Thread: Needed: BETA Testers for Google Earth Plugin

sorry guys, my house if falling apart so I've been working on it a bit so been a bit out of it for a few days.

@Sonic: I've said I've never seen that error message before, did you make your cache files read-only or something ? cause that's the only way I know GE won't run offline, I mean, if the cache is not available/damaged or read-only. I'm not sure of the other questions you made, Current install procedure should be:

-Make sure GE works fine OUTSIDE RR
-Leave it with the left side panel OPEN and make sure the window is NOT maximized, then close it.
-Download the RREarth.zip file and unzip anywhere you want
-Download the new RREarth DLL file over the one you unziped
-Regsvr32 the DLL
-Make sure you have the RREarth.skin file and use the GE_START button to load it.

That should be all.

1) The OSK is also a MENU, so it unloads your menu THEN loads the OSK, you should predict that the popup will NOT be the current screen after using the OSK and use the OSKTOCMD command to re-load the menu if desired.

2) If you make sub-screens for GE (including menus), you should use the GE_EMBED command to make sure that when LEAVING the popup/screen GE is embedded onto the screen. I had planned to make this more automatic, but I can only handle the RREArth.skin file, so you might just as well do it yourself -- All it takes is changing any EXIT commands to EXIT||GE_EMBED and so on.

From Skin commands.txt:

Code:

"OSKTOCMD"	- This allows you to read contents of a variable much like OSKTOVAR, but also allows you to execute a command once the user
		  presses "enter" on the OSK (idealistically so can use the data entered).
		  	Example: "OSKTOCMD;MYVAR;RUNQ;$MYVAR$" (will try to execute whatever was entered in the OSK)

The only limitation is that if you want more than one command to execute you'll HAVE to place it in exectbl, since || will split the commands before OSKTOCMD is executed:

Button: "OSKTOCMD;TEST;TESTCMD"
ExecTBL: "TESTCMD","RUNQ;$TEST$||SETLABEL;MYLABEL;Execu ting $TEST$"

Try RUNQW instead. Chances are both Goops and the plugin are trying to do stuff to GE at the same time.
