Shortcut Icons to each Avlis Server

Post by gchristen » Thu Nov 18, 2004 12:00 am

What is the path that I would put into a shortcut so that it launches NWN and connects to the avlis server of my choice. I think id like to make 6 separate icons.

But, I cant seem to remember the syntax to get the shortcuts im creating to work - can someone post it?

The way I do it is to create 6 bat files, 1 for each server, in the main nwn folder.
To create a bat file, open notepad, enter the following and then choose save as. Choose all files and enter the file name as "name.bat" inlcuding the speech marks (") . replace name with the server name.

The text in notepad should be:

nwmain.exe +connect avlis.blackdagger.net:5125 +password PASS
Where PASS is replaced with the password of the server and 5125 in this case is Deglos. Then just create a shortcut to the bat file and put that wherever you want.
Hope this makes sense,
Jay
