Robpol86 Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 (edited) if i alredy requested, kill this [4:16:12 pm] ithey should make the mta client take the "mta" protocol, like irc, like when u type mta://127.0.0.1:2003 in the run dialogue, it will open the client and connect there, or when u clicka link w/ mta:// instead of http:// or mtavc:// and gta3mta:// edit: yay!! my 1st feature request resolved!!! thnx eAi http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?p=57735 Edited December 17, 2003 by Guest
RandysWay Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 I totally agree. That will be a ultra-useful feature if people wish to have server listings on their websites.
Cray Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Cool, never even thought about it ... can't say I know how to do it right now, but I guess it is something to look into.
Si|ent Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 i agree rob, i asked for this way back when i first opened #mta-servers so i could add it to the server ads, but then as in now nobody was really sure how to go about it.
Robpol86 Posted September 30, 2003 Author Posted September 30, 2003 ANOTHER FEATURE REQUEST::::: and this 1 is prolly very easy to implement. server 0.2.1 still crashes, but i understand, beta. my temporary solution is a while loop in linux. but the sideeffect of this is that every 10 seconds the logfile is turncated. its because every 10 secs it opens a new MTAServer session, but since mtaserver cant open the sockets (cuz theyre already in use if the server hasnt crashed yet), it closes. every time it opens, it clears logfile. i would want it to not turncate the logfile every time MTAServer is started. just keep appending to logfile. +$0.02
Flesh eater Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 since its an feature topic for vice client ;c), the team a surely notify this that it need the possibility to modify his nickname in game, maybe it will desync, so if not possible, no prob :c)
NoZero Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 The URL handler feature is pretty simple to include... First you need to add some stuff to your registry - .reg file (change the dirs!): Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MTA] @="URL:MTA Protocol" "URL Protocol"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MTA\DefaultIcon] @="\"E:\\Programmer\\Rockstar Games\\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\\MTA\\MTAClient.exe\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MTA\Shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MTA\Shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MTA\Shell\open\command] @="\"E:\\Programmer\\Rockstar Games\\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\\MTA\\MTAClient.exe\" +connect %1" But this wont get the thing working When you, with this added to your registrey, try to execute: mta://127.0.0.1:2003, then MTA will get "mta://127.0.0.1:2003" as "+connect" argument.... So as far as i can see, the only possibility is, if the MTA team adds a handler for the that "+connect" argument: mta://address:port/ Hmm dunno if it explained it well enough, but it really is pretty easy
Guest Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 i agree rob, i asked for this way back when i first opened #mta-servers so i could add it to the server ads, but then as in now nobody was really sure how to go about it. This is quite easy - you just need to register the new protocol (eg mta-vc://) in the windows registry. This could be done first time the user runs the client. I'll drop you a message with some examples and more details...
Guest Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 I'll drop you a message with some examples and more details... D'Oh! Looks like NoZero beat me to it
Robpol86 Posted September 30, 2003 Author Posted September 30, 2003 changing ur nick in game? i disagreee. that will only bring great confusion. tell me a game that allows nick changes without rejoining
Flesh eater Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 quake...unreal...wolfenstein....bfp... ;c)
Robpol86 Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 oh yea , wtf was i thinkin, i CAN change my nick ingame... stfu i dunno wtf i was thinkin! anywayz... pretend i never said anything on the last post
trx Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 It's quite unnerving in Wolfenstein and other games to have a TK'er on your team which renames himself to your nick. I don't think it's a good idea at all to allow for this.
[xNet]DrDre Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 well guys, we dont need a mta-vc:// if the clients gonna be one soon mta:// would be fine and i wass gonna suggest this too cuz i tried to run the mta exe thru file:/// blah but it didnt work so please get this done for my server listing! http://thexnetwork.net/mta/
Robpol86 Posted October 3, 2003 Author Posted October 3, 2003 HERE I FOUND IT regedit My Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc thats something to start u off w/
eAi Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Ok folks, I quickly knocked up a program for you. Just download this program and extract it somewhere. Once extracted, run it. It should say that it installed, click ok. Thats it. MTA:// links should now work. eAi
Wartech Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Grr... stupid eAi did it before me! Idea stealer Anyway... mta_url_handler.rar (11,8KB) Place mta_url_handler.exe in C:\WINNT\system32 or wherever you feel like, but remember to edit the paths in the mta_url_handler.reg before you run it. -Wartech
eAi Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 My one is self-contained No stupid paths or anything... no files to edit. Just run and enjoy eAi Well, try both, I don't care!
Guest Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Sup guys I wanna be the first to add mta:// to mirc so here it goes. Add this to your Remote section in mirc on ^*:hotlink:mta*//*:*: { } on *:hotlink:mta*//*:*: { $dde(IExplore, WWW_OpenURL, $1, 5) } or on ^*:hotlink:mta*//*:*: { return } on *:hotlink:mta*//*:*: { run "C:\your\path\to\IEXPLORE.EXE" $1 } then when some one types mta://64.246.50.5:2003 just double click it and it will open it using eAi's ( http://www.opencoding.net/zips/mtaph.zip)Proggy or wartechs (http://blackedge.org/~wartech/mta_url_handler.rar)
eAi Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Ok folks, my "protocol handler" will now add itself to mIRC (if you have it installed). As before, just download http://www.opencoding.net/zips/mtaph.zip and run it. eAi
