Hello everybody
I need link C lib to FireBreath
Any idea?
|

not sure if someone is aware of that
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
hello!
is anyone available?
I need to know how to get the URL of the html page running the plugin
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
just grab document.location
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
how would i do that?
i need something like www.aa.com/myplugintest.html, or without the myplugintest.html
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
document.location.href would be the whole
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
but that is javascript right?
can i grab that from C++ ?
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
yes
you can
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
please point me the right functions to do so
|
| reichi |

i m implementing something like the unity player, but i only started using the fb 1 day ago :D

mmh no
http://www.firebreath.org/display/documentation/Interacting+with+Javascript
take this one ;)
but mmh
firebreath has it's own document object
that may even have a method for that
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
im still a little hanging using the api, i ve managed to run my games through it
only need download urls to prepare the assets
also, by the way, is there a predefined URL in the local disk to cache files?
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
no
but you can get the path the plugin resides in
or use standard techniques to get the home directory or something like that
you're totally free there
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
ok, I will just store cached data in Documents/ and home directories, depending on the OS
:D
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
e.g.
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
you are a part of firebreath dev team? : )
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
nope
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
I've found the tool to be amazing, its kind of cool that i was able to implement a web player for my engine with like 20 lines of code :)
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
i had to add "my own" platform so i was forced to get to know it a little
FB is totally awesome
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
your own? what do you mean? :D
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
though sometimes a little inconsistent in coding styles ;)
i'm building stuff for a set-top-box
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
its particularly fantastic that i just created the basic tutorial project
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
so i had to get rid of all dependencies to things like gtk
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
and from there i was able to compile my engine as usual imeddiately :D
i see :D
<param name="onload" value="pluginLoaded" />
using that to pass document.location
sounds reasonable to you?
or error prone?
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
no
why?
your plugin holds a document object
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
from PluginCore instances, where do i reference it?
documentation is a little fuzzy on that :D
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
i can't tell you that exactly by heart
but your plugin holds a DocumentPtr
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
doesnt seem to, by looking at docs
im browsing :D
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
you can also just use FB::DOM::Document::document()
hmm
sorry
the doc says you want to use FB::BrowserHost::getDOMDocument( )
|
| Grimshaw |
07:07 |
i was just about to open BrowserHost docs :D
thanks!
|
| reichi |
07:07 |
than call getJSObject() on that
and afterwards getProperty on the JSObject
but maybe there's a helper somewhere which will directly give you the current href ;)
taxilian could definitley tell you that right away ;)
ah
mhost>getDOMWindow()>getLocation()
so i've explained a lot
for noting ;)
|
| Grimshaw |
08:07 |
ahhahah
thanks :D
the BOSS! :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
m_host
should be the correct member
wihtin your *API.cpp
|
| Grimshaw |
08:07 |
yeah it is, its set as a member :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
(just don't pass the host around, it will create one hell of a mess if you do so ;))
|
| Grimshaw |
08:07 |
and it doesnt seem safe, i just ran a different thread and do my own world stuff in there
i just hook file data from downloads
and the window handle
:D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
i don't think's it's thread safe
if one doesn't know it's always good to assume it is not ;)
|
| Grimshaw |
08:07 |
also a good point
i assumed also that the pointer could change anytime
therefore no storing
:)
anyway, i think ive read SynchronousGet is thread safe
should be ok to use
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
you will notice if it#s not :p
|
| Grimshaw |
08:07 |
oh yeah, bang bang :D
lets see if i can make a little scripted game :D
its funny that i found firebreath
imediate increase of target audience with my engine ehhe
it was building on android windows linux mac..
now, browsers
which is a plus :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
what are you building?
|
| Grimshaw |
08:07 |
www.parabolaengine.com
undergoing development for a 2D engine for my own gamedev :)
mostly features a complete set of gamedev functionality, while deploying in all platforms seamlessly :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
uuh, that sounds nice :)
welcome back ;)
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
had to switch browser :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
:)
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
the engine is going pretty nice, i currently have a nice platformer
runs smoothly in android and the pc without problems
the only problem is that it wont run in the browser
because its native C++
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
i never did any game development
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
and i dont want to allow native code within my plugin
its a nice side of programming :D aiming google play store at the moment :D
iOS is a goal too :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
i totally refuse anything with an apple on it
except it's an eatable apple
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
im not a fan either, im more of an android guy
actually, a pc guy, but gotta follow the trends a little
businessly speaking
if that is even a english word
ahah :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
luckily my android app is a "just for fun" project
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
what is it ? :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.reichholf.dreamdroid&feature=nav_result
this one
well
i actually wrote this app before i started working for that company
(that does all the development for dreamboxes)
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
dreamboxes are what exactly? :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
set top boxes
sattelite and/or cable receivers
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
from the screenshots it looked a little like a tv box
oh, i was right
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
satellite even
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
there are apps like that for the isp i use
tv - net isp actually :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
:)
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
good job
something i see you probably figured
and that i need
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
i also did most parts of the backend
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
you did peer discovering right?
