[macadoum]

Hello, Urban Terror have now a launcher. Can launch UT from the web server list !

It's wonderful !

UT is more or less the same than MOHAA, can it is possible to modify the launcher for MOHAA or made a specific launcher for MOHAA?

It can be very useful.

Not a bad suggestion. I'll look into this. Thanks for sharing.

Macadoum are you using that then? I mean many are using the mohaa's inbuild server browser or are anyway running a tool like XFire, so I mean thats working for the users now, what would be the advantage of a webbased moh launcher ?

[Elgan]

its not hard I made one years ago, a few have been done, but I don't think they are that useful tbh :S

[macadoum]

It's very useful for me, more quick than go in the game, click on several buttons and can't class server easily...
Elgan, what have you do exactly ?

[Elgan]

well I'm not sure how that site works but several options are available

ms activex's, browser plugins etc,

Reg, replace Drive:\\Path\\ by your mohaa's path
for example D:\\MOHAA\\mohaa.exe, 2 backslash must be used

REGEDIT 4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\moh]
"URL Protocol"=""
@="URL:UrlLancher Protocol Handler"
"DefaultIcon"="\"Drive:\\Path\\mohaa.exe,1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\moh\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\moh\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\moh\shell\open\command]
@="\"Drive:\\Path\\mohaa.bat\" %1"

Batch, name it to mohaa.bat and place it in the mohaa directory

%~d0
cd %~dp0
set split=%1
mohaa.exe +connect %split:~6,-1%

i don't know if it works for you guys, for me it's fine

Damn, nice I missed this post, but that's super helpful.

Leyok, so how would this be used in a php\html form? I'm thinking of taking all user servers posted on this forum and maybe creating a little server status page where people can check live stats from the server and connect to it from this site. I think that would be useful.

I can whip up a exe file really quickly to execute the above registry settings as you mentioned to "register" the games directory and then they should be able to connect through here. Or atleast I think that would be a nifty feature.

EDIT:

%~d0cd %~dp0set split=%1mohaa.exe +connect %split:~6,-1%

I'm going to feel stupid here, but can you explain how your batch script works? I'm fairly knowledgeable with batch scripting, and use it at work, but I don't know what exactly you're doing. The last line is the only one that makes sense to me. I understand split is just a variable you're setting, but to make it less confusing I would personally probably use the variable ipaddress to connect to.

in batch there are specials arguments (I don't know all of them), the %~d0 retrieves the drive where the batch resides, and %~p0 retrieve the path of the batch (without the drive), if you combine %~dp0, it will be the drive and the path for the batch. you can find specials arguments here

the %1, %2, etc... are arguments specified as a parameter when you execute the batch file, for example batch.bat test1 test2, %1 is test1, and %2 is test2

in html/php, you change http:// to moh://, like <a href="moh://192.168.1.1/" target="_blank">

oh wow. Thanks for the explanation. I will try and put something together when I get some time. Thanks!
