"Internet" in A3?

[XerXesCZ 89]

Hello,

 

in the new mini-campaign Remnants of War, 

Spoiler

when you are almost on the end, the reporter will contact you and you can review her article on the laptop in your van.

 

Any idea how BI acomplished that? Normally I would see for myself how things work, but campaign files are *.ebo.

 

Thanks in advance for any help, I see endless possibilities here.

You mean article function?

You could easily simulate some kind of "internet" with a few fake websites and links between them.

Basically a few structured texts, images and mouse button eventhandlers should do the trick.

 

Rendering a dialog gui to a texture, now that would be great stuff.

 

Cheers

I also tried to click the links at the top immediately.

This is a great idea!

 

Would it be possible too to lay invisible buttons over these links in the article functions and make them open another article / web page?
