No, sorry.

Hello,

you wrote in one of the first posts, that the server has to parse the map Xml, but I can't how to achieve this... Where is the XML Map, where you're on the server-side ?

First of all please notice that this post was referred to OpenSpace 1. There's no answer to your question, because there is no out-of-the-box feature. You have to crete your own server side code which loads a map, parses it, etc.

okay, but how can we attach a map to a room, if we do it ourselves ? Can we have a doc on parsing a .map file ?

From you other posts, I know you are working with OpenSpace 2, right?
If you are referring to OS 2, then please create a new post with your questions. Otherwise if you are still referring to the topic of this post, and to OS 1, let us know and we will reply here.

Is/should the final position be set:
1) As soon as walking the path starts?
2) As soon as walking the path ends?
3) Along each step of the path, using e.g. a timer or frame based simulated animation on the server?

The first one: as soon as walking the path starts.

Hi Paolo. Thank You for server side implementation of avatar appearing.
All works properly but I have a problem avatar appear in the bottom part of screen. How can we set centerViewport = true from server side?

This is not possible.
