Forums » Impact Engine » need help :O

so, u can move this topic to somewhere else/ i didn't know where to write.
i just bought a license. hooray!
and realized few things:
it doesn't work with ff 4 . wtf ><
i'm trying to run the engine and it doesn't work.
it's saying:
Security error" code:
var origPixels = origCtx.getImageData(0, 0, this.width, this.height);
in image.js
and
Security error" code:
var px = ctx.getImageData(0, 0,image.width, 1);
in font.js
i think it's kinda bug or something. or idk maybe i did something wrong. how cud i fix it? 'cause i just downloaded the clean engine and it doesn't work
but everything is ok on Safari. also wanted to say that i'm using Mac OS atm.

First of all welcome to Impact SpaceHorse. I think you'll have a blast working with the Impact game engine. I actually haven't tried running Weltmeister on Firefox 4, so I'd have to upgrade it on my development computer before giving you and answer.

One other point, hope you don't take this the wrong way, it's really difficult to read what you've written. There are a lot of people here who are willing to help you out, but please make it easier for all of us by writing clear sentences with capitalization and such. It's not as though we're snobs or anything, but many of us are working on 2 or more different things, multiple languages, multiple types of computer code, and can help you better and faster if you take the time to make things more readable.

Otherwise, happy game creating!

LOL, ok i will try to like write on simple English. i don't know. it's all about the real language and simple english. sorry.
About Weltmeister. i guess it should work but i told about the Impact engine and it throws some errors at the moment on Firefox 4. That's weird.

Sure, no problem. I've got Firefox 4 on my Windows 7 machine. I'm able to run games like Biolab and other games from the forum without any problem. Are you able to run the games directly from the website, like Biolab, without any problems? Or is the problem only when using the local web server on your Mac?

>Are you able to run the games directly from the website, like Biolab, without any problems?
yes. definitely. and this is the reason why i bought the engine)
this is weird that it doesn't work on my local machine. and as i said it works normal on Safari but not on Firefox 4. Hm.

i'm using an older impact (1.16) and it works good on all browsers

Heya, welcome to the forums :)

It sound&039;s like you're loading the game/editor directly from your HDD, instead of through a webserver?! Your browser's address bar should read something like <2> and *not* #file://home/impact/. Most browsers have problems with the "same origin policy", because there&039;s no domain part in a #file:// URL.

You need to set up a webserver on your computer; MacOS already has the Apache webserver installed - you just need to enable it. Have a look at the Getting Started guide, it explains this all in more detail.

Yea yea. Thank you. Few seconds ago i realized the same thing. It's actually 'cause of that. I run it now under php and it works!

i think it 'd be better to move this topic to Help section of the forum. Sorry, i kinda new here so i didn't know where to white.

no probs, we're all here to learn. I'm learning a ton each day!
