Developments and two orphan extensions

[vortex2]

Over the past few months I have come to realize an important fact: There are only 25 hours in the day. Try as I might to get all of my projects accomplished, unfortunately I have come to the realization that some projects would likely sit on my hard drive forever.

As per my nature I bit off more then I could chew in the past couple of years in terms of extension projects. Uni proved to be far more time consuming then I expected (That coupled with the socialization of other carbon based life forms within close proximity to myself...) and as a result I am attempting to wipe out as many projects as possible in an effort to get a fresh slate.

While I still plan to finish Overlay and Fusion Dynamics, here are two extensions which I am releasing open source to you all in the hopes that a developer will finish them.

My terms are that Any extension which uses major parts of my source code or implementation must credit me where such credit is due. Other then that you are free to sell the extensions, rip them apart, laugh at the coding, or whatever you want to do.

Here they are:

Web Browser Source

EasyScrollbar Source

They both need work to get them to a releasable stage but it is up to the developer to figure out what work they both need.

My last development is this: I have come to realize that I do not have time to lead the Ogre project so Clickteam or anyone else is free to lead such a project and I will do my best to help out where and when I can

That is all, enjoy!

Thanks for releasing your sources Vortex2.

I have a little question what can be done with the extension WebBrowser which can't be done with ActiveX object of MMF2 ?

Probably nothing.
I think we need something like the we browser object, but it will use Mozilla (Not Mozilla ActiveX, the standard non-ActiveX version).
Advantages VS IE ActiveX:
It's Mozilla, it will render stuff right.
Advantages VS IE and Gecko AcitveX:
It's not an ActiveX but a stand alone program that doesn't need a 3rd party program installed (like IE or Gecko Active.
Some people doesn't have IE installed (Windows 95 users. Yes, They still exist.) or have it uninstalled (Like me, I don't want or need it).

Well when I made it the ActiveX object was very messed up. Also the extension serves to make this particular ActiveX easier to use in your applications by giving a clean interface to the functionality without the need to hunt through very vague lists of actions and such. Plus the required parameters are clear and easy to understand.
