[Guide] Fast connect to your favourite server

[toshkabg]

Hello.

 

If you have a favourite server and you don't like to search it in your list or typing the IP.. This guide is for you!!

 

So.. I'm gonna show you how to add a shortcut to a server in your CS Menu.

 

Here we go:

 

1. Got to ex: "C:\program files\valve\cstrike\resource\" and open the file GameMenu.res (with notepad)

2. Originaly it must something like this:

"GameMenu"
{
"1"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_ResumeGame"
	"command" "ResumeGame"
	"OnlyInGame" "1"
}
"2"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_Disconnect"
	"command" "Disconnect"
	"OnlyInGame" "1"
	"notsingle" "1"
}
"4"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_PlayerList"
	"command" "OpenPlayerListDialog"
	"OnlyInGame" "1"
	"notsingle" "1"
}
"8"
{
	"label" ""
	"command" ""
	"OnlyInGame" "1"
}
"9"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_NewGame"
	"command" "OpenCreateMultiplayerGameDialog"
}
"10"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_FindServers"
	"command" "OpenServerBrowser"
}
"11"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_ChangeGame"
	"command" "OpenChangeGameDialog"
	"notsteam" "1"
	"notsingle" "1"
	"notmulti" "1"
}
"12"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_Options"
	"command" "OpenOptionsDialog"
}
"13"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_Quit"
	"command" "Quit"
}
}

 

3. Delete everything there and paste this:

"GameMenu"
{
"1"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_ResumeGame"
	"command" "ResumeGame"
	"OnlyInGame" "1"
}
"2"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_Disconnect"
	"command" "Disconnect"
	"OnlyInGame" "1"
	"notsingle" "1"
}
"4"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_PlayerList"
	"command" "OpenPlayerListDialog"
	"OnlyInGame" "1"
	"notsingle" "1"
}
"8"
{
	"label" ""
	"command" ""
	"OnlyInGame" "1"
}
"9"
{
	"label" "Connect to My Server"
	"command" "engine connect XX.XX.XX.XX:27015"	
}
"10"
{
	"label" ""
	"command" ""
}
"11"
{
	"label" ""
	"command" ""
}
"12"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_NewGame"
	"command" "OpenCreateMultiplayerGameDialog"
}
"13"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_FindServers"
	"command" "OpenServerBrowser"
}
"14"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_ChangeGame"
	"command" "OpenChangeGameDialog"
	"notsteam" "1"
	"notsingle" "1"
	"notmulti" "1"
}
"15"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_Options"
	"command" "OpenOptionsDialog"
}
"16"
{
	"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_Quit"
	"command" "Quit"
}
}

4. Find and edit everything with Red colour.

 

"9"

{

"label" "Connect to My server"

"command" "engine connect XX.XX.XX.XX:27016"

}

==================================================

Note:

My Server - Name of the server

XX.XX.XX.XX:27015 - IP of the server

==================================================

5. Run the game and it should look something like this

I knew that and it's really helpful.I have many of those shortcuts :)

There's also a way to run programs with CS.

 

But, good one, it's really important to have it here!
