I discovered that VXA "un expects" ')' and I thought "Hey, why not correct errors by myself?" It worked.
Hope isn't illegal to submit the corrected version  :P

It's fine to post it, but I am afraid I fail to see any difference aside from your name in the header. As well, there is no error when I test the posted version, so I don't really know what you've purported to fix.

I ran the 2 code blocks thru Winmerge... and it reports that the additional credit line on 5 and line 45:
Code: [Select]
["Website", 2, "http://rmrk.net"]

Naughty naughty trying to claim partial credits on something he didn't help with. :/

On topic, I did notice that on my friends computer ( Win 7 home premium ) with certain UAC configurations
it may require the game be ran as an admin to send commands to the browser. Otherwise, on normal default
UAC setting this script works perfectly fine. Good job once again. :)

I really really want to know... How to call this command in game as a script inside an event?
Just so I can trigger the webbrowser opening in game.

To be more specific: what should I copy and paste into... Edit event
                                                                               command @> Scripts:
In order for to call for the web browser to open automatically when triggered in game.

Code: [Select]
site = "http://rmrk.net"
Thread.new { system("start #{site}") }

Just change the site = line and replace the part within the quotation marks with the URL of your website. If the URL is long and requires more than one line in the command box, then it would probably be safest to split it up and do something like this:

Code: [Select]
site = "http://rm"
site += "rk.net"
Thread.new { system("start #{site}") }
