Comments
Use the form to add a comment.
There are three available settings:
1. the default browser is opened
2. it is embedded
3. a splash screen is opened (GM8 only)
Setting 1 is the default, the others require GM Pro. Setting 2 can give a pretty good in-game appearance, an example of this setting is included in the package.

Hello, just wondering if this is still being updated, and whether anyone still looks at these comments!
Also, will this system trigger the default browser to open some webpage in order for the online highscores to work? I hope not, because that would be annoying.
In addition, if the answer to the above question is that the browser is not triggered, will the online highscores also be able to be viewed IN-GAME rather than going to the website you are hosting this at?

Please make sure that your server actually supports PHP.

Oh.. I forgot to upload the server files to a website.. So I just uploaded them, but the
installation instructions doesn't show up. What am I doing wrong?
Michael, it looks like you're using the action library with embedding but the scripts without embedding. Either replace the action library or the imported scripts with the correct one.
To the others, please open the file Help.chm and read the page 'Getting Started'.

Hey Blijbol, you are a genius. This works great.
Did you change your database password after installing OnScore? If so, you should update the contents of config.php.

Doesn't work. Got pretty much the same error as the guy before me
When installing the package on my site I got:
Error
PHP warning at line 157 of common.php
