Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

we've already got plans for that, basically meeting rooms users can "hire" out for private group meetings, have the group turn up, lock the door from the inside, and have privicy. We'll probably try put in some controlable wall for browsing a website too, so the group could view things on its site if they need to/have one.
depends on how you implement it.how will the interface work in-game?
Yep its possible, with a bit of work. Don't expect it to work with all sites though, just basic ones, depends how much you work on it though I expect.Arrowhead said:is it possible to have a server browser running within sources environment? I don't just mean in the GUI, but actually displayed in the 3D world for others in multiplayer to see aswell.

ok .. though I've never been told about it before.Hasan, not gonna tell you again about your sig *edited*
They can't use IE window because that's just shite
You could just have the "terminal" or wherever you can use the internet link to specific websites only. Posting on HL2.net while in Sourceworld anyone?Sunlight said:This might prove to be complicated, in the slightest.. but, uhh.. you.. err, I don't know if it's really possible, or even worth it. It takes a lot of time, effort, sweat, and blood to make a browser, then trying to incorporate one into a video game, (which would just end up getting people "pain'd," "goatse'd," or "*******'d,") would, seriously, be extremely hard. Maybe like, fake browsing, with a list of things you can click, or shoot, and it takes you to a texture of the home page..
Or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass, here.

oh, and I support the Iraqi resistance.
and if you still don't get it, I'm Iraqi
Very true, however aside from work load I can't see what would actually stop anyone from doing this.Sunlight said:Still, you have to code a browser. I'm sure you're smart enough to know what the source to a webpage looks like, well.. It's complicated to code something to read all of that, and output it correctly, without errors.
don't mess with my sig, everybody puts bush/cheny 04 and a "terrorists want us to give them a blind eye" bush quotes.You have spelt Hussain wrong so I am guessing your lieing with your sig.

We aren't really able to disclose implementation details for this particular feature, but I can assure you, it is possible and it is something we are considering for Sourceworld.
Yeah but what abiout people on 98 who can uninstall IE? Lots of people do this in fact.
Monder said:Do you have access to the HL2 SDK or something? I'm just wondering how you know about the implementation details.
We plan on implementing this in our mod.. tho not so others in multiplayer can see what you're browsing, as that would open up lots of hacks, etc. Rather, just a 3d window where you can type in a URL and browse the pages (with the same crosshair interface as doom3).Arrowhead said:is it possible to have a server browser running within sources environment?

Arrowhead said:hello,
just reviving this thread to see if anyone has accomplished anything like this yet. Last year I saw a couple of screenshots from the hostile-planet mod, and they had halflife2.net loaded on a wall in-game. but I haven't heard anything from them since...
This is the only example I could find being the shot on the far left.
