Now Launching Border Down...

Have you actually gotten this to work? I tried the auto launch tag, and haven't gotten it to work. I tested it first by hosting an autoluanch page on my site. It just keeps refreshing the page...
I thought maybe it would work on the disc anyway, so I gave it a shot. I made an autolaunch page with a 3 second delay and a "presented by Sega" graphic on black background using a custom XDP with black URL bar and no title in the header to make it look nice. It does nothing.
When making XDP, I used a refresh tag on the midi-surfer to cycle midis while you surf the internet. I noticed that I needed to be connected to the internet, for some reason, for it to refresh properly.
Either I'm missing something, or the autolaunch page using a refresh tag doesn't work right with DP.

If you want to see my hosted refresh page, you can test it here...

it seems to work fine on a PC browser.

I just realized something... I put the refresh tag in the header. This may be the cause for it not working right in DP. I'll try not using a header when I get home.
Here's a test launch page without the header:
http://www.psilocybindreams.com/launch.html

Well, it doesn't seem to work either way... hmmm

did you try with javascript?

Code:

<script>

sec = 0;

function autoLaunch(delay) {

if (sec == delay)

   location = "x-avefront://---.dream/proc/launch/1";

else

   sec ++;

chrono=setTimeout("autoLaunch("+delay+")",1000);

}

</script>

<body onload=autoLaunch(3)>

i didnt test it but it should work

Ok, that script is hosted for test here:

http://www.psilocybindreams.com/launch.html

I won't be able to test it till this evening, but if anyone else wants to try it and post here, you're welcome.

Thanks speud.

btw what do you intend to do with that? do you want psd/xdp users to connect to your site so it can launch one of the app on the cd?
if so that would be a really bad idea to me, against all the previous statements claiming psd/xdp was done for people who couldnt connect a lot, so they could access everything they needed in local files.
anyway why not just to put a link to the x-ave command if it still doesnt work?

nah, I already said what I was doing with it... booting Borderdown with a more attractive method.

Although, I have considered putting an easter egg or so into PSDv2 with my site.

I just posted about Border Down in another thread.
