You are the best french rgss2 scripter! This will provably be used as a framework in Phoenix script and Enix 2 (MMORPG)

OK, I tested it, i don't like how it blacks out for a few seconds if I write something or click and such.

A little buggy (for example, if I call the script from an event the map I called it from reappears for a few seconds while I'm browsing sometimes) but otherwise it works surprisingly well! Could be useful!

It opens up the webpage at the beginning of the game, and when i try to call it it doesn't work. i get the error message:

Argument error occurred while running the script

wrong number of arguments (0 of 1)

Well, the last line of the script is a sample call.
You have to remove it before using that.
And you can replace the url by your own.

Hey berka, you should tweak the update method more, while you click on something or write, it either shows a black screen, if launching directly, or if from a map, it shows the map you launched it from for a few seconds.

Aug 5 2009, 02:37 AM

Oh yes, this is very useful!
I looked for a way to show mein Handbook ingame and and with this here I can call it as a PDF by Script!
I love it!

Edit: Oh man, there is a major bug: If I resize the Window by clicking the button, the window isn´t really 544*416 px! In addition I can pull the window bigger when I pull at the corners.... Pls fix this....

AmIMeYet

Aug 5 2009, 03:47 AM

Pretty nice

Oh, and the dll's creator is called Jeff Glatt.
I will add though, that there are some security issues with this (using IE as a base is not the brightest idea ever; almost no security), and there are some possible memory leaks, etc.

So guys, be carefull what url you throw at your users!

Great! It supports php, JavaScripts, RubyOnRails and all that special stuff?

Not planning to use it, but will be good to know!

is there anyway to make the internet part of this just a small hud. i might link my forum's chat window into the game

Xzygon

Dec 24 2009, 04:40 PM

Lol, necroposter!

As far as I can tell, no, there's no way to make it into an HUD. It put the WHOLE browser into the game, it doesn't turn it into a little hud.
Even if you can turn it into a HUD, you'll have to make it center exactly onto the chat window and lock it there, otherwise the player can just move about the window and exit the chat altogether, and I'm pretty sure you don't want that.

Nobody yet got this error, so you must have been trying to do something yourself. And as we cannot see what you did (script code) we cannot help. Also for the Syntax error, that's usually the easiest error to fix, if you look at the script. But we cannot see the code so = no help.

Can I post your script on another site, "http://www.niotsoft.com"?

@sailorspx: could you post your call there ?

When I use your script in a event, the player outputs the error, "SyntaxError occured while running script."
This is my script.

ex. D:/program file/{game name}/instruction.HTML

Mar 14 2011, 05:53 AM

Totally awesome

I'll be needing this in my game Solid Beats, of course I'm also wondering if it can just load .html files like the above person said, since that's what I'm planning to do with it. Custom web browser xD (I know how to code html files)

stripe103

Mar 14 2011, 10:21 AM

I think it can. But the address may be such as jomar says, or it can be with for example file:// in the beginning, so just try it out. Test everything that you can find out.

Mar 19 2011, 12:31 PM

Hi,

The script is able to display every kind of html pages. The type of protocol does not matter as long as the file is founded: file, http, https or even ftp are supported.

Thanks for using my script

Pretty good, but has no security software with it. I doubt you would want to create security software with it anyway though.

stripe103

Aug 13 2011, 11:55 PM

I don't remember how it is with this script, but if there isn't any address bar, then it's up to the developer(s) to make sure the pages used is secure.
If there is an address bar, then it's just like any kind of browser, it's up to the user on what pages they visit.

Make sure to download the dll file (the link is directly where the script is), and put it in the root folder of your game (along the top in your game's editor >> Game >> Open Game Folder).
