Gamelauncher hack for linux/firefox Options

[BeaTtheMeaT666]

Hi,

after browsing your serverlist I thought I might be handy to have something for linux people to launch ET from firefox. That's what I did (nothing fancy, but cheap):

I might have a little problem here

made the script.. changed the location of my ET directory (tested this thing and it does launch ET for me)
made the changes to firefox and that too seems to do something..

now when I click the et links from splatterladder firefox gives me a selection box of what app to run.. made sense to me since it has an option for remember my decision
it even shows the etlaunch.sh in that dialog

all of that seemed to work properly and made me very happy.. I closed some apps and hit the OK button with remember my decision and etlaunch.sh marked
and now it doesn't do shit..

sooo.. suggestions please :)
running Ubuntu 8.04 in 64 bit mode which seems to have firefox3


**EDIT**
yay fixed it.. dunno how but it works now =D

Hi Nizzle, I have the same setup, Ubuntu like the first line to be bash. !/bin/sh also works but just for completeness... If you don't have either as the first line it will fail as you describe.

To get mine to work I also had to change the network.protocol-handler.app.et setting to (ignore quotes) "sh etlaunch.sh"

And the path on my Ubuntu only needed to be et

However the physical path in Ubuntu is usually /usr/local/games/enemy-territory
===================
#!/bin/bash

#
# etlaunch.sh launches ET from splatterladder.com
#

ET="et"
SERVER=`echo ${1} | cut -d "/" -f 3`

${ET} +connect ${SERVER}
