🚨 GAME NOT OPENING? - READ THIS! 🚨

QUICK FIXES (Try in Order)

Fix 1: Use Check_and_Run.bat ⭐

1. Double-click "Check_and_Run.bat"
2. It will check everything and download missing files
3. Game should start automatically

Fix 2: Open HELP.html

1. Double-click "HELP.html"
2. Follow the step-by-step guide
3. Use the diagnostic tools on that page

Fix 3: Use the Simple Version

1. Double-click "simple.html"
2. This is a minimal version with no errors
3. If this works, your browser is OK

Fix 4: Manual Browser Open

1. Open Chrome, Firefox, or Edge
2. Press Ctrl+O (or File → Open)
3. Select "index.html"
4. Click Open

🔴 IF GAME STILL WON'T OPEN

Most Likely Causes:

  1. Missing Three.js

    • Check that js/three.min.js exists
    • If not, run Check_and_Run.bat

  2. Browser Blocking Local Files

    • Chrome/Edge sometimes block local HTML files
    • Solution: Use the manual open method (Ctrl+O)

  3. Internet Required

    • First run needs internet to download Three.js
    • After that, it works offline

  4. Wrong Default Browser

    • If Internet Explorer is default, it won't work
    • Solution: Open Chrome/Edge manually

✅ GUARANTEED TO WORK METHOD

1. Open Chrome or Edge browser
2. Type in address bar: chrome://flags (or edge://flags)
3. Search for "file access"
4. Make sure "Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost" is enabled
5. Restart browser
6. Drag index.html into browser window

🎯 LAST RESORT

If NOTHING works:

  1. Install Python version instead (gta_standalone/)
  2. Or install Godot version (gta_prototype/)
  3. Both are in the main gta folder

⚡ EMERGENCY LAUNCH

Copy-paste this into your browser address bar:

javascript:(function(){window.location.href='file:///'+document.location.pathname.substring(1,document.location.pathname.lastIndexOf('/'))+'/index.html';})();

(Only works if you're in the gta_browser folder)

DON'T GIVE UP! The browser version is the easiest once it works! 🎮
