I'm working on a large tour and it's more convenient for people to have the choice to "jump in" at specific scenes rather than at the start so I plan to have a normal HTML landing page which links to the different starting points.
So if the default opening scene is, say, "the_first_scene", I'd like to create an HTML page which actually starts at "the_fifth_scene".
How can I do this?
My coding skills are limited so if you could assume I'm stupid when you reply, I'd be grateful
I want to use just one xml file, the main xml file that the main tour uses, the one that is created by the Create Tour droplet and similar to the examples such as "demotour-corfu" in the main krpano dwnload.
But I'd like to send the user to the fifth_scene by writing it in the HTML so when they start the tour, they're starting at the 5th scene, not the default one as in the xml. (There will be around 10 different possible starting points for this tour and not all are relevant to the people who will be using it, hence the need for different start scenes.)
Hi all,
I'm using Onclick=openurl to open pages of a clients web site from popup images in the tour.
This is an example of one link:- _seleccion.aspx?es,,,,6
The problem is, the xml won't read past the commas. It ignores them and just opens the main page.
Should I/can I replace the commas with any symbol to force the xml to read it?
the commas in your url probably interfere with the krpano action code evaluation
(your commas probably get interpreted)
maybe you must backslash them or use url encoding
hard to say without seeing your code
Is there a Beginner's guide to krpano that someone can point me to? I've downloaded the files and don't know where to start. I've looked at a lot of information but I haven't see how to proceed with the work flow.
I have played with autopano tour & have been successfully able to make tours with hot spots & other features, most features i autopano tour have GUI so its easy, but with krtools I am stumped...................it seems I need to be expert about many things before I can even try it out.
I came here looking a beginner's guide but dont see it here, for a beginner this site has too much scattered information & I am lost where to start, reading few post I could make out that I need to drag the jpeg image to the .bat file & it converted it into a panorama+html page, but there so many plugins how do I use them?
so my question is Can I do all this from autopao tour (I prefer its GUI)
Do I need both of them or krtools is a different product, infact I am too confused as to what is the main product here to consider
is it
krpanoviewer
krflashpanorama viewer
krtools with multiple subtools & plugins
That's what I've been doing this weekend trying to see how things go together. I've been using Pano2vr and got spoiled with their video tutorials. Development there is slow and behind KRPano so I'm working in the KRPano demo mode until I get through the basic learning curve.
Thanks a lot Phil I am trying my best with this, I do use the NN3, older version for my panorama work. I still have a few I need to upload from Australia and New Zealand since I was there some months ago, due to my BA due on the 23rd this month I am rather busy but I hope to get some time this summer.
The reason I was asking if you where the maker of (PanoDuino) is I tried to get in touch with you early in my BA project(The only way I could get in touch with you was through Flickr so I started a Flickr account and tried to get in touch there.), as I am studying Interaction Design and I decided to try and make a panoramic robot, your project had interested me for some time then. I ended with working on Papywizard (Frdric's) and a Merlin astronomical head. It is pretty slow but it works like a charm. I have talked to Frdric and he has said he has talked to you about your robot.
I would love to pick your head a little if you are up for it, when and if you are interested. I do have some things that might interest you. I am really fascinated about the speed of your robot as well as your ideas about mounting it on a "Model Helicopter" for above scenery.
I have yet to try the Multires Tile making in KrPano, I would like to ask you guys that have tried do you find any difference in the KrTiles and the Zoomify tiles? I have tried the Zoomify tiles in KrPano and it works super fast.
Frdric's Papywizard with the Merlin head are perfect for gigapixel images. My system doesn't have the fine resolution that you would need but it's great for spherical panoramas. I'd like to build another version of the PanoDuino using stepper motors but I haven't had the time to get into it.
My email is philip at warner dot net and we could also talk using Skype (philwarner). I'm hoping to have some good aerial 360s with the rc helicopter in another month. This week I'm trying to get the krpano basics down where I can rebuild what I created with pano2vr and then take it a few steps further.
I am getting very much so into Spherical Panoramas as of lately, I had the idea of trying to build 2 versions of a panorama head, one for fast Spherical and one for Gigapixel work, I wanted both to be light and portable. As I am not an Engineer or an Electronic engineer I do have a lot of challenges. Same with coding, i can understand code pretty good, but making from scratch can take me eons sometimes. I added you on skype and hope to have a conversation to you sometime in the very near future.
5. If I am able to add plugins>editor to my tour then will I be able to edit the xml file & "save" on the server or is the editor just meant to fine tune the xml & then copy the code to the real xml file & re upload to the server?
hi, rinks, good questions.
Not sure if you get this already too, if not, may I, as a beginner too, know as well how to change view (little planet view, stereographic view, fisheye view, architectural view) in the pano html preview? thanks!

Thanks klaus,
With your answers I am now able to edit & add code to the xml files easily. I have tested most of the plugins some have syntax errors which the editor reports & then I correct it further.
KRPano is both a set of lightweight yet powerful tools which you can use to prepare an equirectangular image or create virtual tours with and also a panoramic image and virtual tour viewer. Its output can be in either flash or HTML5 format for viewing in the KRPano viewer or for usage inside a browser. The latest version of KRPano includes support for your projects in webvr 1.1 so that a user can access your tours with a head-mounted display directly in the browser. to read the detailed KRPano tutorial .
just wanted to mention it. this is a sierra installation.
if that is on safari 12 only its not really a biggie, but if i'd build a commercial tour with it, i'd check the browser support first.
Hello! Do I understand correctly that with this version of the display, svg is converted into a picture and there is no difference from it?
When approaching, we see the same pixels as in the picture ...
Is it possible to show svg like svg?
The problem with SVGs is the bounding box (viewBox), which makes the onover-area just as big as the bounding box itself. The great advantage of polygonal hotspots is that their active area is the same as their visible boundings (view attached example).
But there are many problems with this method.
First of all, if the poly uses a specific position inside its bounding box, the browser-window needs to be set to that exact size or otherwise screentosphere wouldnt return the correct values (at least when using flat-panos). And if you zoom into the pano screentosphere wont give you the correct values either!
