Double-click to connect to your favourite game server

If you play mostly on one or two servers then this tip will be useful. Most people connect to a game server by starting ET and typing in the console /connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx is the IP and port of the server). There is a much easier way to do this:

  1. Right-click on the ET shortcut on your desktop and click on Proporties
  2. In the target field add in the end of the existing text +connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx is the IP and port of the server). i.e. it should look something like this: "C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ET.exe" +connect 213.200.109.67:27971
  3. Click OK

Now every time you want to connect to your favourite server just double-click on the ET shortcut and voila!

In addition, if you have a private slot on the server add the parameter +set password my_password (where my_password is the private slot password, not rcon or the password you use to lock the server)after or before the +connect
