Hi I've made some dlls and php-scripts to connect to my database. Actually a friend made them for me. He used GM8.1 to test it, and he used external_define do load the dlls.
I tried it and it worked, then I imported the scripts to my project (using GM:HTML5) and added the dlls in the folder of the game. But when I start the game I get an "error defining external function".

Is it something I've done wrong or is it not possible to use DLLs in HTML5 even in windows mode?
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: If i create an application (.exe) and put the DLLs in that folder it works.

You can not use DLL's in a web browser environment. JavaScript only, otherwise it would be a MASSIVE security hole!!

Would you download and run native code from any old website?

But I'm not using it in a web browser environment, I'm basically using GM:HTML5 as if it was GM 8.1.

Ah.... my apologies. Your in the HTML5 section, not the GM8.1 section, but I understand why you posted here. Sounds like a bug. Go and file a new bug, and attach your code as an example - feel free to mark it as private.

I fixed it by saving it in a new project, re-imported the scripts and overwriting the DLLs and restarting GM:HTML5.
Working just fine now.

Thanks for the help though!
