gm_chrome - Awesomium binding

[CapsAdmin]

[QUOTE=Cornelisjuh;19860632]Why use this addon as you can just shft+tab and use the browser of steam :/[/QUOTE]
Because you can't control the steam browser with lua.

[Colton Rappe]

The help is much appreciated, I will see if this helps things. Thanks Again Grocel.

[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;19866982]Because you can't control the steam browser with lua.[/QUOTE]
Sorry, i think i did het the whole idea wrong... So basicly you can you this in lua addons, for example, make a script when you press a butten the browser pops up, am i correct ?

[Grocel]

Yes a bit, it's an almost full valency browser (downloads are deactivated) that you can control via lua, that mean you can have a 2d window in a 3d space or a window in a derma panel, you can make it wire control able, you theoretically even could make a lua/wire bot that surfs for you the Internet. :D

Here is a small documentation of the lua functions of the gm_chrome module:

- browser = chrome.NewBrowser(Width, Height, ITexture (the texture data of the chosen texture), Metatable:GetTable() (don't know what it means, it's probably a table from a Metatable)) --Returns the browser on success, false or nil on fail

- browser:LoadHTML(HTML string) --Crates a HTML page and open it
- browser:LoadURL(URL string) --Opens the page at the given URL string

- browser:MouseMove(X float number,Y float number) --Sets the mouse position, between 0 and 1 on both axis
- browser:MouseUpDown(Pressed boolean, unkown number (let it 0)) --Presses the left mouse in the browser (true = pressed and false = not pressed)
- browser:MouseScroll(int number) --Scrolls the browser by the amount of the number value
- browser:KeyEvent(int number of an ASCII key, unkown boolean, unkown boolean) --Enters a key to the browser

- browser:Update() --Updates the browser and browser Texture when called
- browser:Free() --Removes the browser and free the texture from the browser, so the texture is no longer used by the browser

- function Metatable:onChangeTargetURL(url, status) --Unknown when it calls (seems not to work...), it returns a url string and a int number of status code
- function Metatable:onBeginNavigation(url) --It calls when the browser begins to navigate, it returns a url string
- function Metatable:onBeginLoading(url, status) --It calls when the browser begins to load, it returns a url string and a int number of status code
- function Metatable:onFinishLoading() --It calls when the loading was Finished
- function Metatable:onChangeFocus(focus) --It calls when you click on a text field, it returns a focus boolean (if clicked inside a text field then true else false)

NOTE: One texture can used by only one browser!

This Module uses a Texture you chosen and edit it, so you can the source energy can use it like a normal texture, but the texture must have some spacial settings.
This Texture can also used with the lamp tool as a projector, when the browser:Update() function is called in a think hook instant of a draw hook, if you call it in the draw hook the Browser-Texture will only refresh when you lock at it, in a think hock the Browser-Texture will update all the time. ;)

If I forgot something or something is wrong say it please, I will correct it soon. ;)

Doesn't the function's name speak for itself?

[QUOTE=Skondra;19897272]Doesn't the function's name speak for itself?[/QUOTE]

Yes, but it seems not to work. :/

Edit: Documentation updated, again. :)

[longbyte1]

If I don't download Awesomium, then what changes?

[editline]h[/editline]

This is so complicated! I don't understand which folder to put in lua\includes\modules!
[QUOTE=readme]

gm_chrome goes in lua/includes/modules
The two binaries from awesomium go in the garrysmod folder, where hl2.exe is

[/QUOTE]

So I put the gm_chrome folder (the one inside the gm_chrome folder) in that folder specified in the readme. (the one with the c++ libraries and all that crap)
Is this confusing?
[IMG_THUMB]http://i44.tinypic.com/iptljs.png[/IMG_THUMB]
Like that?

[Grocel]

gm_chrome must be a DLL file, the Readme means the DLL file not the folder. ;)

[longbyte1]

Then why is it already there? I [B]never[/B] put it there. And Awesomium's already where it's supposed to go.

Or so I forgot I put it there, because can you open a gm_chrome browser window, because I don't know the command.

[editline]f[/editline]
Oh well....
I anyways updated the files.

[nexitem]

Steam Browser runs fine enought for me, Well use the STEAM UI BETA.

Steam is using Google-Chrome in the UI-Beta, not the ugly and slow IE shit :)

[longbyte1]

gm_chrome does not look like it's active and running. Still, how am I supposed to know if it's active or not?

[editline]g[/editline]
Hello? Where can I post for help?

[Grocel]

You need to develop lua files for it, dll modules are usually not for end users.

Here is my lua documentation for the gm_chrome I posted some time ago:
[url]http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=19887032&postcount=216[/url]

If you don't want to code a browser then look in this SVN here:
[url]http://svn.xp-dev.com/svn/2d3d_Browser[/url]

It it contents a working browser, a working stream radio and the dll files witch you must install by running the Install_Chrome_Modules.bat file after downloading the SVN in your addons folder as an addon.

If you want to make your own browser, you learn from this very well. ;)

[QUOTE=iRzilla;21650733]Wait, now that Azui is a GMod developer. Won't this module be included in GMod by default, or is that against some sort of licensing? :|[/QUOTE]

Garry/Facepunch Studios would need to pay probably [url=http://www.khrona.com/products/awesomium/licensing/]thousands of dollars[/url] to license it. Although the Independent license might do.

