Author Topic: Fireblox in-game web browser  (Read 448 times)

So I have an idea for an in-game browser that could be based off of the internet connection code used for the RTB Mod Manager, so that it can virtually load web pages within a GUI, but those pages must be abnormally basic. For example, no flash, java or other scripting should be processed as that would take too long to build in. Another thing is accessibility. We need a home page that has quick-links to common Blockland pages such as these forums, the RTB forums or the other like. Aside from the links should be a simple google search that would work just like the google website itself. As part of the GUI there should be a bar on the top with

>URL input
>Back/forward navigation, refresh, stop loading page, home
>6 different bookmark slots for easy access to long URLs below the other two

I don't think tabs should be needed, but just opening another Fireblox window would work fine as Blockland has a GUI minimization feature that no one uses, ever.

Anyways to wrap this up, does anyone think they can make this or know someone who can make it for the thread? Thanks before-hand.

Is it too hard to just switch windows?

For the people in fullscreen in can take 15 seconds of precious time, and 5 to switch back.

Ephialtes put this better than most others could say:

It would not be feasible to write an HTML and CSS parser in TorqueScript.
