Scripting Your Own Pop-Up Windows.

Scripts For Dummies!

Since I figured out how to do this with the help of a friend earlier this week, i have had a deluge of people asking me how to do it. Hence, im gonna write a little thread on how its done, so that i can just give the link to anyone who asks me how to do it when they see my using it. Maybe someone could sticky it for me, as i think its pretty cool info, good to know.

Right. The first thing you need to do is make sure you have a scripts folder. Go to your Anarchy Online folder, there should be a folder called "Scripts". If there isnt, make a new folder, and name it "Scripts"

Next, you need to open up notepad.

Right, paste the following in there, ill explain what it all means.

<a href="text://Text Goes Here">Link Goes Here</a>

Okay, the "<a href" tells Ao that you want to make a window that people can get up by clicking your link.

The ="text://TestGoesHere" tells Ao what you want INSIDE that window

And the >LinkGoesHere</a> Tells Ao what you want your link in the Chat window to say.

So the script:

<a href="text://Hey look i can script! Yey for me!">Clicky Clicky!</a>

Would put a blue link called Clicky Clicky into the chat window, and when clicked on it would bring up a window that said "Hey look, i can script! Yey for me!"

Thats about it, simple as =)

As i figure out more stuff, ill post other stuff, such as how to add colours and whatnot.

Enjoy =)

Lol hi jekel.

im the person that told him how to do it :P

You forgot to say that at the beginning of the script you need to say what chat channel you want to send the script to.

at begining of script, do /g "Clan OOC" for that channel... also do /v for viciinity, /t for team chat, and /o for org chat, and /g "Clan Shopping 1-50" for shopping

e.g. the script would be:

/g "Clan OOC" <a href="text://Text Goes Here">Link Goes Here</a>

good luck

Time for 2 page scripting now jekel... Also colors, alignments on the page, paragraphs.. I might add when i go tnothing better to do.

Hah, yeah, Kindduck is a champion =)

Also, if you dont put the channel you want to send it to in your script, which i dont advise, just do /scriptnamehere.txt in whatever channel your in to send it to that one, makes it easier.

there are a lot of html-like tags available...
and href://text isnt the only href you can use
heres a sample of some things you can do:

Code:

<a href="text://some examples: <a href='chatcmd:///s im l33t'><img src=rdb://156598></a>< click on the picture <a href='chatcmd:///start http://www.google.com'>google</a> <a href='chatcmd:///macro asd /assist asd'>Click here to make assit macro to asd</a> <a href='chatcmd:///quit'>Thankfully FC dont has warnings on some chatcommands</a> <a href='itemref://258545/258545/1'>A leet Pie</a> < a link to item">click!</a>

itemref syntax: itemref://lowid/highid/ql << lowid and highid can be copyed from auno/audb urls-s.. example: http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=258545 or http://aomainframe.info/showitem.aspx?AOID=258545

img syntax: the easyest way of finding out the nr for your item is again using auno/aodb: if you open a page with item on it theres a picture of it... right click the picture to find out its url... http://auno.org/res/aoicons/130518.gif or http://aomainframe.info/icons/130518.gif

happy scripting :)

My Tier one Info looks like this in our bot.

It is in swedish though but you may translate it if you want to use it. To get it in the bot i used !learn > t1 as a command. And to look at it we type !info t1.
(no colours added since i am totally colourblind)

Tradeskill Script

Hi all

just trying a script, trying to get it working, will try tonight;

/skills1-50

Code:

/g "Clan Shopping 1-50" <a href="text://Tradeskiller now available Skills: Mech. Engi=350 Elec. Engi=350 Quantum FT=75 Weapon Smt=25 Pharma Tech=90 Nano Program=120 Comp.

Comments? Sugegstions?
I was going to try to make a set of these scripts, one for each shopping channel, one for shout and one for org chat.

is there a way to set arguments in a script using %1, %2, %3 etc?

e.g. if i remove the /g "clan shopping 1-50" from the start, will it be said in the current channel? i.e. call it "skillstext" and run an "over script"

/skillsspam

Code:

/g "clan shopping 1-50" /skillstext /g "clan shopping 50-100" /skillstext /o /skillstext /s /skillstext

/skillsshop

Code:

/g "clan shopping 1-50" /skillstext /g "clan shopping 50-100" /skillstext

/skillstext

Code:

<a href="text://Tradeskiller now available Skills: Mech. Engi=350 Elec. Engi=350 Quantum FT=75 Weapon Smt=25 Pharma Tech=90 Nano Program=120 Comp.

if you don't have the /g it will be said in the currently selected channel, but you could use /ch "channel name" to change the channel first.

