[Site - Command

[Site - Command

This is a very simple quick command that will allow your player to open their browser to your shard's website. New players will not need to know your address to go find info or vet players can use it to quickly get to the site forums.

You could easily change & duplicate this to have different commands to open up to different sites... directly to your forums for example... or to where ever you like.

INSTALL
Install is very simple... save this file to your favorite custom scripts location and edit the two clearly marked lines with your shard name and website address. Restart your server and your good to go!!

just type [Site and your browser will open right to your shards site.

!!!! All thanks goes to Sephy for the idea, I just made it work. !!!!

I like this idea, its just that when you say

New players will not need to know your address to go find info or vet players can use it to quickly get to the site forums.

I think of new players... and if they don't know your site, they sure as hell won't know this command
Good Job though.

Good job m8... you could also add this to a stone.. on my shard, we have a 'vote & url stone' which features our forums, main website, radio page and launches our vote pages depending on what button you press...

Keep up the good work ^^

 

[twig]

Yeah.. I plan to use this in many helpfull ways.. hehe

 

[Joeku]

Nice job! I would have never thought of this!

The only suggestion I have is to change the command to [Website ([Site can have multiple meanings...)

 

[nomad707]

Nice script. Very usefull. It comes in very handy so i dont have to type my url to players all the time =)

 

[twig]

have your welcometimer tell newbies to use [Site to get you your page... and you have even less work.. hehe


I thought about using [Website for the command.. but I figured 4 leters was easier to rememeber (and faster to type) for most users...

 

[Kronos99]

nice, ill probably add this to my server when i get home (im not a stone person, i usually do a book)

are you using a standard browser?? I have only tested this with IE.. i suppose there may be a browser type that RunUO wont open?

 

[Dave1969]

Yes i Use IE also

Yes i Use IE also

 

[twig]

hmmmm.... lets see.. Do you use a pop up blocker?? if so try to turn it off then try it.

Anyone else have the problem??

 

[Kamron]

have your welcometimer tell newbies to use [Site to get you your page... and you have even less work.. hehe

You could use both [Website and [Site

 

[Dave1969]

Yeah i turned off the ad popup blocker. Still nothing

Did anyone look at the file that i posted. Is it correct?

 

[twig]

It does look like it will work.. not seeing a prob in it.... hehhe I use this on my shard with no probs...

 

[No@h]

I am using it without any problem. I also added a [forum and a [vote command to it. Thanks for the idea
(+ karma)

this can also be handy to use to have point to help pages or what not that people may use often.. or to a large map when you have a custom map... or even to a radio station.. a video.. or anything realy that you can type into your browser.
