Command Line Args

[cucumberdude]

I assume the way that Badspot does the 'Join server' section of the website is by having some sort of cmd line args that blockland can take, probably specifying a port and such. Does anyone know specifically what these args are, and how I could use them out of the context of the web launcher?

Correct me if this is not the way he does it.

upon further inspection

Code: [Select]

<div class="joinButton">
<a class="joinButton" id="joinButton" onclick="clickJoinButton('blockland://join-74.52.20.186_28100');" href="#"/>
</div>
blockland://join-IP_PORT


probably a browser command like steam:

Yes, it's like FTP:// and HTTP://. Just sends that data to the game and it opens that server ingame.

Code: [Select]

blockland://join-IPCODE_PORT
blockland://join-74.52.20.186_28100 <-- Join's Badspot's Block Party.

sadly that doesn't work on the forums for whatever reason, it redirects to that blockland.com thing

blockland://join-74.52.20.186_28100 <-- Join's Badspot's Block Party.

Lol, I believe the forums are automatically adding http:// to the start thinking I'm giving a trap url. So ya, won't work.

He's looking for the command line args, not the URL.

I'm not sure how the - and _ are handled during the part where it goes from URL -> Command line, but I think just putting join-74.52.20.186_28100 where you'd normally put something like -editor or -trace would work. I'll test this.

Edit: Nope, entire URL in the command line.

Example:
"C:\Blockland\Blockland.exe" blockland://join-74.52.20.186_28100/

chrono, the context of the OP implied he wanted to know how it worked and wanted to know if it was or wasnt command line
