Regarding Openurl

[Gunderak]

is there anyway to use OpenURL inside the game?
Maybe like setting up cbk1994's web server to communicate with the servers requested and download a html file of it?
or maybe even some kind of serverside functionality like this?

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide() {
  if (params[0] == "getdata") {
    temp.data = openurl("http://www.google.com");
    triggerclient("weapon", this.name, "receive", data);
  }
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  CreateGui();
}

function CreateGui() {
  new GuiScrollCtrl("Data_Handler") {
    profile = GuiBlueScrollProfile;
    x = screenwidth / 2 - width / 2;
    y = screenheight / 2 - height / 2;
    width = 250;
    height = 100;
    hScrollBar = "dynamic";
    vScrollBar = "alwaysOn";

    new GuiMLTextCtrl("Data") {
      profile = GuiBlueMLTextProfile;
      x = 0;
      y = 0;
      width = 250;
      height = 80;
      text = "Loading Data From Server...";
    }
  }
}

function onActionClientSide() {
  if (params[0] == "receive") {
    Data.text = params[1];
  }
} 


[Mark Sir Link]

you can requesturl a given site and then create a script to interpret all the scripts you'd possibly encounter, or search for the thread on GUIBrowserCtrl and ask Stefan to implement that

[Gunderak]

Your first idea sounds like a good one, how would I get the data returned in a huge lump using requestURL?
the rest I reckon I could take care of.

You can use requesturl on the client-side.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {
  temp.req = requesturl("http://www.google.com");
  this.catchevent(temp.req, "onReceiveData", "onSiteDownloaded");
}

function onSiteDownloaded(obj) {
  echo("Site Data Size: " @ obj.fulldata.length());
  // Full data will contain the html data and so on.
}

I want to pay you money to be my personal assistant!
May I ask how this works clientside? I would of thought it would have to of been serverside.
but Thanks!

[cbk1994]

Similar to requesthttp. It returns a data object which contains the page source.

[Gunderak]

ah ok, I see now.
May I ask how you would set up some type of formatting tool using a multiline GUI.
Say for instance the HTML page contained <whatever>abcd</whatever> which made abcd in bold or something.
Is there any way to make it format it properly?
I thought I would be able to, but it turns out it is alot harder than I thought it would be.
