I have been working on a batch file "PC only" that will read txt files (You create)

Using the following command (dir /b > filename.txt) of the files in teh directories under the Scene directory in your published tour (both 1 and 2).

It will auto create the script file that you can load in the html created by Tourweaver.

This will Pre Cache the jpgs in your tour and will amke the images load faster. and it doesn't matter how many files are in the directory nor the dimensions of the files.

Anyone want to test it?

Working on Batch file that will create the files needed for the input that will create a directory on the drive of your choice and then copy the (2) files to that directory. S/B ready tomorrow 9/30/2010

i.e. runf file _makecache from the home directory of the muplished tour it will create a directory called (c:\cache) or what ever drive you want, then create the two files inthat directory

Here is a sample of the code it will generate

<script language="JavaScript">"
function preloader()
{
      // counter     
      var i = 0;

      // create object     
      imageObj = new Image();
      
      // set image list     
      images = new Array();
images[0]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\back tennis courts_0.jpg"
images[1]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\back tennis courts_1.jpg"

images[4]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\back tennis courts_4.jpg"
images[5]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\back tennis courts_5.jpg"
images[6]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\back tennis courts_6.jpg"
images[7]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\back tennis courts_7.jpg"
images[8]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\back yard_0.jpg"

images[11]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\basketball in the park_1.jpg"
images[12]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\basketball in the park_2.jpg"
images[13]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\basketball in the park_3.jpg"
images[14]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\basketball in the park_4.jpg"

images[16]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\basketball in the park_6.jpg"
images[17]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\basketball in the park_7.jpg"
images[18]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\eagle harbor still_0.jpg"
images[19]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\eagle harbor still_1.jpg"
images[20]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\eagle harbor_0.jpg"
images[21]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\eagle harbor_1.jpg"

images[25]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\eagle harbor_5.jpg"
images[26]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\eagle harbor_6.jpg"
images[27]="http:\\yourweb\hbc\tour\scene\1\eagle harbor_7.jpg"
    

Opps forgot to change that code to reflect the change in this number

 // start preloading
      for(i=0; i<=3; i++)
       {
           imageObj.src=images;
       }
}
</script>

If you test it please change that number "3" to the highest number in your image count  (this case would be 27)

Here's a link to the file and documentation

Please let me know if you have any questions


Files and documentation for creating cache script

Hey guys that code was good, but It looks that it is using some type of Java Script
AC_OETags.js
and I unfortunately don't know how that is working. If someone could shed some light on it I can implement it in the same way ***

O Ok I just didn't see where it was calling the actual tour in the code. But since it's not TW code then that explains it

Thanks Vilmer
