I was wondering how someone would setup torque to play through the internet like Think Tanks did?

No sorry i meant like a flash game, so no downloading is required

Think tanks only LOOKS like it's playing through the internet. There WAS a download...it was just painless to you. Clark at BraveTree wrote an ActiveX control that would download & launch Think Tanks is how that works.

ThinkTanks is using ActiveX for the ThinkTanks in a Browser.

I am assuming that there are no resources / plugins available as of now for the same (other then OSA Kit, which does not solve all the problems)

How feasible it is to convert TGE into an ActiveX control? Does anyone has some information on man-hour effors invested in creating /migrating TGE as an ActiveX contol?

Think Tanks does NOT run as an ActiveX control, it does not run IN the browser.
The ActiveX control that ThinkTanks uses downloads, installs the game and then runs it.
So to re-iterate....
TGE will NOT run as an ActiveX control, and the man-hour cost is too high to even think about doing it.

OK just to keep this from de-railing further.Think Tanks does NOT run as an ActiveX control, it does not run IN the browser.
