OSAKit?

Anyone ever tried to use OSAKit? With or even without Acknex?

yes but no success. probably you can find the thread in this forum.

I remember "Yes, with success" like 5 years ago. Though, mainstream Chrome disabled NPAPI plugins(including java and unity player). Right now, only feasible way to serve games on browser is by exporting to html5/webgl without any plugins and/or asm.js/emscripten. AFAIK, ue4 and unity can do thisi

That's pretty sad to hear.. I wanted to avoid using another engine, but it seems that it's the only way to go.

Thank you guys! My best regards

It's not a browser game if it requires me to install a plugin. Simple as that.

thanks Quad for the info.
by the way I've never seen any 3dgs game running in browser, only failed attempts. but apparently it does not matter any more.
moreover, my youtube app in my tv also does not work because of recent tech changes by google.

I remember one running in a browser, very long time ago, you probably weren't even here yet. But I couldn't find the thread and I don't remember what they used to get it running in a browser.

I did some searching on the forums and found this link, it says you should not even use OSAKit cause its insecure:

You probably mean this?Maybe it's not secure (and that's probably one of the reasons why Chrome disabled NPAPI plugin). But I can tell you this
Or this
Or even this
So it actually works (or worked), and people were satisfied with the results so far.

BTW, I guess example which I've seen before was probably this one:
But I'm not sure, cause I've thought that I've seen it before I've made my current account (in 2009).

But anyway, I think it's better to make your games another engine (that supports multiplatforming), if you aiming to publish browser game. Even unity is better (with it's plugin), cause people do hear about it, and they know UNITY game engine, and that there are dozen of games made with it. And they can understand, that installing this simply one plugin (for unity) will allow them to play dozen of games over the web, so it won't be like installing plugin just for one game..

Recently I came across 'GameMaker Studio', and I've found out that it's scripting looks very familiar to old c-script, here is an example:

Seems to be ECMAScript or similar

Maybe it looks similar, I'm not familiar with ECMAScript, but here a quote from wiki:

Anyway, I guess for those who want to switch to another engine (from Acknex) and don't really want to go deeper into C# and Java, it seems to be the easiest option. Plus there is multiplatforming etc.

as I know unity5 requires no more plugin installed (similarly to ue4)

yeah, I guess that's what Quad said earlier

, ty for the info. Excluding the multiplatform features, it looks at first glance like a downgrade on many things though compared to gs3d, maybe I'm wrong.

well without going deeper into details you can clearly see it's main advantage over the Acknex, it's not dead

Edit: btw, I think that this engine is a good example of rebranding, just compare their old product (outdated 'gamemaker') and the new one, in my opinion they've made big step into the right direction. It would be really nice to see conitec doing the same thing, new webpage, new features, well everything brand new... But that's not going to happen (at least for a couple of next years I guess).

That's a good point. And if they can do that, so can the mighty JCL. Eat your hearts out Unity and Epic .

You just need to allow your Java to be activated on this web address in your Java Security settings (Control Panel -> Java -> Security -> Edit sitelist). Works also in Chrome.






(But is A3 )

edit: too bad - just updated my Chrome and indeed it's not working anymore
Firefox still allows execution, though.

okay. I thought of A8 games in browser. there was a long thread about it, my trials also failed. but it does not really matter now, there are other engines offering it without any trouble.

@Firoball: by the way really nice game finally I could run it... wow, from 1998.
