When I browse through these BBS´s I often find links to films recordet in AcesHigh. The film feature is a fantastic thing that makes it possible to share our experiences with each other. But we have to go through a long sequence of actions if we wanna see a film, and people from outside the AcesHigh enviroment cant see the film right away.
I have got 2 ideas, but they both requires some hitech programming:
1)The "cheap" solution.
The easiest solution I guess would be to make an association from aceshigh.exe to the film-files, so when you clicked an URL on a website, your installed AcesHigh would launch right away and start showing the film. (just as when MS-Word start if you click on a *.doc file). That would make us insiders use the film feature much more.
2)The "expensive" solution
The best solution, would be to make a plugin for Netscape and MIE. That would make it possible for outsiders to watch the film, and spread out over the whole internet the films would be great marketing for the game. The plugin should have the graphix engine, textures and filmviewer from the game and nothing else. This solution is only good if its possible to take the parts directly from the game, without recoding them too much. -I dunno but I am sure that Hitech does.
