Possibly a presmissions setting. Browsers are happier to lower their security settings for local content.

The menu also doesnt work with FireFox for me. When I first visited the offical site, around 2003 everything worked on IE. But in 2004 it got corrupted and I coulden't see the menu even while using IE.

Does this mean your not interested in me completing the CSS-based menu?

Up to renardin to decide, I'm only doing the stuff he asked me to do. I'm going to send him everything and then he'll do whatever he needs to do with it. I think it would be very useful if you took a look at it, but the contact ways you gave me don't permit me to get in contact with you, knowing I only have IRC of that list and I won't idle in a channel for hours knowing that we live in very different timezones. PM your mail or MSN and I'll let you have a look. (can't do it now, am at work)

My work in progress:

If anyone knows the font they use, i'd appreciate it. It's not as flashy as the Flash one (duh), but it will be accessible by all browsers. (Right now the spacing in IE is out, this shot is from opera with firefox looking the same.

Edit. Ok, here is a second WIP that gives a better idea. The background image is just a .jpg now (1 pixel wide, 14 high), but I am wondering if someone wants to make a GIF version, and I can see if i can get it to work, so it looks 'live'.

(The first frame will have to be the brightest one, else people with gif animation disabled with have issues)

I tried animated GIF, it is impossible. GIF doesn't support half transparancy, making the effect that is used by the flash impossible.

That true, but I can use CSS to set it as the background image, thus creating the illusion. It won't look exactly the same, but this is CSS, not Flash.

The fix for the menu problem is very simple. It appears that Firefox/Opera don't like to retrieve files ending in %20 from a remote web server, while IE just chops off the %20's. I give you my fix for it.

http://crunge.org/lee/ren/nav_ext.swf

I simply hex edited the file to replace the %20's with -'s. So all you have to do is rename the navinit.txt file to:

navinit.txt-----------------------------------

And use my hexed nav_ext.swf.(link above duh) Then it should work perfectly as now Firefox/Opera don't get a 404 when requesting the file.

There may be an even better way to get it to work, but this is a quick and dirty fix.

Also if you would like my assistance for any other issues or problems regarding any web development problems feel free to join irc.crunge.org #crunge as I am always there. I also idle around on n00bstories irc so you may find me there too.

Enjoy! Smile

Well since the flash is working I guess my menu thing isn't needed.

I would like you guys to include and alternate way to navigate the site for those without Flash. Putting something as important as navigation in flash isn't recommended without some sort of fallback option.

I agree with light. There should be something that replaces the flash menu in case the browser does not have the Flash Player installed. Possibly his CSS menu could replace it in this case.

We're not talking about the CNFN Retirement Benifit Information Web site here.. it's a game site where 99.9% of all users are between the ages of 12-30 and have spent the last 15 years on the Internet....

They have Flash.. I promise.

Recoding is done now. I sent it to renardin who will send it to Crimson I suppose. After some first testing, I'll modify where needed.

Pft, yeah right. I know Renegade players who can't take screenshots, how are they supposed to install Flash? It doesn't come as standard, and a few won't even know what it is, let alone where to get it and how to install it.

You could deliberately exclude them for not having Flash, but thats not really fair is it? (Then there are the 56kers, there are plenty still out there, and those who disable Flash by default, like myself)

if you disable flash intentionally, then you are the one at fault, not the developer.. You know what it is, you know what you're missing, and you chose that path.

If you publish the swf and the html file, then copy the basic code from that html file in to your own document, the embed tag ingeniously points you to the cab file on the macromedia server.. so if, as you say, they are dumb enough to not know what flash is, the web page itself will direct them to macromedia's site to install it..

it's not rocket science.

The swf is 47 KB, no problem for 56k'ers i think. If Flash doesn't work, it will give you a link to where you can download the free player.

Anyway, the choice is up to Crimson I guess as I made a config file where you can easely setup many thing, one being the coice to use Flash or not.

I will start to rebuild the whole website from your files and believe me, I will use flash only for the menu.

47kb isn't a big deal as said. I don't care is somebody is cheap enough to not download 47kb...

And who the f*ck(sorry) is still using a 56k modem nowadays?
