Join game server from browser/SC with rightclick

ReBoot · 04-02-2008, 05:28 AM

When having a scheduled event in SC, I noticed that the server address in scheduled events is NOT a link so it has to be copypasted. Same with server addresses which are in a group description: only text.

I've made a little IE plugin which (since Steam runs the IE engine) allows you to select such a server address and connect to it easily via the context menu.

Installation:

Download http://kirillst.funpic.de/dlext/ConSteam.exe
Run it
Reopen Steam community window (no need to restart Steam)
Mark a server address, rightclick and click "Connect to Steam server"

For everyone to know, here's the virus scan:

Won't work on x86-64 (64 Bit) Windows systems, the context menu entry only works for x86 (32 Bit).

Ah, good one. Thanks. I'll give this a try

Update: create an installer which will do everything by itself

Another update: now there's a REAL installer which really does ANYTHING by itself.
