- Installing the RealiMation Internet Plugin
- ==========================================
-
- NOTE:
- The RealiMation Internet plugin requires Netscape Navigator V2.0+ (32 bit) or
- Microsoft Internet Explorer V3.0+ and currently only works on Windows 95 or
- Windows NT operating systems.
-
- If you did not install the Internet plugin when installing RealiMation you will
- need to do the following to setup the RealiMation plugin:
-
- Copy NPRBS.DLL from the RealiView directory into your web browser's plugins
- directory.
-
- e.g. copy C:\RealiView\nprbs.dll ->
- C:\Program Files\Netscape\Program\plugins\nprbs.dll
- or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Internet\Plugins\nprbs.dll
-
- This will enable your web browser to find the plugin and the next time you
- encounter a RealiBase on the world wide web the RealiMation plugin will be
- used to view it.
-
- Having installed the plugin try running your browser with the file "3d_web.htm"
- that can be found in the Samples\Demo directory. This web page gives details on
- how to use the plugin to fly around 3D worlds.
-
- When RealiView installs, it adds the RealiView program ("bin") directory to your
- program search path. You must have rebooted your machine since RealiView was
- installed in order to use the plugin.
-
- As you fly around the sample RealiBase, you should note that there are hotlinks
- attached to the church and the castle. One of these invokes Netscape with the
- 3d_web.htm file, and the other invokes Netscape to go to the RealiMation home
- page on the web - http://www.realimation.com.
-
-
- Troubleshooting
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If the plugin does not start when you view a web page containing a RealiMation
- then check the following:
-
- 1) The file NPRBS.DLL is located in your web browser's plugins directory (see
- above)
-
- 2) The RealiView\bin directory is on your path (type "set" at a DOS prompt and
- check that the directory you installed RealiView into is present in the
- PATH= line.)
-
- 3) Your web browser is the correct version (see above)
-

- Using 'Full Screen' Display Drivers
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Some display drivers are 'full screen' drivers, and replace the Windows
- desktop (for example, the Direct3D Full Screen driver and the 3DFX driver when
- used with a single screen). For instructions on how to enable these drivers
- from the plugin see the RealiView readme file (rmview.wri). Note that the
- plugin will use the same display driver as selected within RealiView.
