Dynamic load of scenes in a *.vpr

[torstenb]

Hey there,

We have a project with a really whole bunch of content and want to split it up in a system of subscenes.
So to minimize compiling time, if there is a change in one subscene, is it possible to load *.vzs, *.vza or even better *.vpr files within a running main presentation by updating a linked file (like one can do with images or xml-files...).
Any suggestions on doing that?

thanks in advance!

regards. t.

I don't know about an internal Ventuz function, but you could use the "FileSystemWatcher" from System.IO in a C# script and handle its "Changed" event to reload the Scene, when the event is raised.

hi eric,

watching the file system is no problem.
i want to compile a main presentation (*.vpr) without including the subscenes. i want to link the scenes dynamically in an external folder to change them without compiling the main scene again.

Hi,

you can not dynamically load scenes from outside the .vpr.

you could run the presentation in director mode!

it is at the end the same like the designer....but without gui! so no need to export anything...just start presenter with some command lind options

At the risk of stating the obvious, and I may be missing something, but the Scene Port doesn't do what you need?

[torstenb]

to change the scene in sceneport i have to embedd it within the vpr which increases the compilation time and also startup time of the scene, if i have hundreds of scenes. i also have to compile the entire project (vpr) if there is a change in one subscene.

correct me if i'm wrong.

regards!

You can just start the project in Director Mode. That means you do not have to pack it as a vpr. The Director Mode just works on your folder. This way you can easily add scenes and access them with a scene port. You can add vzs plus the assets (textures etc) manually, or use the AutoImport Option to add a vza.
