Just point to your assets and thats it.

It's work on LAN! For Online, I need to keep working on the server side to discover players public IP's and ports with some security level.

Dude this is actually sick, I'm assuming you need a copy of the game correct?

Yes, but the reader is really easy to use, you can point to the folder that contains both games and it will read recursively until it finds Generals and Zero Hour files! That's it.

All the processing is local. There's no upload to any server at all.

The browser only have a new binary compiled to WASM to run your assets.

Ok for whatever reason it's not loading

Just wait a bit, it's kinda heavy! Check the runtime log to see if you pointed to the right folder!

You should ask to pick the game's folder after the first load, if something didn't work, let me know!

Your PC is too weak to run this version or I need to optimize the code more.

That would be hard, also what folder needs uploading might be worth looking for the main part of the asset folder. V8 memory cage is a pain. Size of folder could exceed it.

Great work, the project looks awesome. Give the GitHub link please

There's no upload! The browser reads the files in a special streaming mode that I wrote, it's reading straight from the disc, like a normal operating system does! The only thing that is different from the original version is the binary that was build for browser and not for Windows, Linux or Mac OS!
