can the vm query whether a plugit is enabled or not? [resolved]
colleagues:
can the vm query whether a specific plugit is enabled or not? this arises from my prior post about navigation plugits.
if an author has a project with more than one navigation plugit, is there any way the vm could determine (in a prerender callback) that a specific plugit is currently enabled or disabled?
that way a player app can alter its tips to the user on navigation.

Sorry, but your question is on the Scol language (VM and its plugins) or OS3d (and its plugits) ?
About the VM, an easy mehod exists to test if a Scol library is loaded or not. But i don't think this is what you wish to do.
About OS3D, i don't know, arkeon will tell you.
You should not confuse the language and an application

i just meant plugits. another sidebar for the oreilly book. there are several vb.net oreilly books on my desk now for what its worth.
when the scol one comes out, pick a good animal. perhaps something that roamed southern France 10,000 years ago. I don't think I've seen any oreilly books with wooly rhinoceros, but then again they have published a huge amount of books.

hehe
actually since plugits are executed in another channels there is no way but using specific links to know which plugit is enable or not, each plugit is "enable" when the instance is created.
one way I got in mind to do what you are looking for should be to test the name of the current camera on the viewport since navigation plugit create a camera with a specific name.
so get the current default camera name and use strfind to look for examine or fps camera static name part.

changed path setting.
i'm still going to rebuild my octopus, since you use better downloading functions (i used inet, and my understanding is that objcurl is better)
fun loadOS3D (file, projname, pw, ph, fullscreen, bitmap, bitmap8, alphabitmap, window, container, compbitmap, font, comptext, environment)=
let "tools/os3dlib/tools.pkg"::
//etcin 1.8, the path is this:

yes I set the base directory from the current one so now the player / editor code can be in any other directory, not only in tools. (I forgot when I did that ^^)
