Play in web (IE)

#1 If you are using an express version of Visual Studio to compile it will not compile the IE plugin portion. YOu need a full version of VS to compile that plugin.

If you have the full version I can't help you!

#2 thanks for the response, guess i'm confused here ...

from torque toolbox, i create a new project using the empty template, once completed i package the project and hit the "Play in web" button - the sample.html page displays in IE and the "Torque 3d Get the plugin" icon shows on the page but the game never loads in the browser - it runs fine in Firefox ...

any help is apprecaited

#3 As Chris said, you have to compile your new project in a non-Express Visual Studio first to generate the IE plugin. Firefox does not have the limitations on plugins that IE does and thus the Firefox plugin works without having to compile.

Also, make sure you've enabled ActiveX controls in IE.

#4 We're compiling the plugins and still having issues w/ IE. I assume it's related to the class id generated when the project is generated. But regenerating this doesn't seem to help, though perhaps we're not doing it correctly. Maybe the id generation thing doesn't jive with SVN... the only PC (out of 4 identical PCs) that it works on is the PC on which the project was originally generated. Is it possible to pursue a different route than the id & project file regeneration idea?

The Firefox and Chrome support is much more robust... though there are issues with kb focus in Firefox.

Our current solution is not to support IE, cause it's a cesspool of bad ideas anyway.

#5 I'm having the opposite problem. Things work fine in IE (fine being a relative term), but I crash Firefox when I try to run the game there. :(

I've no idea how to go about debugging this. prinf's I guess.

#6 @Edward: Same here, Firefox crashes on me when I open the sample.html. It's an assertion error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\xstring
Line1441
Expression: string subscript out of range

I'm using it on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. The FF is 32 bit, though.

#7 I fixed the issue I had with Firefox, it was one stupid line of code that broke the loading of the Plugin. If any of the Engine developers wants to know what I did pm me.

#8 Thomas I am having the same issue as you did. Can you please share the fix?


Thanks
