[x3d-public] Unexpected behaviour of X3D Validator

[Leonard Daly]

Hi Frédéric,

If I open your small world in BS Contact (stand-alone), I get the 
following message in the console:

    Loading scene C:\Users\Leonard\AppData\Local\Temp\shapley_small.x3d
    VRML syntax error: line   1 in createVrmlFromString:
    String constant not quoted with ", got N


This message comes from (I think) line 197115 that is:
             <Text string="N ">

The 'string' field is an MFString so it needs to be expressed (in a 
strictly standards-compliant manner) as:

             <Text string='"N "'>

Outer quotes are ', inner ones are ".


The messages from the InstantPlayer console is:

    LOG    Avalon     Init: 12/286, V2.6.0 build: R-28726 Sep 30 2015
    Windows x86_64
    LOG    Avalon     CDF parsing (1.085s): 631 Node-Types defined
    WARNING    Avalon     Collision/94445680 has ambiguous fields (2)
    adding ComponentTransform/TRANS_LABEL
    FATAL    S3     Unknown S3 backend default; can not create
    WARNING    S3     Could not create S3 backend: default


Notes:

 1. My version is almost 3 years old, you should probably get a newer
    version
 2. The Collision node at line 197108 is generating the above warning.
    It may be the same fundamental problem is indicated above.
 3. I do not know what the "S3 backend" is, though it may be related to
    the age of InstantReality I am using.


It would help to know which X3D plugin you have installed and/or are 
using in your web browser. No web browser natively supports X3D. There 
are two JavaScript libraries that might work for you - X3DOM and X-ITE; 
although, the size of your world may be too large for them.

I do not know about the X3D Validator.
