How to Export to HTML Properly?

Question

Every time i try to export to HTML5 it just sits there with a small window saying "downloading data" and never does anything past that, is that normal or is there something im missing here?

If you are running linux then one option is to install a lightweight http server.

1. Open terminal
2. sudo apt install python-twisted-core
3. Change directory to where you exported the html files
4. twistd -n web -p 8000 --path .

Your html export game will now be available on localhost port 8000

Answer 1

On 2.0 stable, the HTML5 export has been substantially improved, but it can still be considered in a "beta" state.

Those browsers are known to be supported, in their recent versions:

• Chrome
• Edge
• Firefox

There is an important caveat with Chrome though: unless you run it with --disable-web-security command line option, it will refuse to load the HTML5 project on a file:// protocol because of security policies. The workaround is to host it on a Web server (which can be entirely static, so you can use literally any Web server) that you host on your own PC then access with http://localhost/ or on a remote Web server.

This may apply to Edge as well, but I haven't tested.

In any case, you should open the developer console (press F12) and look at potential JavaScript errors there.

on localy computer , it doesnt work for me ( on windows 7 , without any web server running ), but on my raspberry PI 2 web server, all work fine, just problem with file:// protocol
