Hi Folks. I think it'd be fun to have a New Year's scriptor meeting, same time, same place, on Tuesday January 1st. If nothing else, let's come together and propose a toast to the new year:
A Toast to Health
A Toast to Success to truespace users, scriptors, shared space developers, and of course, Caligari.
A Toast to Wealth
Maybe we could have a couple wine glasses for toasting! :)
Script Developers Meeting - Tuesday January 1st 2008
We will be holding our Tuesday night scriptor meeting Tuesday, 6 PM Caligari time, in the Scriptorium. The scriptorium is located at: tpportal.caligari.com, port: 1212
The Birds of a Feather page shows the Caligari Time:
http://www.caligari.com/birdsofafeather.asp
This is essentially free training folks. If you want to learn how to script your own behaviours for your 3D objects and worlds, or create your own meshes, etc., this is the place to be.
Hope to see you there!
Directions:
Directions for those WITH an existing truePlace password:
Option 1:
Go to the following web page and look for the "Scripting Live!" links for either truePlay or trueSpace then click the one you wish to use.
http://www.caligari.com/birdsofafeather.asp
Option 2:
Download the scripted objects which Mark created (in the following forum posts) and click them to be taken there.
For trueSpace 7.51, 7.5, and the TS Demo:
Mark created a new object for trueSpace7.5x users who are either unfamiliar with setting the Network Server and Portal Settings (the Demo users for instance).
Load this object into Workspace or any scene and then click on it. It will automatically (and harmlessly) reset your current Network Server and Portal Settings (which you can do yourself manually anytime if you wish) to match "The Scriptorium" where our Meetings are held, and it will bring up the standard Shared Space "Login" Dialog to connect you right to us.

For truePlay Users:
Go to the following thread and download the scripted scene there then load it in truePlay and click on the green book inside the scene.
http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?t=4459
Directions for those WITHOUT an existing truePlace password:
(1) Getting a Password and Username to enter truePlaces:
(Our Tuesday Night Meeting is held inside a truePlace Portal (#1212) and you will need both a Password and Username to enter there which is different from your Caligari Customer Password and Username. Also be sure to get your truePlace Password and Username during Caligari business hours well before the meeting begins)
http://cart1.caligari.com/web/trueplaymainreg.aspx
(2) Instruction Page on Port Address Settings in trueSpace 7.5x:
(Note that the following instructions show you how to set the portal entry point in trueSpace to the truePlace Meetingroom (tpportal 1111) where once you arrive you will find an easel with an image on it which says "click here to enter the Scriptorium," and one you click on that image you will be instantly transported to the actual Script Developers Meeting held in tpportal 1212)
http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showpost.php?p=43977&postcount=30
(3) truePlace "Scripting Live!" Page: (with countdown timer in PST):
(This is the Caligari Countdown Timer and Info Page for our Tuesday Meetings)
http://www.caligari.com/ScriptLive.asp
(4) The "connect to shared space" icon in truSpace7.5x:
The "connect to shared space" icon in trueSpace7.5x looks like two Avatars facing each other (ie: sharing space).
When you are all set and ready to connect you just need to click the appropriate icon in trueSpace and then enter your truePlaces Username and Password into the Dialog Box which will then pop up, then hit the "connect" button on the Dialog Box.
See you there folks!

Hope to see you there!

Doh! Sorry Kena. I should have made an announcement; we didn't have a 'formal' meeting Christmas night. I kinda sorta fell asleep from food and drink... :) |

I didn't think I was going to, but I ended up going out of town for a few days over Christmas. I'll try to make the New Years meeting though. :) |

Hello everyone. Happy New Year 2008!
2008 Can be a very awesome year for everyone, but it takes effort on our part!
Maybe one of your New Year's Resolutions is to get more technical with truespace. Maybe it's not. In any case, tonight's the best time to kickoff the New Year with a Scriptor Meeting! :)
Norm suggested a couple weeks ago, discussing lifetime of variables. Sounds like a good start to me! I'm sure there are other script related items we can also discuss tonight.
If you have any questions related to scripting, bring em tonight! The only way to get an answer is to ask. :)
See you tonight, 6 PM Caligari time. Please refer to the earlier posts in this thread for instructions on getting there tonight.
Happy New Year,
Froo |

Just a reminder folks!
In approximately 3 hours, 39 minutes, and 12.765392038495 seconds (BTW did I ever tell you one of my computers is named Spock?) ,
we will be holding our first Scriptor Meeting of 2008!
I think it's really cool to be able to have our first meeting on the first day of the most monumental year in the history of Caligari and the Community.
OK maybe that's an exaggeration but why? :D HAHA!
We'll see you there! |

Well we just ended at 12:30AM Mountain time... one interesting night for sure.
Glen made a really great new bounding-box-based 2 person air-hockey-type game without using physics at all, so it is very fast and elegant and shared space friendly... I never saw the lag go over 1 percent in there in fact while it was running. Great work indeed.:)
This same scripting will now enable us to have at last something I have long wanted for shared space.... Avatar Bumper Cars.:D
Thanks Glen.... you da man!!!:banana:

Hey scala.
You can still go to the scriptorium I think to download Glen's creation to play with it and learn how he did it.
Feel free to post questions about it here too!
