How does OSA Kit work?
|
Well, OSA Kit is an ActiveX control which helps
you pass to it your game URL
and forget all about it. OSA Kit will do all the dirty work for you. The
ActiveX control will run the game inside the users browser just as if it were
originally developed using Java or Flash!
|
|
ActiveX?! Then how come it will work with non IE browsers e.g. Firefox, Opera...etc?
|
Here comes the OSA Kit Pro Player which installs a plugin for non IE browsers and host the ActiveX inside it so OSA Kit works normally! |
|
What steps are involved to make
it work?
|
1- Make your game as single file, EXE has the game media packed inside it (OSA Kit comes with a free tool to do that for you).
|
2- Upload the packed file a long with the License file to your server.
|
3- Copy and paste the HTML code required for OSA Kit
to run the game.
|
|
Am I obligated to Pack all media into the
EXE?
|
Actually, No. You can make the OSA
Kit download the EXE alone without any media attached and then
download your media with your own code. You can if you desire
define the path as a URL in your code instead of a local path but bear
keep in mind that if the user has a firewall he will be notified
that your game wants to access the internet. This may cause alarm so
it's not a way I recommend, best bet is to pack all your media
into the game EXE.
|
|
What are the system requirements for OSA
Kit?
|
1- OSA Kit,
a small file hosted at your server (only 39KB! it is very lightweight!)
|
2- Internet Explorer or compatible browser (Firefox, Opera, Mozilla...
are now supported through installing OSAKit Pro Player 165Kb).
|
3- VB runtime Libraries on the users machine (almost 1MB)
|
|
What about the VB runtime libraries?
|
First of all, remember that :
|
1-
VB runtimes are already preinstalled on anything newer than Windows
98 first edition.
|
2-
In most cases VB runtimes will be already installed on the user
machine . A large amount of VB software is already being used, so chances are
very high that the user already
have it!
|
3-
More than 50% of internet users are on broadband and others are on
high speed connections (dialup users are a dwindling band!)
So it's not going to make much difference for the user to download 1 meg, even this is still easy even for a 56ker!
|
|
Can it work on a complex html webpage or does
it have to be a blank one?
|
Sure, all you have to do is to
insert the required code for running the ActiveX anywhere you like
in your page.
|
|
How much any future updates will cost me?
|
Nothing. All future updates are free for lifetime!
|
|
Is there any return policy in case it is
incompatible with my game?
|
You should try the demo of OSA Kit and see if your game/app is working or not even though OSA Kit comes with 30 days unconditional money back guarantee in case you are not satisfied for any reason.
|
|
Is there any renewal or hidden fee?
|
No. You will get a license that will work forever. |
