Everything works perfectly. Now it becomes extremely easy, a real fun, to construct a beautiful .cel script as e.g. the Galileo trip that just begin to write (I should say make pictures ) using the recent JackHiggins high accuracy xyz trajectories.

Generating .cel scripts and problems with base-64
I working on generating .cel scripts that calculate smooth transitions between a series of URL's.
Easy for Set Orientation.
I can take a start-URL and end-URL, extract their orientation information and extrapolate between them generating one .cel line for each .033 sec
Harder for Set Position
Requires decoding base64 data from URL generating the intermediate values and then recoding into base64.
As I understand them, the solutions described earlier in this thread are great, but do not deal with this issue since the required changes are not always linear and may interleave orientation and FOV transitions.
If we could map smooth transitions through a series of URL's it would be closer to what I am trying to achieve.
Hope that I have missed something simple.
I understand that:
Not sure how to think about base and offsets interms of calculating intermediate values between URLs.
Also wondering about an easy way to decode xyz URL values into corrisponding base and offset values.

Re: Generating .cel scripts and problems with base-64
Now you should use CELX for this kind of scripts, but...folks wrote:I working on generating .cel scripts that calculate smooth transitions between a series of URL's.

Well, I can only hope the MacOS port will be updated to 1.3.2 including Lua/CELX soon...
