BrowserPlus - SA-MP Browser replacement [0.2.5-beta]

[Teddy]

0.2.3

- fixed a bug introduced in latest version that prevented saving of usernames and passwords
- added analytics (Google)

[Teddy]

0.2.4

- added the advanced username database!

Advanced Username database

When you are prompt with the username box you can now press your UP/DOWN keys to switch between username's you've used before on that server. You can also press the END key to delete the select username.

Do note: It is advised you delete "%appdata%\Browserplus\usernames.json" as it's likely this was corrupted. It may or may not affect your usage depending on what incorrect data was used.



I think it's safe to say at this point, this browser is 10x better than SA-MP's default browser.

Maybe more

I am open to new ideas, if anyone has any. Release candidate version coming shortly after the new 'friends' system.

Maybe an alert or notification when a server hits a defined player count or something

The regular sa-mp browser continues to query the servers even in the background; I decided not to do that here because the idea is only displaying what information and options are needed. I don't see the point in constantly querying, seems like a waste imo because a lot of people keep the browsers running in the background. If they want to check in, they can restore the browser and refresh the data only when they need it.

I say this because in order to implement this, it would require a constant querying of all the servers. However, I suppose I could make it optional to turn on passive updating which could enable features such as this.

0.2.5
- added ability to reload the application by pressing F5
- added analytics for timing in order to better understand how to improve the performance of the browser
- added a UUID system; essentially a unique identifier for your install (to be used later for cloud saving)
- added the setting for passive updating [default: disabled]
- added passive updating which enables to constantly check for player and ping changes and update the server table
- added some hotkeys (+ will bring up add server, F5 will reload browser, F6 will open debugging tools)
- added a tray icon for future notifications
- removed 'app info' button from default theme; was too meta
- changed some wording here and there

edit: forgot these
- fixed an issue with passwords that similarly affected usernames before
- added better logging system (%appdata%\browserplus\log.log) for more useful debugging of future problems

I did not read the whole topic, therefore i wonder:
Basically we can join the server from the browser addon?

That is not all it can do but yes, it does have this option, yes. You don't need an addon for your browser either. It works naturally with all major browsers as long as you are running Windows 7 and greater.

That is great, i'm getting this right away.

A number of people have asked me what will happen with this; I do intend to continue updates under a new initiative of mine independent of Argonath called 'Venture Code'. I will post more about this and it's involvement in this, it's possible partnership with Argonath, and the Argonath Now project.

The browser and it's services do run independent from Argonath as is, so you'll continue getting updates.
