Postable Imagers Tutorial

[Doobes]

Hey all! I've spent the weekend getting an imager in the Pub working (although it only works in the offline version at the moment) and I put together a tutorial in the wiki for those that want to build one of their own!

Be sure to post any comments or problems here so it can be refined. Big thanks to Kae as it was her Pub I was picking through to figure this out.

Good luck!

Thx Doobes for this tutorial.

I got a working Imager in my Cathedral now.

There remains me two issues .

1) What ever i do i can't get the "noise" to work in the way you described.
I can get it to work with ipo's but that is less nice.

2) If i want a second imager , How do i script the second?
At this moment the second shows up in my KI with a name that equals the first imager and it shows the same uploaded pictures .
However i did rename it , made onother named region, did not share the materials etc.
I assume i did share something which should not be shared.
Can you give a script example for the second one?

thx in advance.

If you're talking about the static on the imager, that was a separate plane and texture in my case. The "noise" texture is merely a placeholder for the actual imager.

I forgot to mention this in the tutorial (which I fixed, by the way). In the generic code I posted there, you'll see the references "cPythImager", "cRgnImager_Enter", and "cRgnImager_Exit". These should all be changed to something different for each new imager (example: cPythImager2, cRgnImager2_Enter, cRgnImager2_Exit). Sorry I didn't remember to write that in.
