I'm getting a couple of errors when I had compiled! Help is much appreciated!

Did you add the EntHTML.h file to the appropriate directory?

I'm going to rewrite the tutorial soon to use the updated code in VGUI HTML Screen In Multiplayer, so if the above link doesn't help, sit tight and I'll have the new tutorial up soonish.

In fact, try the above link if you can't get it to work. It may be a little harder to follow, and it doesn't include the extras this article gives, but it might help to follow the code part of that one. --Daedalus 06:04, 28 May 2007 (PDT)

Code

Hey, nice tut! But whats the <a href Code for the multiplayer version?

Same as in the singleplayer version --Daedalus 07:38, 11 Jun 2007 (PDT)

using VGUI screen on a viewmodel?

Codewise I'm way out of my depth here, but the mention of the 'clipboard' prop as the VGUI surface reminded me of an idea to have "info_props" like maps, keypad-codes, etc as portable viewmodels, ie can be carried around in the player's inventory (scrapbook?) and referred to when necessary. Using an HTML page to store the static 2d media would make life so much easier for mappers to incorporate text/image clues without having to compile a new viewmodel & weapon script for every scrap of paper! Any potential? thoughts? --Beeswax 08:25, 31 Jan 2008 (PST)

That would definitely be a great feature! No idea if it's possible, but since we're talking about the sauce engine, it just might be :) --Etset 13:54, 31 Jan 2008 (PST)

Internet Explorer

First, thanks for the tutorial. It's a bit confusing for noobs like me but I somehow managed to make it.

As I see it, this HTML Screen uses Internet Explorer as the browser. But in my mod I will not use intnernet pages, so I wonder is it possible to make it with a built-in browser, something to just open html files. I want to use HTML screen for other purposes so, explorer kind of kills the mood. Is there any other way than IE? Fast and easy?

Also I'm not sure if there is any other easier way to make this than HTML screen. I just neeed windows that shows what I put in it. It could be pictures or htmls, doesn't matter. Something that doesn't require coding.

Thanks again.

finishing up

i reached up to ingame operation and iv got what looks like a glitch. instead of a black window i see this.. whats wrong?

using the cl_htmltarget function doesnt work either, an errors that says "Not escaping url:" appears in console --Mikes852 15:02, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
