Does not work for me. I would be up for a long game on 250-300 province map. Though i prefer all the races to be in the game.

To find version in most programs, go to Help, then About.

My Firefox 1.5.0.11 on one machine was lost. Said I didnt have an IRC program setup. The same thing I got from Explorer.

My Firefox 2.0.0.2 on the other machine opened up a great little chat window and popped me right into the dominions channel. Im going to upgrade my other firefox now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

It worked on my Mac using the Safari browser and the Colloquy IRC client, and Ygorl has a Mac, too.

Wow... how nice. It opens up the IRC client and everythang.

Is there a way to make it work as a desktop shortcut?

Thanks.

In windows I can create a shortcut then edit it to be the same URL. That will automatically open the browser and carry it out. It also works for files, email addresses, ftp, telnet. Tons of things.

Also, it doesnt have to be a pre-created channel like #dominions. If you wanted to start a game called zygotes then you could use the same url and replace the dominions channel with zygotes creating a seperate IRC chat for just that game. Listing the URL in the game thread would be pretty cool.

Hmm, there must a way to do it on the Mac, just like I have a short cut "script" for logging onto server games. But, I relied on someone who knows Applescript to create it. One of these days I should teach myself a bit of Applescript magic.

Oh... Gandalf... there is a rumor right now in the IRC room that you were there briefly.... before everyone could invite you to a blitz. Is this true or just a wicked rumor?

Re: try this link
 
Not a rumor. I jumped in and out of a few rooms on a few irc servers while I was testing this. Anything with a *dom* in the name that looked appropriate. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

But I didnt want to disturb the conversations so I jumped right out. I didnt realize that going in this way was going to announce me without letting me use my just-another-gamer nick. Im more used to seeing things from the server side.

Just-another-gamer nick? Have you been masquerading, Gandalf? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Feel free to come chat sometime as thyself! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
