rhcopy/rholo

Hi!

I've just copied one holodeck file into another hdk-file using rhcopy, which
seemed to work fine, i.e. without error messages, but unfortunately I don't see
any changes in the destination file when I start rholo. Actually there is an
option -r for the rholo command which is supposed to open the holodeck file
only for reading, but each time I try to use it with the destination hdk-file i
get the following error:

           rholo: fatal - cannot create read-only holodeck

It doesn't matter how I use rholo, without or without -n/-o, this error appears
every time. Maybe I'm missing something about how to use this -r option? Or is
there another possibility just to view the content of a holodeck file without
actually recalculating the rays?

Thanks!

regards,

Olga

What is the exact rholo command you are using (with options)?

I guess, I've solved the problem with -r option of the rholo command. My mistake
was that I used

rholo -o ogl -r bar.hdk bar.hif instead of
rholo -o ogl -r bar.hdk

But I still can't see any changes in the bar.hdk. Actually I've done the
following: (bar.hdk is a holodeck file from a laser scan of a real bar room)

rholo -n 1 -o ogl bar.hdk bar.hif to calculate the destination hdk-file
rholo -n 1 -o ogl sphere.hdk sphere.hif to calculate the second hdk-file
rhcopy bar.hdk -h sphere.hdk to copy sphere into bar
rholo -o ogl bar.hdk to view the changed bar-file without
                                          overwriting the values

Maybe I am just missing some important bit of the whole procedure?

Hi Olga,

You may need to include the -d option to rhcopy if you have
set the OBSTRUCTIONS variable in bar.hif. This is mentioned
in the rhcopy man page.

I am just guessing:
did you tried this:

rholo -r -o x11 your.hdk

(without -n and your.hif)
hope it helps,
