Building Unity Web Player/Standalone

[joseph]

After a build, if the simple chat is not visable what could most likely be the problem?

This is strange because before I built the game as a Web player or as a Standalone it was perfectly visable and functioning properly.

Any tips, tricks and/or techniques is appreciated by many.

For standalone, you have to comment out the PreFetch line, or else use the type of IF statement that I used in AvatarChat.

#if UNITY_WEBPLAYER
    // Only set this for the webplayer, it breaks pc standalone
    // See http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/25122/ for details
    Security.PrefetchSocketPolicy(serverURL, serverPort);
#endif

You might also need to check that your ES5 is still running.

I can't read what it is displayed because the console window goes away too quickly. I think it is something along the lines of "Exeception in thread" ...

[tcarr]

Is "exception in thread" showing in the ES5 console window or in Unity? And are you running from inside the Unity editor or from a build? (and Windows or Mac for that matter) Exception in thread means that there's an error in the code somewhere. We just need to pinpoint where.

[joseph]

the "exception in thread" is showing in the ES5 console window when I choose to run either the Standalone or the SafeMode ES5 Application. There is before I run the Unity Editor.

If you can connect to the ES5 using ES Admin, you can look at ElectroServer5.log using that. If not, look in the server's installation folder, in server/logs/ElectroServer5.log. Either copy that file before you open it, or shut ES5 down before you open it. Go to near the bottom of the file where you see the exception. Post the entire exception here, including the "caused by" part. I should be able to tell what the problem is from that.

[joseph]

I don't know if I can connect. I try to run the safemode or the standalone version of the ES5 application as the administrator, and it goes away after two or three seconds. I can't see the application running in processes or even under applications.

The server will now exit.

I am unsure if the above is what you were asking for.

[tcarr]

Yes this is what I asked for. ES5 thinks that another ES5 process is still running - it can't access the database. If you are on Windows, open Task Manager and look at the processes tab, for the Java processes. Check for any that have a command line that includes "electroserver". Or if you aren't running other Java processes you can just kill all of the Java processes. If you don't want to fool with Task Manager, you can restart Windows.

When you run ES5 and do not use safemode, the console is supposed to disappear, so it's very easy to forget that you have it running. Then you try to start it up again and get exactly the error message that you are seeing.

[joseph]

OK, I killed the Java process under the windows task manager, ran the ES5 again and noticed that it runs in the background -- which is fine. However, I still experience the same problem, I can't see the simple chat window when running the my project as a web player..

[tcarr]

Check that the code example AS3 Simple Chat works. Also check the log and verify that it says "started successfully". If AS3 Simple Chat works and your web player doesn't, then you forgot to include the PreFetchline. Web player needs to prefetch.
