Error when running in HTML5

Hi!!
The game I'm working on runs and creates the windows executable without problems, but doing it for HTML5 gives me problems

The error I see from the debugger is:


"Unhandled Exception - Uncaught { message : "Error calling extension initialisation function: gml_Script_native_cursor_preinit exception: ReferenceError: native_cursor_preinit_raw is not defined", longMessage : "Error calling extension initialisation function: gml_Script_native_cursor_preinit exception: ReferenceError: native_cursor_preinit_raw is not defined", stacktrace : [ "function _W2("Error calling extension initialisation function: gml_Script_native_cursor_preinit exception: ReferenceError: native_cursor_preinit_raw is not defined")

","function _vC2([unknown])

","function _Ao3(5870.92)

" ], script : "", line : -1 } in file http://127.0.0.1:51264/html5game/Alchemy%20and%20Pomodoro.js?cachebust=213720157... at line 54375"

This repeats itself numerous times per second until the explorer's memory collapses.

I use Opera GX for testing

GML version v2023.11.1.129

If you need HTML5 support, you can use the first version of this extension (window_set_cursor (for GMS2.3).yymps) - V2 doesn’t have a JS version yet.

Hello, I hope you can personify my disability with these things, but now I am getting this error when starting a play test:

Error : Extension window_set_cursor file does not exist

I deleted the previous extension and then installed the version that you recommended, in the extensions folder of the project the extension appears and in the engine as well

Un saludo!!

Alright, I uploaded a demo project (window_set_cursor_demo (for GM2024).zip). Seems to work fine on my end on both Windows and HTML5..?

hello

I have tried starting the game in window_set_cursor_demo (for GM2024).zip, but it doesn't seem to work well

In the downloaded project, when starting in Windows, an error code appears:

"(2,16): GMSC Error: Unexpected JSON property '$GMProject'.

and when starting in HTML5 it seems to start but nothing appears other than a blank screen in the explorer

On the other hand, I have imported the extension to my project and it seems to go a little further. In my project, when starting in windows, I get the same error as with the downloaded project, but when starting in HTML5, the game loads fine and you even see the cursor moving, although clicking and changing the cursor sprite causes it to freeze the game

Thanks for the assistance

Un saludo!!

The example is for GM2024, hence the name.

I would suggest to test there as GM2023.11 had a tendency to corrupt extensions

hello

in that case, the downloaded demo project works perfectly on windows and html5

But the error persists in my project, it is possible that I have not exported/imported the extension correctly

Un saludo!!

If you are working with 2023.11 IDE, chances are that it has removed the file names from the extension upon import, as per linked bug report. You can check this by double-clicking the extension in the resource tree.

You could fix this manually by comparing the file contents to the ones in the demo project and assigning the correct name to each file in the extension.

Or, if you have moved to GM2024 IDE, you can remove the extension and use Add Existing (or Tools ➜ Create Local Package) to copy the extension from the demo project to yours.
