Displaying HTML inside of Torque?

by Dreamer · in Torque Game Engine · 04/22/2005 (7:41 am) · 42 replies

I'm just wondering if anyone has ever gotten HTML to display inside of a Torque window.

I know we can open a webbrowser while playing, but this has issues when a game is running full screen in linux under KDE (It makes the game appear to freeze, when in reality we have just given focus to a child window rendered behind the full screen game).

Anyways this functionality could be useful for a number of reasons, but my thinking is to replace the current help system, with a dynamically updated help from my website.

Thoughts?

I personally don't see that as a benefit. Gecko runs great in software on my laptop, at high resolutions. I'd rather be able to parallelize the GPU and CPU rather than bringing in a whole new infrastructure. Cairo is cool esp. since it sets one up to take advantage of Longhorn and Quartz, but doesn't really seem to bring big wins in this context.

Oh yeah, you also have to burn texture memory on random web site content. Oh boy! :)
