Join Moongamers alot?
Tired of clicking BattleField shortcut, watching movies and adds, choosing player (optional), selecting multiplayer, selecting internet, choosing favorites, choosing moon server and clicking Join?
How about 1 double click and you are in your favorite server.
This can be done using command-line switches.
SETUP
Right-click a shortcut to Battlefield and click copy.
Right-click an empty space on your desktop and click paste.
Right-click your new BF shortcut copy and choose re-name.
Re-name copy of shortcut to the server you want it to join.
Eg Moon TDM or Moongamers CQ
Right-click your new server shortcut and choose properties.
In the Target: section, it should read "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe"
You need to now add your command-line switches, these are
+restart 1 (skips movies and adds) optional
+joinServer IP:PORT (adds the direct link) case sensitive
Your new taget line should read (for MoonGamers TDM)
"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +restart 1 +joinServer 64.34.179.229:14567
Your new taget line should read (for MoonGamers CQ)
"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +restart 1 +joinServer 64.34.180.19:14567
Adding DC Final
The command line switch for Mods is +game
Your new taget line should read (for MoonGamers DC)
"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game DC_Final +restart 1 +joinServer 64.34.183.27:14567
Check if the path is the same before you can copy the entire line and paste it into the Target: field of your new moon-server shortcut.
64bit operating systems will have a different named path. The end after the quotes will be the same. Make sure to ensure the spacing is correct for all Operating Systems. The most important part to be able to join quickly is " +restart 1 +joinServer xx.xx.xxx.xx:14567" Place this with no quotes at the end of your target. IP will need to reflect the server you wish to join. The game will change mods if needed so the mod change step is not really needed.
Double-click your new moon-server shortcut and you will load directly to the server.
You can make as many new shortcuts as you like, all you need is the IP and Port numbers.
Good luck and happy hunting.

You can now just launch any server from a url.
1. download the file below and extract the 'start_bf1942.vbs' file to your Battlefield 1942 install directory (where the bf1942.exe is)
http://www.is82.com/...tart_bf1942.rar
3. Run the .vbs file once. You should get "Installation successful."
4. You can now connect to bf42 servers directly from your browser by clicking a link to a URL with the following pattern:
bf1942://ip:port/modname
so to join the moongamers server bf1942://64.34.179.229:14567
if you use google chrome, copying and pasting the url into the adress bar will just google it, and wont work. So use windows explorer or another internet browser

would it be different if it were an image you would click on to connect?, like your signature?

Not sure never tired it that way. I will have to look into it unless someone else does it first. Got a few things going on here at home right now and takes me away for periods of time.

The hyperlinks are still on all the I.P.s for direct connect.. the web page will try to direct connect and fail... unless you have ran an additional program first..
I can actually use this page to direct connect.
Anyways, another snap shot of the servers for anyone needing an I.P, address.
Edit , added text for copy and paste desktop shortcuts , thinned list. Instructions.

The thing about old instructions is that the server has moved and the address has changed.

The .bik FMV files you can simply rename whatever to bypass em
Also with Simple's BF1942.exe it redirects to the new master plus all your resolutions will be selectable inmenu! No more hit-or-miss .con edits!
