sound

is it true that a mp3 begins to play at any moment ,
when entering a world ?

( I mean , not only at the begginning of the song )

I use that now , is there a better way ?

Code:: Shape {
appearance Appearance {
material Material {
diffuseColor .06 .06 .06 }
texture DEF sound MovieTexture
{url "rutebeuf.mp3" startTime -1 loop FALSE } }
geometry Box { size .001 001 001}}
DEF vis VisibilitySensor { size 1000 1000 1000}
ROUTE vis.isActive TO sound.loop
ROUTE vis.enterTime TO sound.startTime

Hi, how are your holidays going?

MovieTexture (the standard node) has got an event out that might help you :

eventOut SFTime duration_changed

This event-out is fired by the movie-texture each time the media has been loaded.

Example :

Code:: #VRML V2.0 utf8
Shape {
appearance Appearance {
   material Material {

      diffuseColor .06 .06 .06
   }
   texture DEF sound MovieTexture{

      url "rutebeuf.mp3" startTime -1 loop FALSE
   }
}
   geometry Box { size .001 001 001}
}

DEF S Script {

eventIn SFTime media_loaded
eventOut SFTime launch_media

url "javascript:

function media_loaded(_data,t){

   launch_media=t;

}

"

}
ROUTE sound.duration_changed TO S.media_loaded

Well, I guess it should help to start the media when it's loaded.

OK thanks ,
I arranged it LOL with

.0001 .0001 .0001 Smile

Code:: Shape {
appearance Appearance {
material Material {
diffuseColor .06 .06 .06}
texture DEF sound MovieTexture{
url "rutebeuf.mp3" startTime -1 loop FALSE}}
geometry Box { size .0001 .0001 .0001}}
DEF S Script {
eventIn SFTime media_loaded
eventOut SFTime launch_media
url "javascript:
function media_loaded(_data,t){
launch_media=t;
}
"
}
ROUTE sound.duration_changed TO S.media_loaded

and adding :
ROUTE S.launch_media TO sound.startTime

but how you get it loop ?

btw it begins at the beginning LOL , thanx

my holidays ?

guys must be asked in december 1995 to keep my dog ,
( chenil )

and as I asked today to have Choupi kept 2 days to being free for a short 2 days trip with Bertrand ,
they told me

" we have no place for your dog until august 20" !! LOOL

so I will stay a slave on 3DSmax Smile

)

( until it works , it is a trial LOl Sad

((

...

... oups ... yes

Here is a working example :

It starts looping once the media file has been loaded, never mind if the shape is being rendered or not.

You don't need to give it a material, neither you need to give it a visible size ( 0 0 0 will be OK).

I have added a NavigationInfo, so BS-Contact (bleurk!!!) does not start in "EXAMINE" mode, and I have added a Viewpoint, backing the shape, so you don't render it at start-up.

The problem was in the startTime and stopTime ...

Code:: #VRML V2.0 utf8

NavigationInfo {

type ["FLY","ANY"]

}

Viewpoint {

position 0 0 -100

}

Shape {

appearance Appearance {

   texture DEF sound MovieTexture{
      url "rutebeuf.mp3"

      loop FALSE
   }
}

geometry Box {size 0 0 0}
}

DEF S Script {

eventIn SFTime media_loaded
eventOut SFTime launch_media
eventOut SFBool set_loop
url "javascript:

   function media_loaded(_data,t){
      launch_media=t;
set_loop=true;
   }
"
}
ROUTE sound.duration_changed TO S.media_loaded
ROUTE S.launch_media TO sound.startTime
ROUTE S.set_loop TO sound.loop

merci dear , Peter : )

btw I found by hazard a song from Léo Ferré , I adore , and Joan Baez perform here .
I had put it in what I was playing with to day , a sketch ,

http://mixed3d.free.fr/alain/maps/galerielightmapsportejourptr.wrl

Btw it took me 1/2 second to get that rutebeuf.mp3 LOL Smile

and it begins at the beginning ,

but where is a loop ?

argg

moment

I reedit too soon LOL

- sorry to bore you Smile

... sorry, my fault.

I did not expect you being awake so late, so I have been editing and re-editing the code ...

Just try the code of my previous post again. I have recently added a new eventOut to the script (set_loop) ... it sets loop TRUE.

very OK

thanks Smile

some years ago I had an ancient pupil who was playing on LouiZe

One time she invited us to that sort of game :

one had to upload on the forum one photo he took , in less than 1 minute , etc

We have to do that with coding LOL

( I was supposed to watch "Big Fish" of Tim Burton ,
with Bertrand ,
on a CD ,
but I am not patient to sit on a chair , LOL ,
....
he is mad at me Smile

btw it is an excellent movie Smile

Last question for today :

Why does Joan Baez speak french more like Edit Piaff than like Colin McKinlay?

Last recomendation for today :

Take "Choupy" ... or however your killer-dog (le chien assasin) is called ... with you, to wherever you go for holidays.

Enjoy.

I dont remember why I jumped on that today
