[x3d-public] Holger: trying to understand how to create valid X3D scripts that run in Cobweb

[John Carlson]

I was able to get my scripts working loading from either X3D XML -> Cobweb or X3D XML -> JSON -> Cobweb by inlining them.  My scripts don’t use ProtoInterface, so the lack of that didn’t cause an issue.  So the good news is, we have Prototypes and Scripts partially working with X3D JSON and the X3D JSON loader, albeit via XML for now until we can get native tool support.  We do need ProtoInterfaces for a complete tool, but I’m hoping that will come without many more additional changes to my X3D JSON Loader (Don, can you change X3dToJson.xslt to output ProtoInterface keys?  If you like I can be an alias for field Thank you.)

I had one more question for Holger.  What about VRMLScripts which are external to the X3D or WRL file?  Thanks!

I will upload working loader to github and my website with examples.

Does Cobweb run scripts in .x3d files or are they not supported and only scripts in .wrl files are supported?  I didn’t see any kind of inclusion between the vrml banner.wrl and the vrml banner.x3d, so I assumed that they were equivalent converted examples.  I will try my own conversion.  I will also try to convert my scripts to .wrl and see if they run in cobweb.  I didn’t see any problems with X3D XML scripts when checking for the to vrml conversion.
