database Image element

[Feuermelder]

I have been playing around with RealityServer for a coupla days and came upon a few difficulties where I simply could not find any solutions for...

Especially when dynamically adding image files for textures I cannot find a solution why the realityserver.exe is always dying on me.

I e.g. tried to change a file property (based on reality server tutorial cube 4) with the help of the JavaScript API:

db["file2:tex"].image.file = "myFile.jpg"

And realityserver died...

Further by creating a new element and trying to add a file, it simply dies:

db.create("Image", "myImage");
db["myImage"].file = "myFile.jpg"

and realityserver died again...

I obviously must have missed something...

Can anybody, who knows more about the Server or the .mi Syntax help me, how I can change the texture with a dynamically added picture. Or why those statements written above kill the realityserver...

Help is very much appreciated...

Sorry for the delay.
Could you please tell us which RealityServer version you were using when this behavior appeared?

I have been using:

RealityServer® 2.0 Developer Edition

Thanks

Hello,

For RealityServer® 2.0 Developer Edition we can make the following statements:



I e.g. tried to change a file property (based on reality server tutorial cube 4) with the help of the JavaScript API:
db["file2:tex"].image.file = "myFile.jpg"

As described in the user's guide (see folder 'doc' in the distribution), the texture filename is set with the property 'fileTextureName ' and not 'file':
"You access textures from the db property tree of the RealityServer JavaScript API as follows:
db["file1"].fileTextureName = db["file2:tex"];"



And realityserver died...

Dying is always a bad behavior and should not happen even when you try to access not supported properties ... :(

There will be a new RealityServer® Developer Edition very soon, where the dynamic content modification has been improved.
