This is a simple but useful script that allows you quickly open up an AvatarWiki search from the TinTin++ client. (Requires FireFox for now[1])

Code

Put the following into a file in your tintin++ folder and use #read <filename> while in tintin to load them up. Though you probably want this to autoload with your character.

#alias wiki {#system {firefox "http://avatar.melanarchy.info/index.php/Special:Search?search=%0&go=Go"}}

Usage

  • Just type: wiki <search string>
  • It'll go directly to whatever page you search for, or if it can't find a direct match, it'll show you similar results. Just like searching from here!

OS X

OS X users can use a more general alias to open the wiki link in their default browser:

#alias wiki {#system {open "http://avatar.melanarchy.info/index.php/Special:Search?search=%0&go=Go"}}
