Yes, it is possible.

Here is how I do it (example of .DVL file):

Code:

(pano1)
{
   type=mov;
   file=panorama1.mov;
   
   INCLUDE=loading;
   
}

(pano2)
{
   type=mov;
   file=panorama2.mov;
   
   INCLUDE=loading;
   
}

(loading)
{

   type=include;
   Image=loading,1,0,0,#99,100,no,loading;
  FONT= fontloading, "Times New Roman", 24, 7, normal;
   TEXT= textloading, 1, 0,70, #99, #000000, , #FFFFFF, 100, fontloading, " Loading... %PROGRESS% % ";
   
   PROPERTYCODE2 = codeloading,1,"progress",100,"Fade("","textloading",0,3.5);Fade("","loading",0,3.5);";
}


(loading)
{
   type=image;
   file=loading.png;
}

The problem with the code above is that it shows my custom loading image only when I open the virtual tour.
When I'm navigating inside the tour and choose another panorama it doesn't show the loading image on the second panorama.

Maybe someone knows a solution.

How do you add comments inside .DVL ?

Best regards,
Aris

There are some examples with a text with progress percentage here http://www.devalvr.com/panos/howto1.zip . The instruction PROPERTYCODE2 is used to hide the test (or any image that you use) when the % loaded is a defined value.

Aris, you can use the same name in the test and image, to show/hide the two objects with only one instruction, or use a group name:

Code:

(pano1) 
{ 
   type=mov; 
   file=panorama1.mov; 
    
   INCLUDE=loading; 
    
} 

(pano2) 
{ 
   type=mov; 
   file=panorama2.mov; 
    
   INCLUDE=loading; 
    
} 

(loading) 
{ 

   type=include; 
   Image=loading,1,0,0,#99,100,no,loading; 
  FONT= fontloading, "Times New Roman", 24, 7, normal; 
   TEXT= loading, 1, 0,70, #99, #000000, , #FFFFFF, 100, fontloading, " Loading... %PROGRESS% % "; 
    
   PROPERTYCODE2 = codeloading,1,"progress",100,"Fade("","loading",0,3.5);"; 
} 

(loading) 
{ 
   type=image; 
   file=loading.png; 
} 

When you load another pano in the script, you can use:

Code:

GoToFrame("pano2");Fade("","loading",100,0.5);

Hi Fiero,

I tried like this and it was not working, it wasn't showing my loading image:

Code:

(loading)
{

type=include;
Image=loading,1,0,0,#99,100,no,loading;
FONT= fontloading, "Times New Roman", 24, 7, normal;
TEXT= loading, 1, 0,70, #99, #000000, , #FFFFFF, 100, fontloading, " Loading... %PROGRESS% % ";
   
PROPERTYCODE2 = codeloading,1,"progress",100,"Fade("","loading",0,3.5);";
} 

Then I changed to this and it's working (I added a group name):

Code:

(loading)
{

type=include;
Image=loading,loadingimg,1,0,0,#99,100,no,loading;
FONT= fontloading, "Times New Roman", 24, 7, normal;
TEXT= loading,loadingtxt, 1, 0,70, #99, #000000, , #FFFFFF, 100, fontloading, " Loading... %PROGRESS% % ";
   
PROPERTYCODE2 = codeloading,1,"progress",100,"Fade("","",0,3.5,"loading");";
} 

IMPORTANT:
In the TEXT syntax there is no GROUP name specified and I was a bit confused when you said to add a group name:
TEXT = name, visible, x, y, alignment, color, effect, backgroundcolor, alpha, fontName, text ;
http://www.devalvr.com/paginas/soporte/ ... .html#TEXT

And by adding this to the end to each hotspot it shows the custom loading image on every pano.

Code:

Fade("","",100,3.5,"loading");

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,
Aris

It's true, I updated the page.

Do you mean a Fade() function with alpha=100 at the end of the hotspot code? Maybe this is a typo, you wrote 0.

Thanks for the testing!

I updated my previous post it was my mistake. 100 is the right number.

Thanks for pointing this small error... it made my custom loading image fade when it reaches 50-60%. In some cases it didn't appeared at all.

With the group name I think I can add a custom loading image for each room... I'm working on a tour for a local museum.

Thanks!
