Eos Editor Preview - Milovana's new interactive webtease editor

[Philocalist]

Hi guys,
I'm making a massive tease and I would really not like to run into a total tease size limit unprepared.
I couldn't find anything so I ask. Is there a limit at all to teases? If there is do you know how much content is allowed?
P.S. I reposted it in the fear that no one sees this on the previous page

There isn't a limit per se. At some point, the editor will run out of memory depending on how powerful your computer is. You'll probably notice the editor slowing down considerably long before you max out. Specifically, saving will likely become slower and slower I'd guess.

The server should be able to handle whatever you throw at it. And the viewer should also be able to handle quite large teases although I could see that eventually breaking, especially on less powerful devices.

I'd definitely be interested what issues you end up running into. The system can be made more efficient. I could even work on features that would make the maximum tease size effectively infinite. But it would get more complicated, so I don't know if it would be worth it. Sometimes, having some kind of limit can be a good thing.

Thanks for the answer, that's a relief to hear. For the notice I'm not planning to deliberately max it out, but as of now I sense that it probably will be the largest tease so far. I will optimize for sure.

Hi, I have just release my first tease, and from the creation process and bug fix have a few suggestions for future features -

Ability to increase sound volume over time, rather than only at next sound file. For example, if I am playing a series of 30s clips no issue to increase each from the last, if I am playing a series of 4 minutes clips then it doesnt really work so well

High speed test - Testing is very time consuming, it would be great if I could set it to run at 10x normal speed or even more (including the sounds files) so it is much quicker to check everything is running properly

Glitch help - I have a number of issues where a tease hangs for no apparent reason, any kind of direction in test mode would make life easier

Random - I am noticing random isn't very random. For example a file with 600+ images, and using '*' to select random images from said file you seem to get the same images being shown

Pic change - a big component of my tease is slideshows, and this is very akward to implement. if there was an option to automate showing x slides from x folder and at either a set or accelerating pace that would be great

For some reason trying to play the same sound file twice in a row on 2 consecutive or even non consecutive slides seems to confuse EOS.

Overall though EOS is fantastic, so again thank you for creating such an amazing tool and letting us use it

Hi!
Maybe a stupid question about the audio module...
I want to play an audio file across pages with an infinity loop and control the volume.

Page1
Start of audio file with an action and identifier

Page2
volume control over identifier

Page3
I want to stop the audio file

Page4
I want to play a new file with same identifier


The only way I found to stop the audio file is by this one?

Code: Select all

Sound.get('myvar').pause()

But when I then want to start a new mp3 file with the same identifier the tease breaks.

I want to create an estim tease with a loooooot audio files so I don't want to start with a new identifier, specially beacause I want to randomnise the files, so maybe I don't know the identifier on some point.
And maybe it will reduce performance when there are 500 paused audio streams in the background?

Is there a kind of stop or end command? Or can I change the mp3 file from an audio stream?
I tried it with something like but had no luck.

Code: Select all

Sound.get('myvar').end()
Sound.get('myvar').stop()

And how is the command to initial play an audio file with code?
I don't want to add the action all the time, would be way easier to start this by command.

Thanks for help!

Anyone?
Tried a few workarounds but it's very painful to start a new identifier each time, using the file name is also not possible because I want maybe to play a file twice in the script and need to start them from the beginning for ramp ups.

I fixed the bug which made it impossible to reuse identifiers. Doing so should now work fine.

If you want to explicitly remove an audio clip, you can use the new destroy() method which will stop the clip and unregister the identifier.

I also added stop() to pause and rewind a clip and seek(time) to go to a specific time in the clip.

Hope that helps!

Thanks!
Exactly what I was looking for!

Uploading a JSON backup doesn't seem to work anymore.

As test, I tried making a backup of an existing tease and and then immediately uploading it into another tease and nothing imports.

hi peeps just wondering if anyone was fixing the EOS issue at the minute a few users are having (maybe everyone)

basically the pages/images wont save on new teases. apparently older teases can be edited and worked on fine but new teases will not save.

thanks for your time :)

This sounds like it's a part of a larger problem that Moody896 and many other people are having where new teases in the editor don't save anything despite saying "saved" in the top right corner. Refreshing the page or attempting to play test the tease exposes the bug. To my knowledge this has been an issue for about three weeks now.

I fixed the bug which made it impossible to reuse identifiers. Doing so should now work fine.

This issue has the potential to prevent all users from creating new Eos teases for the site. Is the Milovana team aware of it?

Same Issue here.

[kksavas]

can i edit existing eos or download them ?!

[TrashDick]

Having the same problem that EOS teases won't save pages/images anymore.
This is kind of a big deal imo.

[seraph0x]

The issue with new Eos teases should be fixed.

I'm sorry that it took so long!

[Quarz]

Yes, seems to work fine again.
Thanks for the fix!

[Lamei]

Thank you very much seraph0x! The editor is a great peace of software and i'm very happy it's working again.

Awesome news, can finally continue tweaking my tease, thanks to the big dog for fixing this.
