|
|
Ever wanted to go from Ville server to Ville server in a matter of seconds? Say you're on TV1 and you want to go to TV5. The only thing you have to do is bring down your console and type:
connect tv5.theville.org
That's it! All of the servers have DNS names so it makes it very simple going from server to server.
Server names:
tv1.theville.org
tv2.theville.org
tv3.theville.org
tv5.theville.org
tv6.theville.org
theprivateserver.theville.org _________________

Sounds like a few bound keys and with a stroke you will be there!
Thanks Rob |

Make sure when you connect to TV5 it's tv5.theville.org:27016 or else it will go to some random hl server, and for me atlest, crash tfc. I've used those shortcuts since I can remember. Thanks Rob. |

Yes Bobins you can, except for the f1 and f2 keys. Don't even try those 2 but the rest are OK. _________________

You can bind F1 and F2... Rename the demoeditor.dll and gameui.dll files in your valve/cd_dlls folder to something like .bak, and you can bind the keys. You lose the functions the keys originally had, but they are pretty useless. |

Rob, can you point me in the right direction to create GUI links to all the ville servers in my SHIFT menu? I know I've seen this done in the past, but I cant remember what files I need to alter. _________________

Open command menu.txt and add
Code: |
"8" "Servers"
{
"1" "TV1" "connect tv1.theville.org"
"2" "TV2" "connect tv1.theville.org"
"3" "TV3" "connect tv1.theville.org"
"5" "TV5" "connect tv1.theville.org:27016"
"6" "TV6" "connect tv1.theville.org"
"7" "The Private Server" "connect theprivateserver.theville.org;password accelerated"
}
|
It works for me, except for the private server, because I don't know how to spell accelerated, or I just have the wrong pass ![](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) |
