Xfire and PRMM

Post by **Rhino** » 2006-04-28 15:49

Tired of not being able to use the join button on xfire to join strait into a server with your m8s because it takes so long?

Well now I've found a way to solve this problem so that it loads up PRMM as soon as you click on the join button

Do the following:

at the top of xfire, go to Tools>Options
in the Options window go to the "Games" tab at the top
On the left you should see you installed games. Click on BF2.
Now on the right, 1/2 way down you should see a "Advanced Options" button, click it
In the "Extra Command Line Parameters:" Box put in:
Code: Select all
```
+modPath mods/pr
```
so it looks like this:
Now click the "ok" button.

Next time you press the "Join Game" button, you should load up PRMM and then go strait into the server

Hope this helps

EDIT: PS. Can a admin sticky this?

I suppose an admin could Rhino, but so can a moderator. Stickied.

And now I'm gonna do this trick to my Xfire.

Not that I know of, but maybe Rhino can find an option for that too!

Ok so two things that I do.

After the addition that rhino put on here

after the +modPath mods/pr place +fullscreen 1 +playerName yourplayername +playerPassword yourpassword

enter your ingame name and your password in place of the italicized.

should look like this:

+modPath mods/pr +fullscreen 1 +playerName NOOB +playerPassword XXXX

This will allow you to launch into game with your main character without having to go through the activate character screen.

ummm ded, Xfire allready dose the +playerName yourplayername +playerPassword yourpassword with a little box it pops up first time you connect. Unless you mean do this for a icon???

yes this is so you dont have to go through the bf2 activation screen.

your xfire name and password isnt always the same as your ingame name.
