Multiple Personality Simming Assist

Started by Mreh K'hal,

Posted · Report post

Okay, anyone that sims with me on my different sims knows I have a lot of NPCs, some with their own logins. Now that Firefox and java are getting along on my computer again, I can have two (or more) different chat instances open now so that each one can be up in the room without me having to resort to the "NPCName>" in my main character's window. However, there's no easy way to tell the difference between each window, and character confusion can result, whether you float the window or leave it embedded on the page.

 

So, I've whipped up a little html so that I can have the chatroom up, 100% size in my browser window, with my character name in the tab's titlebar. I just saved these individual html files on a folder on my computer and then bookmarked them in the browser for easy access, so now I can see my character name in the tab bar of my browser. Because I'm a geek I even copied my avatars to the folder and used them for favicons, lol.

 

If anyone wants to do this themselves, here's the code:

<html>
<head>
<title>CHARACTER NAME</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="PICTUREFILENAME"/>
</head>
<body>
<applet
  codebase="http://client1.invisionchat.com/current/"
  code="Client.class" archive="scclient_en.zip"
  width="100%" height="100%" MAYSCRIPT>
  <param name="room" value="55904">
  <param name="cabbase" value="scclient_en.cab">
</applet>
</body>
</html>

 

If you want the favicon to show up, just save it in the same folder as the html files for your characters. Make sure what you put in the href field for the shortcut icon has the full filename, including the extension. I know Firefox can handle most image formats for a favicon, so it doesn't have to be an ico if you use Firefox. I'm not sure about other browsers. If you find you need an ico there are free image programs that can do it as well as online services that can do it for free too.

 

Anyway, hope this helps anyone with sim multiple personalities, I know it does me.

I'd just like to know how you got Firefox and Java to jive. I can't seem to get that.

I use Firefox exclusively and I've never had a problem with it jiving with Java. :(
