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

[Stivi]

I want to try this out. Pass me the link.

Does this affect the game in any way? Any known mods that conflict with this?

The link in the post above yours, or first post.

This is a standalone application, it is ( by default ) installed out of the GTA SA folder. It's not a mod, I don't see how any mods would conflict with it. It's just a better alternative to joining servers.

This still relies on SA-MP to handle all interaction with the actual game, so no, any mod suitable for use with SA-MP will function properly using this.

From 0.0.1 to the first Beta Release (0.1.7?) in less than 2 months. You are a true son of the IT Industry. SA:MP Team should hire you.

Suggestion: Update the topic's first post with the latest release, with each previous release hidden under spoiler tags. Would make it easier for us to see the timeline.

He is a machine.

When RS5.2 was launched he didn't sleep. Legend says he still hasn't slept.

Some say he wasn't born. He was developed and became self aware.

I've heard that one! Doubt it's true though - if there's one developer that could make another developer, that has feelings and can work without sleeping, that one developer would be Teddy.

I've been made aware of a slight problem when using the 'click-to-join' from web feature; in some (well most) instances it'll launch a second copy of browser plus even if an existing is already running.

There will be a fix available later today for this to make sure the windows protocol will use an existing instance of the browser rather than launching a second instance.

Isn't this machine able to tackle the doomed IV:MP client? @Teddy

Possible Plot Twist: Teddy does to IV:MP Team what he did to Argonath SA:MP Dev team and creates upgraded and successful mod used by thousands of players. Next thing we know, he is working at Rockstar Games.

Next thing we know, he is working at Rockstar Games.

But that would mean he has to pull all his projects in favor of their own.

And to stop listening at player feedback

0.2.1

- fixed duplicate BrowserPlus instances when using remote start feature

How do I update?

You can download the updater here.

1) Place the updater in your current installation directory
2) Run the updater with administrative privileges

Alternatively,

You can re-run the setup process or download version 0.2.1 manually and extract over the existing installation.

Updater

The Updater is NOT yet built into BrowserPlus; this is why it ships separately for the moment.

Done.

0.2.2

- fully integrated the updater

Updating

When a new version is available (like now), you'll get a popup when starting BrowserPlus. Click 'Download' and the new updater will automatically get to work.

Old updater?

You can either delete the 'BrowserPlusUpdater/exe' manually, since it is replaced with a new integrated (and distributed) executable 'updater', or it'll automatically be removed by the updater the next time there is an update.

Suggestions?

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