My teacher said that if I make a program that can show chemical reactions in a innovative way like a game. I will get an A+ in Chemistry and in Physics. And the A+ will stay till I apply for High School. That's 1 year from now so if I pull this off I don't need to do any Physics nor any Chemistry since I already have an A+ on it. I plan on making the program in Lua. Start development Y/N?

All these people moaning need to get an up to date browser (Chrome/Opera).
The sounds autoplay on Opera as well. This might be a very stupid move, I don't really care about the bandwidth caps but autoplaying something with sound is a terrible idea, why would you even think autoplaying videos is a good idea? [editline]14th November 2011[/editline] They autoplay while loading the first time = loud noise when you first open a page.
So Skyrim came out and this thread increased by 400 posts while I was away. Regardless, its art day today: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZAUYj.jpg[/IMG] New backgrounds, new planet textures. The planet textures are by my captive artist, I did the background. I also found out the game bogs down 5 minutes into a match, so I guess I need to fix that.
How are you supposed to handle UI in a networked game? A lobby where players connect for example. Is the UI supposed to wait until the data changes and then update the visual side while the networking part waits for a new connection and then updates the data? Or should I set up some kind of event system? Maybe have functions for the UI that the networking part calls directly when something changes?

[QUOTE=garry;33270743] Vid's now autoplay. If you want to listen to the sound you need to hover over it.[/QUOTE] Yeah.. definitely doesn't work like that lol. Opening this tab with everyone quoting the same vid, speakers blaring trying to play over each other.. Yay for AdBlock I guess.. time to add Facepunch to the blacklist :/

[QUOTE=Simspelaaja;33272242]Firefox is up to date.[/QUOTE] It obviously isn't up to date as far as HTML5 video is concerned.
I'm on the latest Chrome dev build and the video thing glitches. When I scroll over it it pauses for a split second and starts loading again, this time with sound. That means I have to waste TWICE the bandwidth. Thanks garry for this wonderful innovation! My suggestions: Disable the stupid auto play. Use a html5 video script like [url=http://videojs.com/]VideoJS[/url] that has been tested to work on all major browsers. In your [ img ] tag parser, if you find a .gif file extension, put a play button in it's place that loads the gif when and only when clicked. Seriously, there have been pages in this thread that have crashed Chrome for me. I'm not even bothering to go here with firefox anymore.
[QUOTE=NovembrDobby;33271325]Those with Opera: opera:config > Multimedia > Allow Autoplay (false)[/QUOTE] Those with Firefox can do similar as well: about:config -> media.autoplay.enabled Set to false; or get an extension that just blocks media all together.
[QUOTE=garry;33272438]It obviously isn't up to date as far as HTML5 video is concerned.[/QUOTE] So instead of coding a website that supports all browsers, your alienating your visitors into switching browsers? That's not how you web dev.
[QUOTE=garry;33272438]It obviously isn't up to date as far as HTML5 video is concerned.[/QUOTE] HTML5 video is a working standard. There is no "up to date". There's "it's working on contributing to an open-standard" or "it doesn't have it at all." [editline]14th November 2011[/editline] It's why most browsers with HTML5 video behave differently.

Sorry for being blunt now, but you should just revert it to the way it was before, and never touch it again.
Do I have the feeling that Garry isn't going to revert it because it could be seen as a weakness?
I wonder what are the stats for browser usage on FP are.
Ah, I see everyone is done playing Skyrim.
[QUOTE=Chris220;33264572]Meanwhile, I am attempting to do something with the PAK files of Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter (some sort-of good Halo clone from 2003)[/QUOTE] Oh god I remember that game, I still have it next to my PS2.
[QUOTE=Darkwater124;33272762]Ah, I see everyone is done playing Skyrim.[/QUOTE] They will go back. It's unavoidable.
[QUOTE=DeadKiller987;33272503]So instead of coding a website that supports all browsers, your alienating your visitors into switching browsers? That's not how you web dev.[/QUOTE] I'm not telling you to switch browsers. I'm telling you that the HTML5 video supported a muted attribute. If your browser doesn't support it then it's your browsers fault - not mine.
[QUOTE=garry;33272849]I'm not telling you to switch browsers. I'm telling you that the HTML5 video supported a muted attribute. If your browser doesn't support it then it's your browsers fault - not mine.[/QUOTE] Dude, you run a website. If the latest browser doesn't support something, then you [i]must[/i] have a workaround until it's fixed.
I personally like it :v:
[QUOTE=garry;33272849]I'm not telling you to switch browsers. I'm telling you that the HTML5 video supported a muted attribute. If your browser doesn't support it then it's your browsers fault - not mine.[/QUOTE] Wow
[QUOTE=garry;33272849]I'm not telling you to switch browsers. I'm telling you that the HTML5 video supported a muted attribute. If your browser doesn't support it then it's your browsers fault - not mine.[/QUOTE] Fair enough, it's not your fault it doesn't do what you want it to. Now you know that it doesn't work properly, could you stop using it please?
[QUOTE=garry;33272849]I'm not telling you to switch browsers. I'm telling you that the HTML5 video supported a muted attribute. If your browser doesn't support it then it's your browsers fault - not mine.[/QUOTE] Your not telling people to switch browsers. Your MAKING them switch browsers because they don't want to hear the same music 5 times at once just because 4 people quoted it. Also, yes, it is your fault. People still have workarounds to get their sites to work on IE for a REASON. That reason is - that browser is popular, so people will come to your site using it, and if YOUR site doesn't work on their browser, they blame YOU. Same with muting not working in firefox. It's still a popular browser and it's your job as a site owner to support it.

[QUOTE=garry;33272849]I'm not telling you to switch browsers. I'm telling you that the HTML5 video supported a muted attribute. If your browser doesn't support it then it's your browsers fault - not mine.[/QUOTE] Nobody's personally blaming you for the videos not working properly (at least not that I can see). Everyone's simply pointing out that it doesn't work on all browsers and arguing that you should remove it at least until all major browsers support it properly. The web is not an appropriate place to only support 1 browser. Well, DeadKiller is personally blaming you but I disagree with him

I stopped caring. You should adblock video tags for now and they'll start to work once your browser supports them properly. [editline]14th November 2011[/editline] This thread isn't the place for this discussion though. Post in AUATF if you have problems. In the meantime don't use vid tags if you don't like them.
Garry, while I wholeheartedly respect you, sometimes you can be a bloody stubborn git. [sp]Now fucking revert it so everyone can go back to playing Skyrim.[/sp]
