(first part got lost :-( )
+++ an "RenderaAgent 2" which will automatically force POV-Ray to the
taskbar :-). (minimize)
> In example I don't want to forbid to login other users during
rendering.
+++ Is not necessary. At the moment you have to be logged on and POV-Ray
must be running.
+++ Under Windows XP you have more options cause you can have one users
programms running while
+++ another user is logged on. The second user cannot see what programs
the first user has running.
> What is priority of started pov-ray instance ?
+++ There is a Button "Low Prio." If you press it, the POV Process has
LOW Priority (under W2k at least).
> How agent behaves when povray crashes during parsing/rendering ?
+++ If the PC crashes, Agent may try a recover.
+++ IF ONLY the POV process is ended, the RenderAgent thinks POV Ray has
ended (what is infact the case) and continues
+++ so in the later case you have to redo that Job.
> How could I try it withot knowing if I shoud start something ;-)
+++ Download the archive, start the "SMPOV1.exe" it will unpack to all
the necessary files and the Readme.txt.
> Can I set some priority of agent similiar to priority of POV-Ray
(render
> priority, gui priority, duty cycles) ?
+++ Currently not, I did not need that till now.
+++ Try the program and find out if you really need more options. Then
we talk about it for version 2.
+++ Its thinkable that there will be another RenderAgent in a few weeks
(minimize-Feature?).
> How it behave when some agent would be lost/unplugged ?
+++ Each Agent has 4 Slots. If you plan to "unplug" an Agent, you must
first unplug the Slots,
+++ then wait till he is ready with the current Job, then you can reboot
or do whatever.
+++ If you reboot while the Agent is "busy", you must re-start the agent
after the reboot (for an automatic cleanup)
+++ otherwise your pic would not be complete.
> I know I can find answers installing it but I don't have testing
network. I have working and important network. I have to know as much as
possible before
> installation.
+++ I can understand that. Just ask. Its your good right to know all
necessary before running an "unknownn exe".
+++ Do the following: Run SMPOV.exe on your Main-PC and run ! instance
of Renderagen on any other PC of your choice.
+++ Remember to share the COM Folder so he is accessible.
+++ Then first try to understand the system with 1 running RenderAgent.
You'll find it quite simpel after that.
+++ Then after some time you can put as many Renderagents everywhere in
your network where you think they are in place.
> Becouse license of programming tool tells different ?
+++ I don't deliver the programming tool. You have to go to
www.powerbasic.com and buy it for yourself.
+++ However I can do with my program what i want (still ..).
> > ### It is written in Powerbasic 7.0 (see www.Powerbasic.com ).
>
> I will see waht's that.
+++ Thats recommendable.
+++ If you look in the FORUM you'll see some comments from me.
> > ### The whole project is a few days old now, and I am happy that it
runs as I wanted.
> so now make it usfull for others :-)
+++ It shall be beautiful too, when I release it. Otherwise the people
say "oh other fathers have nice daughters too" :-).
> I can't install personal firewall on company database server :-)
+++ I cannot really recommend to put POV 3.5 to rendering on a company
database-server.
+++ Ok, if its your company. (I know ABB ... But Hmmm ABX ???)
> Again, I prefer to know as much as possible _before_ installation.
Reading sources could help :-)
+++ Come here and read em, my adress is on the web-site.
+++ they are not secret, I just don't want em to fly away in my name
+++ before they look like something you can give away.
> Since it is different programming platform I doubt it could be easy.
> Better try to investigate windows sources and (if necessary) learn
C(++) if
> you really want help :-)
+++ I am making big circles round C wheter its ++ or ## ... as often as
I can :-).
> Oh, I've seen some C++ books on your shelf so perhaps You are already
ready to code.
+++ I did that in the past. But in that case I did not want to code but
get results,
+++ so I choose PB for the Project.
+++ Small, strong, no installation necessary. Inline ASM when needed.
Multithreading ...
+++ 128 kb as a result. You can put ten copies on a Floppy-Disk.
+++ Thats code from me.
+++ Short code ... Hmm maybe I should do some funny thing and post the
code for the render-agent here ... its only a few pages.
+++ But I guess thats OFF-topic ...
If you do it don't forget to announce it to be included in
> http://abx.art.pl/pov/patches/
+++But its not a patch. You'll have to announce it in \Add-On's :-)
