Start Screen - Load web page?

by Christian · in Torque 2D Beginner · 11/13/2013 (9:56 pm) · 1 replies

Is it possible to have T2D have a start screen (WOW is a great example), that allows the player to see game updates, patch notes, news, etc loaded from a web page?

Or would it be better to create that in a program outside of Torque and have that program open up the torque exe?

I remember TGB having a welcome screen with an RSS feed. From what I remember, the code was pretty isolated and should be relatively easy to port.

Edit : For those with T2D or T2D pro (not MIT), you may find the scripts in the following script file \tgb\tools\editorClasses\scripts\RSSNews\RSSFeedScript.ed.cs
It uses a TCPobject and lists the kind of data required to setup an RSS feed reader.

As for a T2D MIT solution, as it stands now the closest thing would be to create a new tcpobject, as defined in engine\source\network\tcpObject.h and try to do something with the get scriptfunction, defined in engine\source\network\tcpObject_ScriptBinding.h
