[SOLVED] Applet reload

[Mickelukas]

When having an applet open and hitting the reload button I usually get the following error:
Fatal error occured (5): C:\DOCUME~1\CWNL-M~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\localhost\Dreamlandz\jinput.jar.pack.lzma (The system cannot find the file specified)

are you using jinput? that is Controllers in lwjgl, if not then it should be safe to remove the jinput.jar.pack.lzma from your html and applet.

[Mickelukas]

That worked, now I am missing this file instead though

Fatal error occured (5): C:\DOCUME~1\CWNL-M~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\localhost\Dreamlandz\lwjgl_util.jar.pack.lzma (The system cannot find the file specified)

When reloading I also sometimes get this error:
org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Parent.isDisplayable() must be true
   at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.createWindow(Display.java:303)
   at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Display.java:839)

hmm, can you post a copy of you html file plz?

[Mickelukas]

Uhm... nope

I'm using the deployJava.js file supplied by Java. I'll try to reproduce it using a .html file.

[Mickelukas]

I had no problems with reproducing it with the appletloader.html that comes from the sourceforge download page.

When reloading the standard gears demo I also sometimes get:
Exception in thread "Thread-73" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native Library C:\Documents and Settings\cwnl-mlundstr\Local Settings\Temp\appletloadertest\natives\lwjgl.dll already loaded in another classloader

thats a different problem and is actually a java issue, this is due to the jvm only being able to load the same natives only once in the same jvm, this has been fixed by java plugin2 as you can simply run each applet in a separate process. You should definitely use this with lwjgl applets as it'll make them alot more stable.

to start each applet in another process, simply add this parameter inside your applet tag

<param name="separate_jvm" value="true">

[Mickelukas]

Cool, thanks!

One issue down one to go

[kappa]

btw do you still get the first issue when using the seperate_jvm tag?

[Mickelukas]

Nope, it's gone with the wind

You're my personal hero, no idea about my last issue with the mouse leaving the applet?

[kappa]

we'll needs the more l33t lwjgl developers too look at the mouse leaving Display issue as its not just an applet issue, i'll see if i can prod either mazon or elias on irc.

[Mickelukas]

Thanks alot
