  5. Chat away.

Things you need for the Voice Chat Applet to work in a web browser:

  1. The standard Java browser plug-in (most web browsers have this built in)
  2. Microphone
  3. Speakers (or headset)
  4. Say yes to the permissions/trust dialog box (need access to the microphone)

If you want to use the Voice Chat Applet when your web page is not in the same directory as the jar file and PHP file:

  1. Install the jar and aSoundPHPuploadJava1.php file in the web page's directory, or
  2. Modify the ARCHIVE="VoiceChat6.jar"> line to take into account where the directory is
  3. For example if the web page is at http://multiplayer3d.com/mydirectory/index.php and the jar and PHP file are at http://multiplayer3d.com/ then change the ARCHIVE line to: 

    ARCHIVE="mydirectory/VoiceChat6.jar">

  4. Another example: if the web page is at http://multiplayer3d.com/shockwave/ and your webpage is at http:://multiplayer3d.com/voicechat/ 

    ARCHIVE="../shockwave/VoiceChat6.jar">

Note: I haven't actually tested the above example fixes yet, so let me know if they don't work yet.
