How do you link to a server on a web page?
Thanks.

so lets say I have a video game, and on my website I want a link to open DS. I could use:
http://www.byond.com/script/dms.cgi?url=byond:// airjoe.kicks-ass.org:1212 assuming my computer was on and I was hosting on port 1212 | |
byond://Hazman.Worlds (Don't click the link, I'm just showing you what the URL looks like!)
The forum is programmed to turn byond:// links into links that will launch Dream Seeker. On a webpage, all you have to do is copy that behavior. For example, the above byond:// link has been pointed to:
http://www.byond.com/script/dms.cgi?url=byond:// Hazman.Worlds
...which is a normal http:// URL that you can use in websites. You could also specify an address and port instead of a hub entry:
http://www.byond.com/script/dms.cgi?url=byond://1.2.3.4:2000
or
http://www.byond.com/script/dms.cgi?url=byond:// somewhere.dyndns.org:3001
