ACS Networking
Can ACS access networking resources?
Can I say to ACS:
Hey, connect to port 80, and send this information to http://domain.tld/zdoom.php?update=1&p1 ... Wax,Johnny

Re: ACS Networking
That could be cool Assuming it is game related [vs some generalized net access], thus actually fits in the scheme of game multi-player stuff. Indirectly that's somewhat done now if you think about it.charris wrote:Can ACS access networking resources?
ATM have no idea how it could be useful , but then that's a typical chicken and egg conceptual problem.

Code: Select all
script 1 (void){

}
YNI and Agent ME are asking for two different things. YNI wants a way to transfer game stats from a ZDoom server to a website. Agent ME is asking for a way to download from a website to ZDoom.
If it was just a bit of data that ZDoom displayed in a controlled manner, it wouldn't pose any threat to the user, and vice versa.

If you wan't the daily ZDoom news quickly put it on active desktop.Agent ME wrote:I know many ways it would be useful. I would like it. Just as long as we can download a variable from a file at an URL. Then we could have "The Daily ZDooM News" in a WAD! (Just as long as someone constantly updated the file.)
