Graphics

I would like to add photo's to a few graphics in venue and the link that has been provided for me gives me a link to pictures. The problem I have is that these pictures are at a low resolution 60x60. There is a higher resolution folder so I am wondering if there is a way to tell Xpression to use this datalinq config, and pull this headshot, but from say a 480x480 folder instead of the 60x60 folder.

Through Visual logic I have the link that I want. Now can I use a text object to fetch in image for a quad object?

A script like this one on an OnSetText event or maybe OnOnline or OnBeforeOnline


dim text as xpTextObject
dim base as xpBaseObject
dim FilePath as String

Self.GetObjectByName("Text1", text)
FilePath = Engine.ProjectPath & "Video\L3" & text.Text & ".avi"
Self.GetObjectByName("Quad1", base)
base.SetVolatileTextureFile(FilePath)"‹

@garner Sorry I am a little slow on this. I guess I am not sure where I would put the the actual text from text 1 into this script. The picture is what I have populating now.

@garner So this is what I did. I also tried to to do a material file name with no luck. Am I missing something?

dim text as xpTextObject
dim base as xpBaseObject
dim FilePath as String

Self.GetObjectByName("Goals1", text)
FilePath = Engine.ProjectPath & "text"
Self.GetObjectByName("GoalsPic1", base)
base.SetVolatileTextureFileName(FilePath)"‹

Just got it after a lot of tinkering.

dim text as xpTextObject
dim base as xpBaseObject
dim FilePath as String

Self.GetObjectByName("Goals1", text)
FilePath = text.text
Self.GetObjectByName("GoalsPic1", base)
base.SetVolatileTextureFile(0,FilePath)"‹
#XPression

Next problem.

Everything works, however when I switch teams to pull different images it will not refresh in sequencer. Is there anyway to force a refresh so often? This is the script that I have at ononline, before online and on PreviewRender.

dim name1 as xpTextObject

dim pic1 as xpBaseObject

dim FilePath1 as String

'Goals Leader 1'
Self.GetObjectByName("name1", name1)
FilePath1 = name1.text
Self.GetObjectByName("GoalsPic1", pic1)
pic1.SetVolatileTextureFile(0,FilePath1)

dim name2 as xpTextObject

dim pic2 as xpBaseObject

dim FilePath2 as String

'Goals Leader 2'
Self.GetObjectByName("name2", name2)
FilePath2 = name2.text
Self.GetObjectByName("GoalsPic2", pic2)
pic2.SetVolatileTextureFile(0,FilePath2)"‹"‹

dim name3 as xpTextObject

dim pic3 as xpBaseObject

dim FilePath3 as String

'Goals Leader 3'
Self.GetObjectByName("name3", name3)
FilePath3 = name3.text
Self.GetObjectByName("GoalsPic3", pic3)
pic3.SetVolatileTextureFile(0,FilePath3)"‹"‹

If I go into layout and put it online it switches. Kind of an annoying.

Tried that with no luck.
