Author Topic: The OACON protocol! (Read 1683 times)

Diho · « **on:** February 19, 2010, 20:43:05 PM »

We, IO^clan, proudly Present:

Click and play!
Launch Openarena and connect to a server with a single click from your browser!

After a lot of work we finally managed to make a new URL protocol.
With this new protocol you can connect to OpenArena servers by simply using
<this serverviewer> and clicking the Join button. That is all, just clicking Join.
For private servers we also made a little option to enter the password. After
entering, it connects just the same way as it would normally

So enough talk, you want to see it of course! Just move on to <http://theoacon.tk/> and click
the downloadlink. Follow the simple steps and test it on your favorite server

Hope you enjoy it ^^

Regards,
The IO clan.

hm after some ~~good~~ nasty timing from our host (twice), and the nastyness of the tk domains theoacon.tk should work

Panic · « **on:** February 19, 2010, 23:09:19 PM »

rofl it was me at forkis pc, forgot about account

RMF · « **on:** February 22, 2010, 21:45:02 PM »

but ehm what do you think about the tool itself?

Panic · « **on:** February 23, 2010, 18:39:48 PM »

dunno, dont have windows

S.Creamer · « **on:** February 23, 2010, 20:32:02 PM »

It sounds like a very handy tool RMF. But same here, linux user

Koma · « **on:** February 24, 2010, 20:13:26 PM »

For Linux there's a better tool i think

<OA_ServerConnect>
It's a small KDE app that loads the servers from dpmaster. U can filter them by playername, mapname, etc., hide empty servers or bot players, and connect with one click too.

- Dependencies: Install xdotool.
- OA should be in your path, or u put the tool in the OA-folder.
- One bug: Please don't use the filter before the servers are loaded - sometimes the tool crashes then.

I use it since 6 months as the only way to start OA

Anybody here, who'd like to develop it further? It's a qtCreator-project, so u can compile it for Windows and Mac too...

RMF · « **on:** March 19, 2010, 13:36:45 PM »

I can't open the file.. It says that it's some stream thing and my virusscanner immediadly starts to scream too at the temporary file

Panic · « **on:** March 19, 2010, 16:23:21 PM »

hum its a linux binary?

RMF · « **on:** March 19, 2010, 16:32:37 PM »

lol ok i'll fire up my ubuntu

RIGHT!

And I forgot: U must make it executable after downloading.
And if u dont have KDE, u will need some additional libraries too i think (not tested)
Its very sure no streaming thing or virus in it - I can give the sources if anybody thinks so

@Panic: Have u tried it? Will be work fine in Sidux i think

Panic · « **on:** March 19, 2010, 16:46:25 PM »

it needs extra packages but did not find the right packages yet, sometimes the debian.org packagesearch isn't very useful

Try libqt4-webkit

Tested now with Ubuntu Netbook Remix - works fine

Koma · « **on:** March 19, 2010, 18:41:29 PM »

Now tested on Sidux (XFCE) with live-CD:

su
apt-get update
apt-get install xdotool
apt-get install libqt4-webkit
apt-get install openarena
exit
./OA_ServerConnect

works!

For Ubuntu based Distribitions:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xdotool
sudo apt-get install libqt4-webkit
sudo apt-get install openarena
./OA_ServerConnect

works!

No, not really. Thats exactly the error u get, if u dont have the libqt4-webkit package...
Pls try again:

sudo apt-get install libqt4-webkit

and post the last few lines from the output here...
Is it Ubuntu?

Koma · « **on:** March 21, 2010, 04:01:31 AM »

Because of the massive interest here i decided to spend a few more time for this project^^
So there is a new version 0.5 with more features, less problems and some screenshots:
New Thread for this:
<http://www.evilarena.de/openarena/oa_serverconnect-v0-5/>
Hope to see u there

That's the funny part. It is and was installed.

S.Creamer · « **on:** March 21, 2010, 14:07:49 PM »

Could it be that the OA-serverconnect is a 32bit binary only, i use a 64 bits ubuntu?

Panic · « **on:** March 21, 2010, 14:08:32 PM »

hm you need to compile it yourself then

Koma · « **on:** March 21, 2010, 23:38:02 PM »

Right, 64bit is the reason. Hmm, i cant believe thats impossible to compile a 64bit app on a 32bit os.
But it seems Panic is right...

Look in the new thread for the sources, open them with qtCreator and press the green Button.
Now u have a 64bit binary in the sources folder

S.Creamer · « **on:** March 21, 2010, 23:49:41 PM »

LOLZ Koma & Panic: I haven't the smallest clue where you're talking about!

Compile, new thread, sources, qtcreator, yourself!!! Consider me as a recreational gamer who happens to run linux, but the os is just a thing where I can play games from. I'm pretty damn far from really understanding it!

I will run the game the normal way. But thanks a lot for the replies, appreciate it.

Koma · « **on:** March 22, 2010, 00:03:03 AM »

lol, np

- qtCreator is a program to develop software.
- The "source" is the software, but only readable for humans.
- Compile means to make the software readable for computers, so u can start them.
- A thread is a topic in forums like this, i mean this thread: http://www.evilarena.de/openarena/oa_serverconnect-v0-5/

Panic · « **on:** March 22, 2010, 14:33:13 PM »

you will need qtcreator, qt4-dev-tools, qt4-qmake, libqt4-dev, qt4-doc, qt4-designer and gcc to compile it, but at windows you have to install and choose mingw i think.
