Using images in status window?
|
Is it possible? I haven't been able to find any documentation that says it is but I've seen some screenshots where it looks like it was done.

I think you would need to use the MXP image tag for that

Hrm, what tag would that be? I *tried* HTML which I thought might work but it didn't.

Hrm, that doesn't seem to be working?
I've tried both
| Code: |
| <IMAGE url="http://fewyn.net/dw/guildlevel.gif"></IMAGE> |
and
| Code: |
| <IMAGE FName="C:\Users\fewyn\Documents\My Games\CMUD\Discworld\guildlevel.gif"></IMAGE> |
They both don't seem to work, maybe I'm missing something? |

If it is in your session folder, you should be able to do simply:
| Code: |
| <IMAGE guildlevel.gif> |

Sadly should doesn't do anything, all it does it show nothing when I try to echo it.
| Code: |
| #ECHO {<IMAGE guildlevel.gif>} |
Just shows up blank, I must really be missing something. |

<IMAGE> might be a secure command. In fact, since it can access files, it almost certainly is. You cannot execute secure commands on the command line with #ECHO or #SHOW. Try using #MXP instead of #ECHO.

I'm almost positive you can't do images in status windows, but you can in child windows.

Hrm, how would I go about creating a status window like that then? The #MXP version of it worked for images though. |

You'd just create a new window using the #WIN command. I was using child windows for my weather script (it would show a gif of the current conditions in my city along with relevant information). The images came through quite nicely.
However, if you did get #MXP to show up in an actual status window, mind showing a screenshot of it? I'm quite curious, since nothing I've done has allowed for an image in the actual status window. |

Images show up fine in the status window for me. Make sure you have 'Allow MXP in Status Window' checked in Prefs -> MXP -> MXP/HTML Options.

I do have that option checked though? I've tried both #MXP {<IMAGE guildlevel.gif>} and just <IMAGE guildlevel.gif> and neither work. |
