Direct shortcut to server; How to create desktop shortcut to VOGON

Ok just thought I would post this info in case someone wants it: :blink:

To create a shortcut that takes you directly to your favorite server just do this:

"Right Click" on you existing Q3 shortcut or create a new one
and choose "properties" from the drop down menu list. and
Add the folowing text to the "Target" line :

+connect q3.vogonhq.com:27960

if done correctly it should read something link this: :ph43r:

"C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +connect q3.vogonhq.com:27960

For other Vogon servers just change the port number at the end as follows:

VogonHQ ANARCHY-----FFA.... = 27960
VogonHQ CHAOS-------CTF.... = 27961
VogonHQ INSTAKILL----RAIL... = 27962

You can create direct links like this to any q3 server you want to
just replace the: "q3.vogonhq.com" with the IP address of the server of your choice
(and of course make sure the port is correct also) ;)

Hope someone finds this Info helpfull. I know i sure did when i learned about it
I havent used the multiplayer list since then...... :D

Thankyou all, for suggesting how to get to a Q3 server.
If any of it seems a tad to confusing, I may have the answer.

Create a text document on your desktop. Name it whatever.
In there, type these;

/connect 64.34.166.35:27960 - Anarchy

/connect 64.34.166.35:27961 - CTF

/connect 64.34.166.35:27962 - InstaGib

Do this for each server you want to go to.
You'll find this info after you've connected to the specified server.
Copy your selection, then start Q3, drop the console, paste the
IP in, and your connected.

I hope this helps
