craigg Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 I was going to add this as a feature to the LVZ Editor that I am sparsely working on, but I figured I would tell you about it before I forget The News reader on the client is actually a RichTextBox control which means is supports RTF encoding. Just create a RTF file and name it News.txt.
EdTheInvincible Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 one small problem tho.. the stuff doesnt seem to work on win98
Yupa Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 ...that's a problem? It doesn't matter, whoever makes the next client will do something smart like allow HTML or something.
»D1st0rt Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 I was talking to somebody who made a chatnet client with html parsing. Then they got spammed with an image tag linking to tubgirl and quickly logged off.
Agurus Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 Not hard at all, halo ctf has one already.
The Apache Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 We didn't need your comment Agurus. Anyways, thanks craigg.
»D1st0rt Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 Halo doesn't have a continuum client with html, and they don't have a chatnet client with html because Halo doesn't have chatnet capabilities. Or if you're referring to the rtf news box, of course it's easy. Anyone that knows how to use basically ANY word processing software can make it.
Confess Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 ewww, some people were trying to keep this a secret ya know :'(
»D1st0rt Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 I don't think its possible to keep it a secret if you're using it
Bak Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 images don't seem to work, unless you were referring to the hearts as images (they're not, just unicode letters).
Trained Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 images don't seem to work, unless you were referring to the hearts as images (they're not, just unicode letters).<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yea, I figured that out last night, with much dissapointment .
deadonarrival Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 "one small problem tho.. the stuff doesnt seem to work on win98" this really bugs me, i cant get news for some zones, i dont think it should be used until it works universally/someone buys me a new pc
»1587200 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 how about you update to an operating system that microsoft actually supports?
Donkano Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 What would be even better is if it could also conenct to a web address for HTML parsing because then you can also include other things like CGI and PHP and ASP, etc.
»D1st0rt Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 It's probably just better to have a link in the news to a website since the display box is so small
GENERAL_SLAYER Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 one small problem tho.. the stuff doesnt seem to work on win98lmao, upgrade your pc window98. If you say you still use dial up too..... i might understand, not all of us are rich.
Yoink Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 Would it be possible to make some sort of RSS feeder to export the news? (Perhaps this is the wrong thread).
»D1st0rt Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 smong's site has an rss feed of ss newshttp://toktok.sscentral.com
Dav Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 the truth is noone really uses win98 anymore. no offence but if the community was waiting for those users of win98 to upgrade before trying to move foward wed be making even slower progress then we are now.
»D1st0rt Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 A really good X11 RTF editor for those of you with linux:http://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/ It's WYSIWYG and doesn't produce any of the formatting bloat that other editors do. When I ran the Hyperspace News file through it, the file size shrank by half.
Intention Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 the truth is noone really uses win98 anymore. no offence but if the community was waiting for those users of win98 to upgrade before trying to move foward wed be making even slower progress then we are now. I find that funny and ironic that we're talking about progress and moving forward... on a Continuum forum Shows how awesomely flexible the game is, I guess
