Default Drums UI - Quest Helper window

is there anyway to use normal PC web browser via clicky eq2wiki/zam button on quest helper window instead of outdated chrome inside eq2?

hopefully search function in tact and extension to other windows like examine woulda be nice too

is it too much or impossible to implement?

I think there is a browser/url external slash command, but I don't remember it off hand. It may be possible if that still works. The downside was always folks using full-screen mode. However, it could probably be made an option if I did put it in.

I think the reason I never originally went down that route, was because you have to supply a direct file location to launch a browser. So it would require users to edit it, or possibly have me implement the text-saving feature.

I *think* this is the command:
/shell_open <file>

Basically, for example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

But I don't know if this slash command passes arguments too, ie:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -new-tab http://google.com

You could give it a try by pasting it in-game chat and trying it out (you'll have to edit for your filepath as needed)

/shell_open "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -new-tab http://google.com"

Experiment with the quotes being there or not. If you use chrome, just look up the command line arguments for it online.

/shell_open "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" worked.

however it didnt work with argument -new-tab http://google.com"

manual typing, it didnt take : (double comma?), when typed double comma, it reverts back to
/shell_open "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox//google.com"

probably due to double comma being emote command in eq2, saw command key option but didnt see emote command key option to change or disable.

without quotation marks ", it behaved similar.


well, it seems it wont work with just a clicky.

otherwise, is it possible to simply copy title of quest to paste later on after having open i.e. eq2zam or eq2wikia?

well i use firefox mainly but i can use IE11 for eq2zam being default startpage.

so if i could simply copy title of quest from additional clicky then use ctrl-V on quest search on top of having open IE11 from this same clicky, i can mimic function.

sorry english isnt my primary language
