- Tunnel 3d - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1997-99
-
-
- This applet can generate a texture-mapped tunnel from any GIF/JPG image, but
- different in looks from another tunnel applet.
- Thanks for M. Kalms for his useful hints.
-
- This applet is fully parametrized, so you can generate various kinds of tunnel
- effects.
-
- *************************************************************************
-
- NECESSARY FILES
-
- Together with the tunnel texture and an optional foreground image, the
- following 3 ".class" files must be uploaded:
-
- tunnel3d.class
- Lware.class
- anfy.class
-
- Plus, tunnel3d.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.
-
- *************************************************************************

- INSTRUCTIONS.
-
- The following instructions describe how to change parameters:
-
- Attempting to change the credits parameter will disable the applet.
-
- To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
- In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you purchased
- from the author. If the code is correct and the applet is run from
- the registered domain name, you can use "link" parameters to link to a URL
- when the applet is "clicked".
-
- If you set "regnewframe" to "YES", you can specify a specific frame location
- for the reglink:
-
- "_blank" : To load the link in a new blank unnamed browser window.
- "_self" : To load the link into the same window the applet occupies.
- "_parent" : To load the link into the immediate FRAMESET parent.
- "_top" : To load the link into the top body of the window.
-
- You can also set a custom frame name, such as "myframe1".
-
- With the "overimg" parameter you can specify the name of an image that will
- be painted over the applet. The best options are transparent GIF images.
-
- NOTE: Animated GIF images are supported, but will be animated only on
- latest browsers (Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 or newer).
-
- With "overimgX" and "overimgY" you can center the image over the applet area.
-
- The applet can be of any size. If res=1, remember to place the exact
- size of the image in "width" and "height" tags. If res=2, place doubled
- values, if res=3 place triple values etc.
- (In fact, res is a sort of zoomer).
-
- The image used as the texture can be of any size, but the preferred size is
- 256*256. Try to use GIF or JPG images with a size close to 256*256.
-
- The "tunnelradius" determines the size of the tunnel.
-
- You can change the lightning/shading of the tunnel with "lightmin", "lightmax",
- and "lightdec" parameters.
-
- Yes can disable/enable shading with the "shade" parameter, and invert the
- shading with "lightinv".
-
- You can enable a "square" mode, replacing the cylindrical one, with the
- parameter "squared".
-
- The movement of the tunnel is determined by "tunrot" and "tunadvance"; whereas
- the movement of the observer is determined by "xrot","yrot","zrot".
-
- You can enable interactive mode with "interactive" parameter: if set to
- "yes", users will be able to control the tunnel movements with a mouse pointer.
-
- You can enable the tunnel morphing function by setting the "bends" parameter to
- "yes".
-
- You can control the bends with "bendoffset", "bendsizemin", "bendsizemax",
- "bendoffsetinc", and "bendsizeinc".
