View source for VGUI HTML Screen In Orange Box

This tutorial is an add-on to the [[VGUI HTML Screen]] and [[VGUI HTML Screen In Multiplayer]] articles, providing details on implementing the VGUI HTML Screens in the Orange Box.

Please read either of the above articles in full, as this article simply provides replacements for a few areas.

'''NOTICE!'''<br/>
A problem has been reported, where setting cl_htmltarget <code>:www.google.com</code> would cut off part of the URL.<br/>
To fix this, simply comment line 140:
<source lang="cpp">
139: n_target++; if(!*n_target) { return ; } // Buffer check
140: n_target++;
</source>
Becomes:
<source lang="cpp">
139: n_target++; if(!*n_target) { return ; } // Buffer check
140: //n_target++;
</source>
The source code has been updated to reflect these changes.

= Files =

Several files need to be added to existing projects.

If you have completed either of the above articles, you will probably be replacing these files.

== Everything_SDK - Building the HTML entity ==

1. Add the following files to the '''vgui_controls''' project:
:
:* [[VGUI HTML Screen/EntHTML.h|EntHTML.h]]
:: src\public\vgui_controls\EntHTML.h
:: ''Note: If you have followed either of the original articles, this file merely needs to be moved.''
:
:* [[VGUI HTML Screen In Orange Box/EntHTML.cpp|EntHTML.cpp]]
:: src\vgui2\vgui_controls\EntHTML.cpp
:

2. Right click the '''vgui_controls''' project, and select Build.
:'''''Warning:''' Do not select Build Solution, as not all the projects build, and this would leave your mod in an uncompilable state.''

== Game Project ==

Open the '''Game_HL'''-200x project, and add the following files to the project:

=== Client (HL2 or HL2MP) Project ===
* [[VGUI HTML Screen In Orange Box/HTMLView.cpp|HTMLView.cpp]] 
: src\game\client\htmlview.cpp
* [[VGUI HTML Screen In Orange Box/IHTMLView.h|IHTMLView.h]]
: src\game\client\ihtmlview.h

=== Server (HL2 or HL2MP) Project ===
* [[VGUI HTML Screen In Orange Box/sv htmlview support.cpp|sv_htmlview_support.cpp]]
: src\game\server\sv_htmlview_support.cpp

=== Finishing Up ===
One of the game files needs to be modified. 

* In the Client (HL2 or HL2MP) project, find and open the '''vgui_int.cpp''' file.
* Near the top of the file, locate the line: <code>#include "FileSystem.h"</code>
* Add a line below this: <code>#include "IHTMLView.h"</code>
* Go to line 159
* Add the following lines:
  VPANEL gameParent = enginevgui->GetPanel( PANEL_INGAMESCREENS );
  	htmlview->Create(gameParent);
* Go down to the next function, and find the line: <code>VGUI_DestroyClientDLLRootPanel();</code>
* Add the following line:
 htmlview->Destroy();

* Build your solution, and if everything goes fine, you should be able to use the HTML VGUI Screens in the Orange Box.
* Post any issues on the Discussion page, or [[User:Daedalus|email me]].