Somewhat confused here, is this coding exactly as HTML coding? you just need <a href="text:// before you start writing HTML stuff? and end with a </a> instead of <body></body>?

Similar but not exactly the same as HTML.

Final Product

Hi all. I ended up using the following as my ad;

note that you gotta have it all on one line for it to work; I've seperated it so you can understand it a bit.

Code:

<a href="text://<img src='rdb://33167'>Tradeskills now for hire!!!<img src='rdb://255463'> <a href='chatcmd:///tell Junket'>/Tell Junket</a> Skills: <center>Mech. Engi = 364 Elec.

Lit. = 359 Chemistry = 255</div> Products I can Make (Prices as per <a href='chatcmd:///start http://forums.anarchy-online.com/showthread.php?t=443225'>Pricing for tradeskills v3.0</a>) <a href='itemref://162431/162432/80'><img src='rdb://162421'> Carbonum Armour up to Level 80</a> Price: 3x QL of the suit (Full or partial Set) <a href='itemref://10321/10321/1'><img src='rdb://195261'> Implants to QL 50</a> Full Set: 1k per QL (My price) All skills are at Org Hq. Please -100 for on-the-spot skills Designed By Junket RK2 <a href='chatcmd:///tell Junket'>/Tell Junket</a> ">Tradeskills For Hire</a>

Here's an image of it:
http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?i...eskills5rl.jpg

Some things I've learnt:
- The entire <TAG> has to be on one line to work (no "returns")
- You can't use a script to type a script function into a channel, like:

Code:

/g "Clan shopping 1-50" /skills.txt /v /skills.txt /o /skills.txt

outputs as

Quote:

Junket: /skills.txt
[Leet-Bloc] Junket: /skills.txt
[Clan shopping 1-50] Junket: /skills.txt

(this is embarassing)

Instead, you have to use:

Code:

/g "Clan shopping 1-50" <a href="xxxx"></a> /v <a href="xxxx"></a> /o <a href="xxxx"></a>

- Image Tags are not just the number of the item; many items share one image, so use the "properties" of the image in auno or aomainframe to find out
- Implants are hard to reference
- LowID/HighID/QL refers to the two items that are the same "item" but at two ends of the spectrum; the QL "interpolates" between them.
-The maximum length of a script appears to be one full "line" in windows notepad if word wrap is off (ie. it wraps anyway) and any longer than this and the client will crash

Feel free to use the template above for your own - but please quote me as the designer

what you can do however is:

Code:

/ch "Shopping \o/ 1-50" /displaySkills /ch "Shopping \o/ 50-100" /displaySkills /ch "Vicinity" /displaySkills

and displaySkills script would be something like

Code:

<a href="...">click me!!! please click!! FREE EPEEN!</a>

I appear to be having a problem with "itemref://" for example:

<a href='itemref://247573/247573/286'>

Should be a QL286 Kyr'Ozch Axe - Type 240

However, when you click the link, it gives the info for a QL1 instead of QL286 (although it still displays the QL as QL286 in the item window).

[Edit] Its ok someone helped me in game. I needed to make highid 1 higher than lowid

Vhax

It's because you're only using 1 ID.
The 2 ID's you passed are both ql 1 so doing a calculation between those 2 leaves the ql 1 stats. find the matching high ID instead and use that.

I looked up the item on auno:
http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=254693&ql=286

254693 would be the lowID.
all we need now is the high ID,

when looking at that page we notice:
286 (interpolated between QL 200 and QL 299)
now, when looking at the links, QL 200 points at the lowID and ql 299 at the high ID.
put these 2 together and add the QL and you're all done.

[Edit] making the highid 1 higher doesn't always work. also you seemed to have the wrong item (the one you had isn't ingame, it's an error in the database, there's an entry that's almost exactly the same that is the correct one)
