Browser Plugin

#1 I've gotten the code working before. What errors are you getting?

#2 Thanks for the reply Scott,

Were you using 1.5.2 ? How did the plugin work for you ?


Here are the errors I encountered :

Thanks again,

#3 Yeah, I used 1.5.2 when I played with it. Judging from the errors you posted I'd say the you probably accidentally overwrote something you shouldn't have when integrating it. If you just replaced the files that had to be modified with the ones from the resource then I could definitely see those errors happening.

You might want to try reintegrating a fresh copy. I recommend using a merge tool like WinMerge to see where all the differences are. I believe all the changes in the files were commented as being a change for the plugin. Stick to just merging in those changes and it should compile.

#4 I used this for quite a while, and even got it working on Mac OS X. However, in the end we abandoned it because it was too unstable. We just couldn't get it to run reliably on Firefox on Win32. Part of the problem is our game is played as short (2 min) matches, each of which required starting up and closing down the TGE Plugin. It was fine if you just started it once and ran it until you were ready to quit the browser, but that just wasn't practical for us.

By the way, it sounds like you are using old code. You should pull the 1.5 version from here:

#5 Thanks for the great info guys, that helps ALOT !

much appreciated Scott & Ed
