Crystalspace & Cel as a browser pluging. Is this just a crazy dream or is can it become real? A member of the CS community has created a celstart plugin for firefox so technically it can be done.
I am currently working for a coustomer who wants a small virtual world in their webpage. I have been looking at different technical solutions for this but if- it could be done in cs it would give me incredible artistic power to make some really nice looking graphics compared to the alternatives. Her are some reasons why I think it would be very difficult/impossible to use cs/cel for this project: 1 Deployment of software on so many different platforms/browsers and hw. This as I see it is the main problem. With the deployment of this type of plugin comes hw issues, browser version issues os issues, antivirus/firewall issues, and so on. This is for example why I am seriously considering using flash even thought the graphics would su** and it would have serious feature limitations and flash is not a developer friendly platform to use. 2 Size of the plugin and library dependences. How big would the plugin be? Flash is about 4 mb. (1.5 mb for the activeX plugin.) 3 Hw requirements. What sort of hw would be needed to run a sc/cel application? Could it run for example on a normal modern laptop? (in this particular case the target users are not heavy computer users or gamers. Just ordinary users.) 4 Why make it a browser plugin at all? If flash (Flash will probably never be a good choice for 3D because Adobe doesn't want to add the features needed to do so. According to there standard policy about keeping it simple.) So if Flash and other 3D web plugins dosn't work why not make it a standalone application? Sorry for the long text. I really want your feedback on this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
