Way to grab images/info off internet

by brian_cbcbcb · in Torque Game Builder · 05/13/2010 (1:31 am) · 3 replies

Hi everyone,

I am still quite new to this.
I was looking for a way to grab images off a web source,
so that images in my game environment can update dynamically?

I found this resource link in other forums but seems their site is down.
www.mmoworkshop.com/trac/mom/wiki/TGBBrowser

Any way someone could provide/send to me from an alternative source?
Or other good alternatives, I am also willing to consider.

Thank you!

You might look into libcurl. There's even a resource for it it to integrate it into TorqueScript. Note: you'll need the source for that to work. With the base TGB install, I can't think of a way to get a file easily.

I thought it was possible using TCPObject but a quick search turns up a flaw it seems.

I created a resource not so long ago for T3D. It probably could be adapted for TGB if someone wanted to:
