How to post images in game.

AO is the main topic, but you can also talk about things like the latest console game you've played, web comics, movies, music, etc. as they pertain to your AO experience.

How to post images in game.

Post by Corpsefun » Sat Aug 25, 2007 5:01 pm

If there's anyone that knows how to post images (icons of items) in game could you please explain it in for me, because i've tried for like a day and can't figure it out. Even with the info here on AO Universe i couldn't figure it out.

Assuming you mean in a reference window? If so, check this link http://www.ao-universe.com/main.php?sit ... ction=info

If not, please post again :)

1) Find the image you want on Auno.org. (Example: I'm going to find a Premium Ultra-Light Missile Pistol Raid 9-X. I put it into Auno's search engine and come up with this)
2) Right click the icon that appears and look at the properties. You should see something like this: http://auno.org/res/aoicons/13315.gif. See the number? That's the reference number that you need.
3) Create a new script. This is as easy as creating a new text document in the \Anarchy Online\scripts directory. In this case, I called it test.txt.
4) Insert the text into the script <img src='rdb://13315'>, where the number is the resource number of the photo you want.
5) Run the script ingame by typing /test.txt or whatever you named your script.

For my example script:

Code: Select all

<a href="text://Hello <img src='rdb://13315'>">Picture Test</a>

Hrrrm, that wasn't exactly what i was after. I remember once during a lag spike, someone posted 3 pictures of T shirts with letters on them spelling the word "lag" in Clan OOC and you didn't have to click anything, the pictures were just there.

According to Vhab, it's an exploit, and it shouldn't be in the game. *shrugs* I honestly have no idea how to do it, but I'd be the last person to tell you something that you could potentially get petitioned for.

I'd just like to mention, be very careful when you test complicated scripts...

I'm fairly positive that my engineers tradeskill script crashed the OA server twice before I realised... :lol:

Don't tell FC... :roll:
