Awesomium replacement - Restore the classic gmod feel & sleekness

[Leystryku]

Hey.
After reading this post ( [url]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1474548&p=48542981&viewfull=1#post48542981[/url] ),
which points out that Awesomium as it seems takes up 20 to 30% of each frame,
I've decided to do something with my boredom and created a dummy replacement for awesomium.
This package also includes a gmod 10 loadingurl and ingame menu, fully restoring the classic feel.

Where can I get it?

Cons: stuff using DHTML/HTML won't work ( e.g. loadingscreens or gmod cinema, radios using sound.PlayURL should still be fine. )
Pros: no annoying loadingscreen music, less input lag when e.g. joining servers, performance increasements depending on the pc

Install + Showcase ( crash@options is from playing around with sprays aka - not related to this ):

Other:
I may some day if I feel like it make modify this to include a web browser engine :v

troubleshooting:
Incase it doesn't work out of the box crash ( in most cases [url]http://i.imgur.com/HMPzAlm.png[/url] ),
try installing [url]https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145[/url] ( 32 bit aka x86 one ).
After doing that start up gmod (it'll probably redownload the base gmod files ) and reinstall this package.

If it crashes ingame, try installing the normal package ( without the mcore folder ), using multicore rendering can cause crashes in gmod.

At first I thought that's what it did ([IMG]https://facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG]!) . Regardless, this is pretty cool.

How hard would it be to replace the browser engine, anyway? I'm assuming not easy. I know there was some talk of using Chrome Embedded Framework. How many calls would you have to replace in the DLL?

well this dll already replaces all calls to awesomium, even though at the minimum to bundle this with cef you would have to replace the LoadURL/IsLoading/SetWidth/SetHeight and texture stuff

[Kevlon]

cool

[CGHippo]

Ley you're back buddy! We missed you! Anyways great job on this!

[Seris]

crashes on load for me without an error message, ill do a fresh install and try from there and see what happens
[editline] [/editline]
reinstalled and it works perfectly now

[Maybe?]

My game just gets stuck on "Initializing Serverside" during launch when I use this.

[Seris]

only issue i can fine right now is multicore fucks with font/derma rendering a bit

Good fucking god what.
Awesomium has given me shit before, even forcing me to restart my computer on one occasion because a process got stuck in memory, but I didn't think it could be THIS bad.
I'd stick with this if most of my addons weren't so HTML-dependant, but it's really appreciated.
Hopefully a CEF-based replacement or an official update will come out to address this massive pile of garbage.

Try following the troubleshooting, seems to work for everyone who reports problems when launching :v

I could try, but it would be better if the gmod devs did ( bytepatching and hooking can only get me so far ).

[LukeDell]

Fantastic, the good old Menu.

its not really a huge issue, the performance increases i get from multicore rendering is definitely worth it. i get over a 100% FPS increase with it turned on

[Unslinga]

I've tried everything now, and I still can't get rif of the missing client.dll, I even reinstalled the game with no luck (accidentally deleting my data folder in the process ;__;)

Done that, twice.

None of the troubleshooting things worked for me, I still get stuck on Initializing Serverside

Anyone got a mirror of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015? microshit.com download wont start for me.

First start: The client.dll not found error occurs.
Second start: it redownloads all files!? but awesomium.dll got replaced and gmod loaded with awesomium
put awesomium.dll back into bin folder, started gmod, same error

havent tried using the vc++ redis, because download wont start.

Since when does the MCR switch actually do anything?

[QUOTE=kila58;48730635][url]http://puu.sh/kj02W/fdac1eeb01.rar[/url][/QUOTE]

Thanks.
but i cant get it to work.
It launches, the error pops up, i re-launch it, it download some files and deletes the modified awesomium.dll

I got x64 windows, when i try to install the x86 redist, an "0x80240017 unknown error" happens at the end.
i also restarted my pc, and tried again.

[Sleggie]

Love this, amazing work. One problemo tho, is there any way I can enable custom loading screens? This is just a personal thing since I know many hate this.

Edit: Huge problemo that you can't avoid; if you go on a server with a custom escape menu, RIP GMod.

i have x64 windows, and the redists installed just fine. Same goes for 99% of other people.

No, you can't enable custom loading screens unless you convince everyone to allow sandboxed lua loadingscreens ( aka, really, really unlikely ).
Also, I'm not experiencing the custom escape menu "rip gmod" issue.

:o I actually noticed it first, then made sure it was on the right one, then refreshed and it somehow got back here? Sorry about that :P
