Author Topic: In-Game web browser.  (Read 1559 times)

It would be great if someone could make an in-game web browser. If this even worked it would be good for V17(or 18, whatever version were on... I can't keep track.) The browser should work a lot like the mod manager but can go on more things than just the rtb add ons. If this is possible I think that whenever its made it would be cool to make it so the Blockland Forums is the homepage, but you can go on other sites. This would be good so you can post help topics right after you get the problem(like random server lag or players crashing before spawning on your server) without leaving Blockland.

Why would you need this? Is it that hard to switch from blockland to your web browser?

Once again people are trying to make Blockland more and more like Garry's mod (Reference to the computer mod for Garry's mod) Pointless idea.

Actually, they're just trying to make it more like steam.

use steam
or better yet
use alt+tab
damn kids

If you want this because of opening browser lags...then you're wrong, you will still lag

i wouldnt mind this, it would make it easier but you have to restart your blockland when you get a new addon and it really isnt that hard to just go on the internet and go to the BL forums. you can even make it your homepage

Ephialtes put this better than most others could say:

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

How about just making the forums available ingame?

A web browser would be very.
Bad.

Other part of his quote:

When I build the new forums they will be heavily integrated into the RTB API. Making the in-game interface for this would be pretty light work.

Although that's RTB forums, not Blockland. :cookieMonster:




Xfire has a web browser now?
It's had it forever. Press the little globe icon on the Xfire menu thing.

Wait, doesn't that just open the default browser?
