05.07.07 A Hive of Activity [S]Zogger!
Okay that's bees but it doesn't matter. There's been a relative multitude of news posts lately, and you may or may not have noticed in the files section I added a link on half of the files that says W:AsP.

This is a protocol that came into being yesterday while I was downloading worms related files (having installed worms again) and finding it takes too long to find the right directory again after downloading something else, sort of like it takes me too long to get to the point.

Basically this is an app, inspired by TMUP to make it easier to quickly download files. You just click on the link and it puts the file in the right directory, instead of downloading it through your browser and selecting it every time. Because it's a protocol, it could be applied to other sites such as WMDB. If you have firefox they wouldn't even have to implement it - Greasemonkey could do the work. And because it's a protocol, anyone could write a client to download the files.

I've got the basic client working well enough to see if it works on anyone else's computer, so if anyone would like to try it out I've uploaded it. The (not very well commented) source is included.

Bear in mind that it's a day old so it may not work on your computer. That's why I'd appreciate it if you gave it a go to see if it works.

It requires the .net framework. Which version it needs I'm not sure. It is designed for W:A, but it will probably work to an extent with WWP, for maps, graves flags etc. Read the readme novel if you want to try it with WWP (or if you want to try it at-all).


Once installed Try this link to test it. It's just a random screenshot claiming to be a map, but meh.

Edit: here is a greasemonkey script that converts links on WMDB into W:AsP links
Update: here's one for The Challenge Base.

To use the TCB script you will need version 0.12 of W:AsP. I've updated the links in this post to the new version.

Note that if you use opera you can also install these greasemonkey scripts. Download them to a folder, then go to tools->preferences->advanced->javascript options...->and choose the folder at the bottom.

...This news post is getting long enough to need a website

:)

Download W:AsP in case you missed the link above
