load stuck on Nan% (USE FIREFOX TO FIX)

[craftersshaft]

I'm using windows 10 with Microsoft edge, and when I open the index file, it gets stuck on Nan%. Do I use a different browser, or is there something else I need to do? I read the wiki.

EDIT: I got it working with firefox. Oh, that sweet sweet sound of U̶n̶d̶e̶r̶t̶a̶l̶e̶ ̶-̶ ̶S̶a̶n̶s̶ Muscles.mp3 ....

I have the same bug appearing even if I run the program on Firefox, any solution to the nan% bug?

The reason for the NaN% bug when trying to open index.html locally is due to modern browser security, which prevents access to the local file system. This bug was probably not present during the development of the Openbound engine ~10 years ago.

There are essentially three ways around it:

1. Run a localhost server. This can, for example, be done by using the "Live Server" extension in Visual Studio Code.
2. Host the files somewhere online. Host examples could be Miroware Pipe (created by the owner of MSPFA) or, theoretically, GitHub/GitHub pages. This will be much slower in development, though.
3. Bypass browser security. (not recommended)
