A web browser page IN GAME!! So you don't hafta install a million mods to find info!! Just go check out Ogaming.com whenever you want without downsizing & slowing down your game! & if someone already made this....I'll kick myself.

this is in the default game

type
/show_window Inventory.HTML

to get it to show up. Think that is the name anyway, oh and if I remember it is case sensitive so the HTML has to be in caps

Just be careful with the built-in browser. Currently, it's not a fully compliant browser. And it's full of bugs, so expect it to randomly execute the /exit command which will really slow down your game play.

It's adequate for looking at simple web pages, but it doesn't do well on complicated ones.

And we can't make one for ingame. All we can really do is dress up the UI we can't change or add functions to it.

If there was specific information you wanted.... you could actually build a "simple" webpage to display it. So that you and others could access using the in game browser without having the game crap out.

The info is out there, though compiling it would be a chore. As would keeping it up to date. You would also run into the problem of taking all of the information and working it in to an easily navigated site that would still be "simple" enough that it didn't cause problems for the game.

For me it was more time/cost effective to buy a second monitor and eventually a second computer.

or you could just install the Milquetowst Info Center which has just about any bit of information you could need in game. And if memory serves, it also allows you to add your own notes
