question from an old timer

...Put a new menu into the exit screen?

could an "About" menu be added to the pre-game interface somewhere? That would be a common place for official links.

For Linux, I guess the easiest way is to run a shell script, that then can look for a suitable browser. Macs? No idea. The question is how to integrate a "go to the website" button into Warzone though. Put a new menu into the exit screen?

For macs:

Code: Select all

open "http://forums.wz2100.net/"

in the terminal would do it; I know that there is a way to do that from within a program (it is how scm guis work).

Like a link in the start menu? Would be easy, but only work for Windows. The exit screen has the url, but I don't think we can make any clickable links with SDL.

I do have most of this done already, but it was for trunk & SDL, it was one of those backburner projects.
The base logic should still work, but I never got around to doing the SDL minimizing stuff for full screen people. All it did was to force window mode, then launch the browser.

I'll try to find that in my stash of code.
