Desktop Icons

Post by ljbrown184 » Fri Dec 21, 2007 12:09 am

Does anyone know where I can get the Shortcut Icons for each server?

Thanks

i think they're asking for directions on how to make an icon to connect directly to the servers. i THINK.

I wish i knew the answer.

This sounds like Avlis Sidekick, or ASK, and if it's not, ASK can handle it! Wiki information found here.

There used to be some cool custom icons for people who prefer to have direct batch files on their desktop. Nice custom artwork and they even had the name of the server right on them. I think they were just for the first five servers or so.

Old place to get them was here: portal.php?getpage=promote but they aren't available on the wiki as far as I can tell. Just looked around for these last week and couldn't find them. :cry:


Edit - Please try here - NH4 :wink:

open notepad

nwmain.exe +connect avlis.blackdagger.net:XXXX +password ************

XXXX = preplace with server port number per the sever list

******** = replace for password

save as ?.bat in your NWN folder ('?') is servername or whatever)

Lets not confuse the icons with the batch file. If I understand the original poster, he is looking for the old custom icons to attach to the batch file after it is created. Those are what I'm referring to as well.

Joeyo wished he knew the answer and assumed this was the question. I just answered is all.

Yup, which is the reason I mentioned it as well, as there seemed to be some confusion. :wink:

I'm talking about the old icons pics (the ones with the names of each server and a cool little picture underneath) that used to be somewhere on the avlis website...i tried searching for them but it came up with an error connecting to it...its no big deal really, I was just curious if they were still out there, like the good ol' days.

If I can find them, I will host them on my mirror. I am sure they are on my old PC somewhere. :?


Edit - Found them :lol:

Very nice. But since Visi is too new to have an icon (and no Andrinor icon), I assigned Forian's icon to Visi. I hope Andrinor doesn't mind...

:D
