BattleField .exe parameter for quick connect?

[[AK]Nuts]

Is there a parameter for the bf executable that will connect directly to an IP address? In other words, I want the icon for BF to point towards the executable and then pass the IP directly into the .exe that way I bypass the whole game startup and avoid having to select. "Multiplay", "Internet", etc... I know how to pass specific games via a parameter but not an IP addy.

Thanks,

I just use All-Seeing Eye with the August Knights server marked as a favorite. (All-Seeing Eye is a shareware ad-free equivalent to GameSpy.)

+restart 1

Here's my startup line:

"C:\Program Files\Games\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game XPack2 +restart 1

i think what he wants to know is what command line parameters does ase send to the executible to make it go straight to the connect screen. i love ase. i can save a server's password and never ever need to remember it; it sends the password to the command line for me.

here's what i found in ase's filters.txt file. i'm sure you know how to make that work with the command line.

JoinTemplate: {EXEPATH}[ +game {Game Id}] +restart 1 +joinServer {address} +isInternet 1[ +playerName "{NAME}"][ +password {PASSWORD}]

edit: tossed in the mod command line. without it, bf1942 will attempt connection to a mod server, load the mod design, then reconnect. save some computer cycles; use the command line!

Okay, I admit it. You've out-command-lined me.

I'm now suffering from command-line envy...



P.S. That command line works great! Could someone please post this as a sticky?
