[Bf-committers] The G Variable and ActiveX

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Most (if not all) of the members in G will fade out in 2.5. Not that 
this helps you now... but for the moment you could accept to limit 
amount of running plugins per page to one?

Another approach is to collect all bad Blender code in the GE and 
player and replace with a nice local wrapper, waiting for better 
context code in the main Blender tree. I wouldn't touch the blender 
code itself for this though, will make migration too hard.

(blender/source/blender = "main blender code")
(blender/source/gameengine = where wrappers can be added)

Consulting Benoit would help too. :)
