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

[Julio.]

You can choose not to use the SA-MP client, but you can not delete it's files I guess. Because, well then you wouldn't be able to connect to SAMP.

Just referring to the .exe mate.

[Teddy]

When you say it needs to modify registry values to set the username, is it the existing SA:MP client registries it's modifying?

Looks interesting though, also, is this totally standalone or could you theoretically remove the original SA:MP client and this would still function?

I'd be happy to be involved in testing and trying this tool, I like how you've included whether the server has the lag compensation function enabled or not!

Yes, it modifies the existing SA-MP client's registry values. Standalone merely means it doesn't need to be installed in the same folder, I cannot entirely delete the SA-MP client since you need to inject the samp.dll into gta_sa.exe for SA-MP to work and per license I cannot distribute that .dll.

I'll send out a copy to another wave of a testers with the next update.

No offence but get a break Teddy, you've been working your ass off for about a month or two.  Look great btw

Eh, might be a good idea at some point

Ah gotcha, that makes sense!

Cheers Ted.

Thanks to this semi-suggestion from Leon:


Will be in next version available probably tomorrow. As always, continue to report all issues to me via Skype or forum pm. I am still accepting requests for testing.

I'd like to recive the latest version aswell, I have no idea if you can update tye first?

[Teddy]

tye?

Judging by the proximity of the h and y key, I suspect he means:

I have no idea if you can update the first version to the latest version.

Reasonable assumption, if this is the case. To update simply replace all existing files with the new ones.

Ideally, the next version should be installed to: "C:\Program Files\ArgonathRPG\BrowserPlus". The next version will support windows protocol allowing you to launch a server directly from the browser or third-party program.

Now in alpha 

0.1.1

- added tabs to the material design theme
- added settings page for material design theme (limited settings support)
- added player list (to tabs) for material design theme
- added action sheet launcher for material design theme
- added action sheet server setup for material design theme
- added support for windows protocol ("browserplus://") ['remote_start' option must be enabled, disabled by default for security]
- added logging support
- fixed a bug causing registry entry to be invalid (which really fucked shit up)
- fixed a bug in renderer causing problems with those using Aero
- fixed a bug where the browser would close immediately on first run (or when adding a server for the first time)
- made some prettyness changes

Good job Teddy. I think this is not only beneficial to Argonath, but also to the SAMP community as a whole. Any plans to release this on SAMP forums?

[Tyrone.]

Good Job Evil.You made Argonath very well.New Jobs everything.

[Stivi]

Is this only for OSX or Windows as well?
