT. IE4.x, Contact. PIII enhanced with hw acc enabled. Full smooth textures and whatever you can choose to make it heavier and better looking. Runs at 40-65fps in avarage (some sidesteps down to 20fps at certain viewpoints) and just looks GREAT. Sounds working but Contact warns on some of the scripts. I'll look into this during this weekend and see if I can fix it. Also Virtual Real-Estate (the company I now work for) is offering to host this if it is technically solvible (it's a european server). I can also continue the investigation on CD's. oh... and of course a thousand THANKS for bringing this out on the web and this including new exiting tech to the community. /Niclas -- niclas olofsson christian doegl virtual real-estate gmbh mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] breite gasse 3, a-1070 vienna http://www.dc.co.at fon: ++43 1 526 29 67 fax: ++43 1 526 29 67 11
RE: Happy St. Patrick's Day with IrishSpace!
Ran across some interesting behaviors at home last night. If one interupts a streaming audio while in progress by using the Itinerary buttons to go to the next scene, the audio for that scene starts while the last one continues to run. Fun effect, but it also means that multiple streams can run simultaneously. If anyone is demoing this piece, do run it once on your machine and let everything that can cache cache. Smoother that way.

Yes, you can get any number of audio streams running at the same time, but the behavior you mention should not have happened. Load timing issues, I suspect, as the Itinerary buttons load a blank html file into the sound frame to stop the current audio, then the "Please Wait.." HTML loads all the correct files (including the new audio) into the proper frames. (The VRML, once it's running, replaces the "Please Wait.." message) If anyone is demoing this piece, do run it once on your machine and let everything that can cache cache. Smoother that way. In some cases, it seems that IE4 is actually more stable than NC4.5. On my new system (PII 350mhz, Riva TNT w/OpenGL acceleration, T1 line), I get some inexplicable crashes trying to load some scenes in Netscape, but IE does fine. - Paul *** Paul S.