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
so it was quite straight forward to write a client for it (or another)
mmh
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
finding the online boxes ip in the wifi network?
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
what do you mean?
yeah
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
how did you handle it?
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
using 2 techniques
1. looking for known hostnames
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
i need to discover peers too in the lan
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
all models do have default hostnames
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
to host wifi direct multiplayer games
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
on factory settings
2. using avah/mdns
avahi
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
like a discovering service?
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
yes
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
i d say that is unix only
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
well
not exactly ;9
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
and i need a solution that works between android phones and windows mac linux too
could work?
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
you can use a lib for that
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
i use ENET for networking
its great but actually doesnt provide something like that
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
i gues with a little googling
you should find a lib that helps doing it
i would search for zeroconf or mdns
or service discovery maybe
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
thanks :)
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
it's a pretty common standard
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
i got this think working :)
plugin
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
there's even a chrome plugin
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
it now downloads the files i need
little question
i see your app has plenty of downloads
does it bring in any money?
or either has the potential too?
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
none at all
dunno
i never thought about it
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
wondering, with a ad solution
:D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
i don't have a business myself
but i would have to in germany
including all the annoying stuff according to taxes and stuff
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
yeah ://
but i think it could be worth some money
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
i don't think i would create enough value to motivate me for that
i though about ads
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
i see over 100.000 downloads
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
167k
to be more precise
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
services like AirPush
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
and almost 75k active installations
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
claim something around 5$ per 1000 displays
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
hmm
i gues sfor ads user have to spend a certain time within the app
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
AirPush is instant, in the notifications bar
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
and i think the app is something you open for like a minute
and oyu're done
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
but you have 167k of downloads, since the beggining?
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
yeah
i guess it was about 3 years ago or so
i initially expected it to download about 5k times
at most
i was obviously pretty wrong about that
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
heeh
hard to go up in the store
:)
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
but the code is a total mess :/
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
its a pretty crowded market
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
well
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
its a nice app, for free, its already great :D
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
there's almost no challengers for my specific use-case
the next best has like 10% of my installations
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
if it was something of broader use, it would already be on the tops
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
or even less
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
:)
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
well yes
considering you also have to have a dreambox
i think the numbers are amazingly big
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
exactly, its not the most common thing, at least globally
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
but well
i wanted to keep it a hobby project
and adding ads
somehow makes it not so hobby anymore
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
earning some bucks is ok
not everybody is wealthy
:)
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
people can spend via paypal
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
microtransactions etc
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
i thought about adding an in-app purchase
and recently found a nice lib for that
that really eases up the use
so people could spend something like 1,2,5,10 euro/usd
sorry
donate
i somehow mess up that word over and over again
in german it means "spenden"
|
| Grimshaw_ |
08:07 |
but spend is right
:D
its curious that the developer of fb worked for facebook
i wonder hows the workplace environment in there
:)
|
| reichi |
08:07 |
just ask taxilian_away ;)
he's the developer
|
| reichi |
09:07 |
i am off for now, cya
|
| Grimshaw_ |
09:07 |
ok brother
nice to meet you
:)))
|
| taxilian |
10:07 |
well, I've been pretty much laid out on my couch for 2 days, but I'm finally able to (carefully) sit in my desk chair without feeling like I'll faint. did I miss anything interesting?
|
| jshanab |
13:07 |
Welcome back. I was getting worried there.
|
| taxilian |
13:07 |
=]
it's good to be vertical again
|
| jshanab_ |
17:07 |
Speaking of something interesting. Anyone build the "Basic Media Player" example on Mac recently? I am using xcode 4.3.3. and selecting the 10.6 SDK but it crashes xcode during the build. I can build the test plugin. I am on the commit that starts with "96d2b3..."
