Hello,

to display external urls for clients within the ingame browser you have to execute the following code:

public OnPluginStart() 
{
	RegServerCmd("my_browse", my_browse);
}


public Action:my_browse(args)
{
	if (args < 2) {
		PrintToServer("Usage: my_browse <userid><url> - open client ingame browser");
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}

	decl String:client_id[32];
	GetCmdArg(1, client_id, 32);

	new String:client_url[192];
	decl String:argument_string[512];
	GetCmdArgString(argument_string, 512);
	new find_pos = StrContains(argument_string, "http://", true);
	if (find_pos == -1) {
		new argument_count = GetCmdArgs();
		for(new i = 1; i < argument_count; i++) {
			decl String:temp_argument[192];
			GetCmdArg(i+1, temp_argument, 192);
			if ((192 - strlen(client_url)) > strlen(temp_argument)) {
				strcopy(client_url[strlen(client_url)], 192, temp_argument);
			}
		}
	} else {
		strcopy(client_url, 192, argument_string[find_pos]);
	}

	new client = StringToInt(client_id);
	if (client > 0) {
		new player_index = GetClientOfUserId(client);
		if ((player_index > 0) && (!IsFakeClient(player_index)) && (IsClientConnected(player_index))) {
			decl Handle:hBf;
			hBf = StartMessageOne("VGUIMenu", player_index);
			if (hBf != INVALID_HANDLE) {
				BfWriteString(hBf, "info");
				BfWriteByte(hBf,   1);
				BfWriteByte(hBf,   3);
				BfWriteString(hBf, "title");
				BfWriteString(hBf, "MyTitle");
				BfWriteString(hBf, "type");
				BfWriteString(hBf, "2");
				BfWriteString(hBf, "msg");
				BfWriteString(hBf, client_url);
				BfWriteString(hBf, "cmd");
				BfWriteString(hBf, "");
				EndMessage();
			}
		}	
	}		
			
	return Plugin_Handled;
}

This could be maybe useful for anyone.

Bye

Just an FYI on this one: The message can't exceed 255 bytes (including ~1-3 bytes for the header). I ran into this trying to send a long URL. Unlike HL1, you can't break up the message.

EDIT: I didn't mean the above code doesn't work, just that looking for the same HL1 functionality won't work.

Hello,

the client url is limited to 192 characters. The code above should work without any problems.

Bye

I didn't realize a MOTD window could already be made... nice.