This is the newer a version, the version that uses gm_chrome is older and may not need a payment. Commercial licensing of Bass ([url]http://www.un4seen.com/[/url]), that could fit to gmod, is cheaper, it costs $100 if you use it for any Product that cost less then $40 each, you can use it on may products you want, so if Garry sell 20 copies of gmod ($10/2*20) then bass' costs were compensated. ;)

But year, it's expensive, even maybe to expensive. :(

Making your own internet browser render energy, would solve the problem, but it's hard to do it...

I'm not a Lua coder, though I can read simple Lua scripts.

Is this the svn repo where the gmt tower radio is and the little browser Sent is?

Can you prepare that lamp texture projector thingy?

[editline]f[/editline]
Hey, thanks for the SVN repo you made.

[editline]05:30PM[/editline]

Wait... Something just happened! The hooks are there (the commands) but the browser does not appear to work.
When I press e on the browser entity:

Warning: Unhandled usermessage 'Chrome_UserPlayer_message'

I tried resetting the browser:

] Chrome_Reset_Browser 
Unknown command: lua_reloadent_sv
Unknown command: lua_reloadent_cl

Help me, and never mind about the lamp thingy. It was in the little addon.

Thank you for all your hard work making this repository of a configured gm_chrome!

[/QUOTE]

The projector is Inside the addon, you need to spawn a browser first, then use the lamp tool of gmod or wire, set it with the "Grocel_chrome/browser" material, then control it via the browser entity and enjoy. :)

[/QUOTE]

Did you run the "Install_Chrome_Modules.bat" file in this addon? You need to run it before or it will not work, because it copies besides the dlls a text file (for version checking) too.
Please enter Chrome_PrintVersion in the console, and then send me the condump.

[longbyte1]

I did run the batch file, it's still not working.
Here's the "condump":

[/QUOTE]

1. Remove the GMT stuff, Thay don't work on sandbox servers: entities/gmt_radio/cl_init.lua, entities\gmt_room_tv\shared.lua

2. Re-download the the complete SVN of the 2d3d browser to you addons folder as an addon from this link: [url]http://svn.xp-dev.com/svn/2d3d_Browser[/url]
your SVN is broken or using a outdated link (the link was moved some time ago) the correct revision is 30 not 65. :)

3.

entities/sent_internetbrowser/cl_init.lua:24: attempt to call global 'MakeRT' (a nil value)

is the Error that brake the browser, reinstall this addon (like in the 2ed point), check if your gmod is updated and test again. if it not working give me again a condump and a screenshot of the not working browser.

4. Your dlls are installed right and are working, it must be a conflict with another addons (your addon folder could be clearer, some of you addons are not working and throwing errors. ;)) or your gmod version is may outdated.

[longbyte1]

It's not a lua error, I did delete the GMT stuff, but I am not sure if I did download the gmod update. I will try to give more info, but right now the radio in the addon IS working, and the lamp texture seems to be half-working because of the browser glitch.

[editline]f[/editline]
Oh, I just updated the addon and TortoiseSVN said it was revision 30, so that's good...

And here's the stuff......

Thank you for the stuff, nice the radio is working. :)
Delete this addon and re-download it please, I think a file is missing: browser_base/entities/browser_base/shared.lua (It's the base send, it has the browser render code inside)
It's used by browser_base/entities/sent_internetbrowser/cl_init.lua
And if it not there, then it will cause this error on game start:

entities/sent_internetbrowser/cl_init.lua:24: attempt to call global 'MakeRT' (a nil value)

edit:
Azu you can find a free alternative to Awesomium here: [url]http://berkelium.org/[/url]
It was originally posted in the gmod update threat.

[longbyte1]

I thought I did download it already.... Do I have to download this a 3rd time, because I'm not very sure I do have the update or not....

[Grocel]

[QUOTE=longbyte1;21732167]I thought I did download it already.... Do I have to download this a 3rd time, because I'm not very sure I do have the update or not....[/QUOTE]

I'd mean the addon not your gmod, your gmod seems to be updated, did you download this addon into a another svn like gmod beta, version check says revision 65?

I'd some screenshots of my Working browser: [url]http://www.file-upload.net/download-2489073/screenshots.zip.html[/url]
And a condump of my console: [url]http://pastebin.com/DR9jmN87[/url]
Id Updated the svn to reversion 31, to update the version check script. ;)

[longbyte1]

Very nice. All right, I will do the update and see the results.

[editline]f[/editline]
GMod does not even detect the addon!
Never mind, I forgot to run the bat file.
Wait, it still does not detect it.

[longbyte1]

Well, the thread is still active but the discussion with Grocel has been taken to PM's.

[Map in a box]

Revert your changes, update the svn and try again. ;)

[QUOTE=abp1192;14009677]No offense, but there isn't really a point to this. You can just open the steam web browser.[/QUOTE]

acually ther is a point steam browser is glitchy

[longbyte1]

It's not glitchy, the point about gm_chrome is so you can make a browser and turn it into a projector for your personal Garry's Mod reasons. And it's really hard to link a game on the Steam Community In-Game menu, so it's nearly impossible to link the Steam Browser on GMod, but only Garry can do it.

[Grocel]

Have some one an idea what the function BASS.p_PendingChannels of gm_bass does or returns?
