Putting my Slick game into a website

[examorph]

I have made a GUI in Java using State Based Game, as it extends StateBasedGame and not JApplet its not a true applet, I want to put it on a website and am unsure on how to do this, I have been told that the following code allows me to make this into an applet using html and not having to edit the Java code:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17

<applet code="org.lwjgl.util.applet.AppletLoader"         archive="org.lwjgl.util.applet.AppletLoader"         codebase="."         width="640" height="480">   <param name="al_title" value="Ham Blaster">   <param name="al_main" value="org.newdawn.slick.AppletGameContainer">   <param name="game" value="org.javagame.Game">   <param name="al_jars" value="racegame.jar, lwjgl.jar, slick.jar">   <param name="al_windows" value="windows_natives.jar">   <param name="al_linux" value="linux_natives.jar">   <param name="al_mac" value="macosx_natives.jar">   <param name="separate_jvm" value="true"> </applet>

I found the code on a forum and modified it to work with my game, the link to the forum is http://ninjacave.com/slickapplet

I run that on html and get the following error message: org.lwjgl.util.applet.AppletLoader even though there is a AppletLoader class in my lwjgl.
If you can help me fix the above code then please tell me but if not possible please give me another method of putting my GUI onto a website.

Also, It may be worth mentioning, when I made my Java GUI, I had imported lwjgl and slick into eclipse, so I am assuming they are also in my racegame.jar file.

even though its in your eclipse, it might not being exported into your final jar, depending upon other factors.
You can verify this, by opening up your compiled jar, with some sort of compression tool, such as 7zip or winrar and manually looking at the contents of your jar. If you post the jar or a link to where you are hosting it, I or someone else can also help examine the compiled jar.


What are all the contents of the folder on your web server?? All files/folders/contents?

is there your racegame.jar, lwjgl.jar and slick.jar all 3 of them?

In addition to the lwjgl natives for each OS

I have looked inside my jar file (racegame.jar) with winrar and found that there are 3 different folders, one is my game package (javagame) which holds all of my class files, the second one is the META-INF which holds a file called MANIFEST.MF and my third folder is called org and this holds both lwjgl and newdawn (which holds slick) folders.
The contents within the game I made in eclipse are slick and lwjgl which I imported into eclipse, many images which I used for my game and the code. Natives were also loaded into eclipse but the only one I imported into the Java Library was the windows native.

If the information above is not enough please tell me and I will give you the racecar.jar file.

Thank you.

EDIT: It may also be worth mentioning that I am just running my html code from my desktop and not from a website at the moment.

I have found the solution and may have been too obvious for many users on this forum to answer but it was not having my html file with my ljgl_util_appler.jar, I now put them together in the same directory but get another error on the centre of my screen:
An error occurred while loading the applet. Please contact support to resolve this issue. missing reqired applet parameter: al_main.

I have looked inside slick for the ApplerGameContainer but I can only find chrome files, I tried putting these in the same directory as the html file but I still get the same error.

If you have any information that may help to me, even if it may be a very obvious thing to do, then please tell me as I am new to Java and will probably have missed something very simple.

Did you signed all your jars? You can find tutorial there: http://www.lwjgl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Signing_Jar_Files

[examorph]

I am using eclipse so I have made 3 folders, lib and under lib I have made jars and natives, inside my natives I have put 4 natives (windows, linux, solaris, macosx), in my jars the only two are slick.jar and lwjgl.jar. In my java library under my Java build path I have only imported the two jars (lwjgl and slick) and windows only not the other 3 OS, do I need to import all of my jars from lwjgl_jar into eclipse and my java build path, files such as  AppletJavaExtensions.jar, Izma.jar,lwjgl_test.jar,etc...? also do I have to import all of the natives into eclipse or will it work with just windows?

Thank you.

I don't understand what you mean, could you write more simply?

Code that you shown in first post loads all files directly from folder where applet loader is loaded. Try put all files in the same folder, everything should work.

Sorry for the confusing previous post, I have fixed the error that was occurring previously, it was a missing quotation at the al_title param but now have a new error:
 Permissions for Applet Refused. Please accept the permissions dialogue to allow the applet to continue the loading process.

This was after pressing the "run this time" option.

Make sure that ALL (not only game) jars are signed by jarsigner and every file is located in right place.

[examorph]

I have tried to follow this tutorial for signing my jars: http://wiki.plexinfo.net/index.php?title=How_to_sign_JAR_files

and got to the last step and typed: jarsigner -keystore myKeystore racegame.jar myself
to sign my racegame.jar but it said:
jarsigner: unable to open jar file: racegame.jar
It is doing this for every jar file I try with in my lwjgl folder.

Why is it not opening the jar file and signing it? all the other steps were followed and tested exactly like they where shown in the guide.

Thank you.

Try this:

1	cd <directory of your jarsigner>

1	jarsigner "<directory of jar>" <sign name>

Please note the quotes.

Thank you for helping me, the problem is fixed

But...a new error has now occurred

I can load up the html code now and now it has gotten further than it has ever gotten, it asks for my permission to load java, I accept and run it, I see the lwjgl loading bar, then another error pops up this time saying: An error occured while loading the applet. Please contact support to resolve this issue. This occured while 'Downloading packages'.

What would cause this error?

Please note the quotes.

Haha, it amazes me how such a small mistake can cause the full program running, I make sure to check everything over 5 times before I try run it now

Don't worry... you aren't the only one to have a headache running java as an applet
