Alpha release: download
It’s painfully difficult to add custom servers to Battlefield Bad Company 2. There’s no support for directly connecting via IP, and the server browser has a tendency to fail. Fortunately, the server strings for favourites and history are saved in a easily-parsed plaintext ini file, so it’s possible to hack in new servers to your favourites.
I’ve written this program to help make that process a little easier. It registers the bfbc2:// URI protocol, and when you click on a properly formatted link, it’ll automatically add that server to your favourites. Hopefully this will make sharing servers a bit easier on everyone.
The current release is alpha! Use at your own risk! It has nothing fancy like installers or icons! Read the readme in the archive for more information. I’m sure even this minimal program has a handful of bugs. Let me know what they are so I can fix them. I expect to see my regex reject a few server strings that are actually legit.
.NET 2.0 is a minimum requirement. If you don’t have that, you might as well get .NET 3.5 SP1 while you’re at it.
