Browse Internet within TGB

by Chad Kilgore · in Technical Issues · 08/21/2006 (11:35 am) · 4 replies

I am creating a game that emulates/mimics a common operating system, such as Windows XP, and am curious if Torque would allow players to browse the internet from within the game (through a faux internet browser). If so, where should I begin? Thanks.

No I belive when you load a URL it loads your default browser

Is there anyway then to by-pass the system's default browser and load a URL from a browser that exists in the game environment?

TML might be of use here. The Torque Markup Language is similar to HTML but not nearly as full featured. And it works within your game's GUIs. Getting it do do what you want might be a bit tricky though.
