A Box For A WWW Address In The Multiplayer Room

Post by Merowingg »

Hello Gentlemen :)

Let me explain as it was extremely difficult to place the idea in a short sentence in the topic :lecture:

I thought that it would be nice to have "a box" a place in the multiplayer room when we can input/paste a www address. It can be for example the address of help section on our website or the link to research tree or to any topic on the forum we want to share.

In this way a person, the host, can share what he wants with the people who enters the room, they just click on it and the web browser opens the particular page we have chosed to be opened when clicked on the link.

There could be two boxes one for title, for example "2.3.9 is out check it out!" and in the second the address.

The most important thing is that it would allow to input Warzone2100 web page addresses only, so no let me say "stupid" person will input address to any let me say inapropriate in any kind or no relation to the topic thing.

I think in that way the page could be advertised nicely and also the hosts/players can share things they want others to learn about. I have noticed that some people surprisingly are not aware of our IRC channel and even about the forum..

I wonder what do you think about this idea.

Bye :)

Many people I have met in multiplayer had no idea about the forum or sometimes even the site. They very rarely know about IRC channel too.. Maybe at least link or bar in game lobby that would connec directly to our website? And maybe a news box? Like Warzone 4.0 coming soon!!! Or thing like that? And maybe only forum links allowed? I am sorry if all of it is he'll to be done I only bring ideas..

Kind of latest news could be good idea.
Also there is already site address in main screen ("Visit our site...").
