Is it possible In future. fpscr for web Browser.

It's the only thing I was waiting for.

I ask this because FPSCR Based on DirectX And it is only suitable for Windows operating system.

Would it be possible in the future it will work on a browser? I did not see it in the list of "Vote for Features".

I saw that there are a lot of users Add and change things in the FPSCR And I wanted to ask whether Is it hard to do even for low quality? If this is something anyone can do I'm willing to pay for it.

I wouldn't count on this ever happening, at least not for years. Since FPSC:R is still based on DirectX rather than OpenGL, the path to get it from desktop to browser is much more complex than porting an OpenGL app to WebGL, for instance. There have been some DirectX-capable browser plugins built for specialized engines (i.e., WebVision) but it would still be a monster undertaking to optimize and implement such a plugin for FPSC:R. The desktop version itself still struggles with performance so getting a good experience within a browser is unlikely.

TGC did have some success a couple years ago porting AGK-based apps to WebGL for playing in a browser with Freedom Engine, including some FPS maps. However, that project was abandoned and has no correlation to the current development track of FPSC:R.

I can say that we continue to develop AGK-V2 in house as this will ultimately be our vehicle to move Reloaded to other platforms, but as stated we want to totally focus on PC Windows for the foreseeable future.
