Descriptive Problem Summary:
Pager logs me in correctly (Dream Daemon recognizes I have logged in), yet it's completely blank and my browser opens up an odd link.

I simply start up pager. This happens every time I try on that computer, haven't been able to test anywhere else yet, but someone on the release forum has the same problems.

I have another followup question: In older versions, do you have issues like this when joining games that use the browser control (e.g., Space Station 13, or the map function in Runt)?
|
Never had any issues with browser, I use it in my own projects constantly. However, I tried testing in Runt, and the BYOND popup informed me it started downloading, but that was five minutes ago and so far I see no game anywhere. Might be some other thing though, I can download and join SS13, and everything seems fine. |
Sounds like the download with Runt had a problem. I'd try that again because I don't think that's related to the issue, but I do want to know if Runt has problems with the Map command because that uses a browser control.
Can you take a look in your user data directory and tell me what the permissions are for pager, pager/custom, and pager/custom/pagerhome.html? Maybe there's a problem reading that particular file. |
Welp, Runt keeps bugging.
However, I can assure you I've done plenty of tinkering with the BYOND built in browser which always worked. =/ I don't have a pagerhome.html in the folder you have specified, only a colors.txt file, but I have all read/write permissions. The folders you have mentioned had "read only" checked, and even though I'm logged in as admin I disabled it. Still nada. |
Oooh, the read-only is a huge clue. Perhaps those folders weren't being properly marked for writing. It sounds like it simply couldn't create the file or the right folders. (Do you have a pager\custom folder, or just pager?)
Changing your entire user data dir so read-only is turned off should eliminate the problem the next time you run the pager, if I'm correct. |
Is it read-only with a check, or with a square? The square is normal and does not affect anything.
|
Well if the square is partially filled it could indicate some of the files/dirs are read-only and some not.
|
We found a problem in version 499.1175 that would explain why this happened if you haven't used a previous version of the new pager. Please try build 499.1176 and let us know if that fixes the issue.
|
Yup, it was indeed my first build, this fixed it. Thanks.
As for the square, was a square. |
Can you tell me which Explorer version is installed on your computer?
