Licensing changes

Submitted by Aldo on May 19, 2008 - 10:38.

Buying a license for SPi-V has just become more affordable, and more straightforward. From now on, only one type of license is available for purchase; the unlimited license now lets you create your own file licenses, your own domain licenses, and it can be installed on individual computers like the former machine licenses. The new license type also has a new price point, to reflect changes in the industry.

SPi-V dev updated

Submitted by Aldo on March 19, 2008 - 16:21.

SPi-V dev has undergone a major update 'behind the scenes'. Some aspects of the site may behave strangely for the next couple of days, as I iron out the bugs introduced during the transition. Please report any strangeness here.

Update:
If you want to post a code snippet, please use a <code> tag instead of a <xml> tag from now on.

Scene switcher scriptlet added

Submitted by Aldo on March 7, 2008 - 19:10.

I have added a scene switcher scriptlet to the downloads page. When added to a tour with multiple scene nodes, it will switch to a random scene after a period of 60 seconds (configurable by editing the script).

If you want to use the scene switcher with the saver scriptlet, I advise you (re-)download the saver scriptlet; I have uploaded an updated version which behaves nicer when switching scenes.
