Does chrome cache images? If so, does it cache between maps, and restarting the game?

Would it be too hard to do that?

I encode my images as 4kb gifs, in valve texture format they are like 17kb. That's not much for a few, but when you have hundreds of these, it makes a difference.

[Wowz0rz]

How the hell do you get this to work?

[Grocel]

Can you show me the lua hooks from the gm_chrome module?

[Wowz0rz]

It works perfectly fine for me, just when people join my server it says Module "chrome" not found blah blah blah.

Binary modules do not download to clients, since they could be potentially dangerous. It will only work for people that have the chrome module installed on their game.

I've committed the browser_base ent with some examples to the svn.
http://gmodmodules.googlecode.com/sv...hrome/example/

You need a material to write to, which can be reused by multiple entities, but only one can use it at a time.
You derive an entity from browser_base, as seen in the examples.

As for controls, you can use aiming or the cursor, and click and shit. For typing, you need to select a text box. when you select a text box you enter typing mode, it brings up an invisible text box, which intercepts typing. you won't be able to move, so pressing tab exits you out of typing mode.

The only issue is flash games have very weird focusing issues.

[kevkev]

Are those GMTower examples supposed to be there?

[Grocel]

Can you make some examples thats not need Gmodtower?!?!

[AzuiSleet]

They don't need GmodTower... they're examples for you to look at. You call the same methods in your own entity, SetupBrowserMat, self:InitBrowser, self:RemoveBrowser, self.Browser:LoadURL, self:MouseThink, self:BaseBrowserDraw

It's not that hard to strip out the gmod tower crap..

[Grocel]

Can you make this whit the radio to? ;)

[blackops7799]

I'm not sure if this is my problem or not, but I made a webpage that would kinda act as a browser..

http://blackopslounge.com/browser/

It uses an iframe and it's not letting me type in any text box that's inside of the iframe. I can select it, but it doesn't lock the player up like it normally would to allow typing.

Is this something on my end or something on the modules end?

[AzuiSleet]

Iframes don't work well.

[DarKSunrise]

Multiplayer seems a bit tricky, how did you manage to get it work on GMod Tower, and the videos on-sync for every player?

[DarKSunrise]

Ah, so they aren't in-sync at all, and everyone has their own browser. I'm working on to make it synced, but for in-sync scrolling I'd need a new function.

A function that allows me to get the current scroll of the scrollbar. Could this be implemented?

[DarKSunrise]

Nevermind, I might be able to get around it.

[Amic]

How to use it @_@?

Learn Lua and watch the examples.

[lavacano]

I downloaded the example browser_base and chrome entities (because I can't be fucked to do something on my own), and the browser part comes behind the TV screen on the chrome entity, and browser_base seems to do nothing when spawned with ULX ent.

How do I fix the chrome entity?

[DarKSunrise]

Make sure you downloaded the materials with browser_base, and you need to modify the GetBrowserPos (or something similiar) function to reposition the browser.

[blackops7799]

Or download my example. I pretty much did that for.

[Jake1305]

This is what I get with blackops example.

You need a procedural texture to attach to. Like the two I provided in the example folder.

[DawG_09]

Is the module needed to be on the client on multiplayer aswell as the server?

[FoohyAB]

[DarKSunrise]

Not on the server, as this is clientside.

[Costest]

Snippity do dah

I've only got it working clientside, streaming a mp3 from my website, but for some reason it stops after 10-20 seconds. No luck serverside yet.

Some stuff I found out by reading the sources:

require "bass"

--Finds the sound file from garrysmod/sound
local bassTest = BASS.StreamFile( "some/sound.wav" )
if bassTest then bassTest:play() end

local function bassCall( handle, someNum )
	if not handle then return end
	handle:play()
end

BASS.StreamFileURL( "http://randomsite.com/audio.mp3", 0 bassCall )

List of functions:
[list][*]BASS.StreamFile( string path ) --Returns BASS channel on success, false on fail[*]BASS.StreamFileURL( string path, int, function callback ) --Can't remember what it returns[*]BASS.SetPosition( vec Pos, vec Vel, vec Front, vec Up ) --Sets 3D position in world[*]BASS.p_PendingChannels --No idea what this is[/list]
List of metafunctions for BASS channels:
[list][*]play()[*]pause()[*]stop()[*]getlength()[*]getposition()[*]gettag( string Format ) --Returns formated tags http://gmodmodules.googlecode.com/sv...ags-readme.txt[*]getplaying()[*]getlevel()[*]setposition( number noIdeaWhat )[*]setvolume( float volume )[*]fft2048() --No idea[*]set3dposition( vec Pos, vec Orientation, vec Velocity)[*]getrawtag( int )[/list]
I hope this helps someone.

ON-TOPIC: I can't wait for the new version of gm_chrome :haw:

This is off-topic I know but since Garry removed the voice_inputfromfile convar, I got interested in gm_bass. The reason your sound stops playing is because the handle is being garbage collected, I believe. You're using a local variable, so as soon as it goes out of scope, the garbage collector is free to remove it. You have to keep a reference to it.

Azu, these are seriously badass modules you're pumping out, loving every one of them.

[Costest]

also

function ENT:OpeningURL(url)
        self:ForcePlaySelect()
        print("opening", url)

                return   --THIS LINE      
        end --this too

        self:RemoveBrowser()
        self.DrawTranslucent = self.MessageDraw
end

Slap it on a Plasma TV as a VGUI? Serverside?? How would this be done?

[Costest]

I stripped out almost all of GMT's stuff in the radio
The only part I can't figure out now, is which function starts the streaming... it looks like there's 3 different points it could start from... StartRadio, ChannelChanged, or this line that says "hook.Add("Location", "PlayerLeaveRoomRadio", function(ply, location)"

Edited:

I keep accidently gmod

Edited:

Also, trying to open an mp3 directly, opens this message box which says something like 'didRecieve'.
I'm guessing that's what the 'self:ForcePlaySelect() ' prevented

Edited:

which prevents gmod from crashing

[lilezek]

It would be possible to add hooks with it? For example OnLoad, OnChange, OnFocus, etc...
and it would be possible to augment the size of resolution?

[Costest]

don't know what you mean but it's not that hook... so now I just have 2... but I can't make a working ENT:CalculateEarShot() with find in sphere stuff. it self:GetPos() isn't working :/

Edited:

Screwing with values should fix it :/

Edited:

attempt to call method 'GetPos' (a nil value)
from
self.radiostream:set3dposition(self:GetPos(), zerovec, zerovec)

:/ self is nothing.

I mean to execute a function when web ends loading, when you change the web, etc.. I did a console command to choose which web page I want, but I want to do a "come back" console command too.

[GreyIOutcast]

I made a little demonstration so people could see. I gave credit to Blackops since I used his little entity, as well as Azu in the description.

[Costest]

function ENT:FinishLoading()
	print("I'm done loading")
end

that's a pretty cool video in the video, but the quality is bad.

I got streaming music working :D

Runnin' in the 90's.. yeah we're runnin' in the 90's

I had to use Fraps, because in the demo it merely shows the texture as unchanging, since, well, the Lua/binary isn't running, so Source Recorder was out

And then, well, DivX codec refused to compress it since it was in a non-raw codec. I still have the old footage, so I could recompress it later with a less-crappy codec, but I'm too lazy at the moment.

Edited:

It also might be because my gmod settings weren't on max at the time. I'm running on a laptop, since my desktop has gotten a lot more out-of-date than my laptop (it's a new machine), so I'm on it for now. The only problem is it overheats a lot on max settings.
