DM Script can be used to effectively make a hyperlink in a web document to a BYOND world. This is done by making a DM Script file that defines the desired URL. It need do nothing more than that. When a user clicks on the link in a web browser, DreamSeeker will pop up, execute the script, and connect to the specified URL.
Some browsers may need to be configured to know what to do with a DM Script file. For example, in Netscape, you can add an entry to the list of helper applications. You should add a MIME type called ‘application/x-dms
’ with the description ‘DM Script’ and the extension dms
. Have this execute DreamSeeker with the .dms
file as an argument.
myworld.dms
/*If your browser shows you this, you either need
to install BYOND (it's free!) from www.byond.com,
or you need to configure your browser to execute
DreamSeeker with DM Script (.dms) files.
