BL-BrowserUsing the Awesomium web-ui library, I managed to make a hook DLL which replaces in-game textures to a browser interface.
The objective of this is to open up new possibilities of servers, such as Cinema servers similar to that of Gmod.
But the uses don't stop there, with this you can create many things such as a Server Homepage that opens up when a client joins, in-game stores, even a better GUI system using HTML.
Example / Proof of Concept
VideoExcuse the red and blue values being swapped, I forgot to change the texture type after switching functions.
Changelog2016-12-20-1: Creation of topic
2016-12-24-1: Fixed issue of crashing at start-up, upped the resolution to 1024x768, fixed issues with mip-maps.
2017-01-07-1: Released v0.1.1 - ready for general use
Github / ReleaseThe code is currently in an experimental phase, and will likely be completely different from the release versions.
Installationyou have to overwrite your blockland.exe with the one provided in the .7z in order for it to work.
Conan Buchanan: step 1) download the AllInOne.7z from https://github.com/Pah1023/BL-Browser/releases/tag/v0.2.1
Conan Buchanan: step 2) open the zip using 7zip or an equivalent compressed folder opener, and copy all the stuff out
Conan Buchanan: step 3) overwrite your main bl install with it
Conan Buchanan: step 4) set the .exe to read only
Conan Buchanan: step 5) open bl, turn on download textures
Conan Buchanan: step 6) join server, when you join the cinema or hear things playing do aws_bindtexture(); in console. if you're on my server, /joincinema after doing this to see the video.
Conan Buchanan: step 6.5) if and only if aws_bindtexture(); does not work, do attachmodule("AWSHook.dll"); and try again.
Conan Buchanan: step 6.75) if neither of those functions work, but attachmodule is erroring (not function not found), install the x86 version of the dll on this page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
