New idea for wesnoth
I know that this does not happen often but i have been i places where i wish i had wesnoth but i dont.
is there a way to have a one hundred percent browser based wesnoth with all the addons so one does not have to install over 2 GB to play.
you could have flash or java.
it would take a lot of time but think of it. you are on a trip and you can get on a computer. if you install anything then you have to delete it once you are done. so instead you can just come to the wesnoth website and then atake one link and you can play. it would put save data in a cookie.

No, it's not possible. None of the scripting languages out there at the moment are powerful enough, there is no sound or graphic library, and java applet would be agonisingly slow. Furthermore due to the size of "cookies" people on low connection would find the game unplayable and we do not have the server with enough bandwidth to accomodate few thousand people downloading game graphics and sound at a time. And that's it.

Re: New idea for wesnoth
It would mean rewriting the whole program (you know, the one that people have been writing and testing 4 1/2 years) into another programming language. I guess it would take 1 1/2 years of work, with the team of the same size (because they do not have to make decisions, only copy existing solution, and also use existing data). Now you would either have to find a new team to do this; or all current developers would have to switch to Java and stop all their work on current Wesnoth.
For this to happen, you would have to find some Java-skilled hardcode Wesnoth fans who do not contribute to current Wesnoth, but would like to spend some years converting it to Java.

well i did say it would take a long time.
it was only an idea, and i wanted to have peoples opinoins.
i dont know how to program either but i have wanted to learn.
i have a one gb sony microvault that would make it take a third of a gb. but i alredy have it more than two-thirds of a gb full.
and on my last trip i forgot it.

Yeah, this would be insanely hard to program something in Flash identical to Wesnoth. However, it might be more viable to program a similar game, not quite the same. There is a flash Fire Emblem emulator, for example.

I live in a third-world country and somehow all HDDs in stores are of the 80-250 GB range.

Chile, third world country? C'mon - if anything your country could be labeled as a "second world country" or "developing country". =)
You're only 3 places behind Poland in the GDP per capita ranking and I don't think anybody would label Poland as a third world country except in jokes. ;-)
