ZEZO use in VIRTUAL REGATTA

Post by Freodoctor | 2022-01-22 | 10:21:21

Has VR blocked the use of ZEZO? I have tried the work arounds which worked only once.
Can ZEZO (Omar) advise how we can continue to use ZEZO please? Without having to change browsers? Thanks Ray

The use of the Zezo router which was written by Cvetan Ivanov is not blocked, and cannot be blocked by VR. Cvetan is also the author and owner of this web site.

You are probably referring to VR Dashboard, which is was written by me, Cvetan and several others, and is owned and maintained by me.

Dashboard is having issues attaching the debugger to the VR web page, possibly caused by a bug in Chrome. Please refer to this thread for workarounds.

I am reffering to Zezo not the dash board. THE red Z as down loaded no longer works with VR. What should I do when using Google.

The red Z _is_ the dashboard. See below.

A problem with the latest Chrome version, more likely. Maybe combined with the latest VR page version.

I found a post on google groups about debugger colliding with chrome apps
(https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions/c/MbyvUGa-_Nw)

So went to chrome://apps/ and removed the installed drive, gmail and youtube apps. Debugger attaches now.

Edit: It's the youtube app. There is youtube video in the news pane. Open chrome://apps/, remove Youtube. Reload game page. Dashboard works now.

Sorry for the mix up with who owns what. I have used zezo for about 10 years and regularly donated because Omar had built a routing tool that could be used in VR, and asked for donations.
Now I am confused, I cannot access ZEZO or the dashboard using Google.
The work arounds worked ONCE. How do you eliminate the bugs in Google.
I am unfamiliar with how to change settings and program access.
A link to fix the problem is all that I and many thousands over VR players want and need.
CAN YOU FIX THIS DILEMMA please??
Cheers Ray

The link to fix this problem is chrome://apps .
It's a special in-browser link, and is blocked from normal navigation. You need to enter it manually in the address bar (where it says http://zezo.org/forum.pl?tid=8526).

After opening it, right-click the Youtube icon and select "Remove from Chrome'.

I cannot see a youtube icon

Even if the red Z is gone and the Dashboard is completely unuseable, you can still use Zezo. Just open a window, go to zezo.org, go to the race you want to route, and key in your coordinates manually. I still do it that way every time. I never use the link from Dashboard. No particular reason... I just feel I have better awareness of what I'm doing if I'm entering my coordinates and destinations in Zezo myself. I also prefer to sail without gloves or a hat because I like to feel what's going on in my boat.

Anyway... My point is just that you don't need Dashboard to use Zezo.