"Target ZERO_CHECK has been asked for it's build context bit it does not belong to a project" is all I can see in the crash report that sounds like an error
|
| jshanab_ |
18:07 |
I cannot get BasicMediaPlayer to build. xcode just keeps crashing. I saw a potential workaround "cmake --build /path/to/build" but I could not figure out if that means the BasicMediaPlayer.build, the build directory or the src directory with the CMAkeList.txt file. I just keep getting "Could not load cache"
|
| jshanab_ |
19:07 |
taxillian. Hows it going?
|
| taxilian |
19:07 |
jshanab_ going alright
the cmake —build trick you specify the build dir that you gave to the prep script as the second argument
or build/ is the default
for examples buildex/
|
| jshanab_ |
19:07 |
I cannot get anything to work now, every build crashes xcode. Driving me nuts
|
| taxilian |
19:07 |
it's a really short trip
I have no idea :-(
|
| jshanab_ |
19:07 |
takes about 4 days
|
| taxilian |
19:07 |
try it from the command line
|
| jshanab_ |
19:07 |
It stays building a lot longer. Maybe once it gets a chunk done it will be ok.
It makes it through. Darn. My Xcode experiance was so nice up to now with the iOS app. :-(
|
| taxilian |
19:07 |
lol
yeah, xcode 3 did a lot better with c++
xcode 4 is fantastic for ios dev, probably all obj c dev, but for c++ it kinda stinks
|
| jshanab_ |
19:07 |
Reminds me of thee who xhould not be named and C# vs c++
|
| taxilian |
19:07 |
lol
|
| jshanab_ |
19:07 |
Can I add memory to a macbook-air? or are they sealed.
|
| taxilian |
19:07 |
hmm. not actually sure
sealed, I think, but not certain
I know the macbook pro retina is sealed
"No. That computer's RAM is soldered to the motherboard and not upgradable"
as I suspected
|
| jshanab_ |
19:07 |
This has 4Gig which should be enough
And it should just slow down and swap, not crash, right? Does Mac have an OAK ("Offending App Killer")
|
| taxilian |
19:07 |
option+command+escape
|
| jshanab_ |
19:07 |
Ya know. I look at top and it still has stuck iOS profiling sessions. I am gonna. **ack** reboot my mac BRB
|
| taxilian |
19:07 |
lol
|
| jshanab_ |
19:07 |
talk about strange. Restart mac and build my plugin. No problem other than the bugs. Try to build the BasicMediaPlayer. and xcode immediatly crashes even when I have 2G free of ram. Go back to my project. Immediate crash on build. I think I asked earlier, Has anyone recently built the BasicMediaPlayer on Mac ?? the most recent and with xcode 4.3.3?

|
| taxilian |
19:07 |
I haven't
|
| jshanab_ |
20:07 |
If someone has a moment to build that on mac and see if the problem is not just between my keyboard and chair, I'd really appreciate it
I also see backgroundinstruments is always running. If I kill it it just immediatly respawns with a new pid. Is that normal?
|
| taxilian |
20:07 |
I would if I could, but right now I'm too deep in some other things that I need to get done
and I haven't even started on the things I wanted to do today while I "ease back into real work"
|
| jshanab_ |
20:07 |
No problem. I know you have had a rough few days. I was hoping someone else could volunteer. I am gonna kick it an watch a movie then go to bed. Last night we had a storm move threw that was impressive. impressive enough to keep me up have the night. I am zonked. Hopefully it will look better in the morning.
|
| taxilian |
20:07 |
hehe. enjoy your movie, then, and I hope tomorrow brings happier compiling =]
I'm trying to coordinate the ham radio support for a city parade that is saturday
and sometime between now and Sunday morning at 11 I need to find time to prepare a 20 minute talk for church
|
| jshanab_ |
20:07 |
Cool. I forgot you were into Ham radio. I use to help my friend on some of the clubs events.
|
| taxilian |
20:07 |
heh. only someone who only knows me through FireBreath would ever forget something like that… :-P
my father in law is the contact for the local volunteer examiner team; we do more applicants than almost any other group in the country, and I wrote the software we use to give tests
and then there is hamstudy.org, the site I maintain in my "spare time"
|
| jshanab_ |
20:07 |
LOL. I have found the secret to becoming increasigly absent minded. work 7 days a week for the last few years and make every day at least 12hr behind the computer(s)
|
| taxilian |
20:07 |
hehe
yeah, that'll do it
I used to do that… I decided it wasn't worth it and I stopped
one of the best decisions of my life
|
| jshanab_ |
20:07 |
As they say in racing slow down to go faster. .. As soon as I get this working LOL
|
| taxilian |
20:07 |
hehe
