Default Re: FEATURE REQUEST: "Recent Servers"

Its fairly easy to create a desktop shortcut for each game (or server), I just learned how myself. Since I wouldn't be good at explaining it, I dug up this:

To create a button for going directly to the game.....

Right-click your Dom2 shortcut on your desktop
choose copy

right-click a blank spot on your desktop
choose paste

right-click the new shortcut
choose properties

Change the "target" line to be
"C:\Program Files\dominions2\dom2.exe" -waif --tcpclient --ipadr 209.157.135.121 --port 10000

Change the icon to something else. Change the title of the icon to something like Dom2GAME if you wish

read the doc file for "Command Line Switches" and see what other things could be put there instead of w a i f (windowed, no animated backgrounds, no intro, no fades) such as maybe adding m for no music and x for fast graphics. It will only be for this game and will not affect your default settings when you use your original icon to play your other games. My button now has -mwaifx
You will of course need to change the IP addr and port as appropriate.
