{ Readme for BF2_Connector

What is BF2_Connector?
It acts like a simpel wrapper for joining BF2 via ASE, to somewhat speed up the tedious process of having to write down the IP-adress manually and then entering it in BF2. (Not supporting 'paste IP' in the year 2005 should be enough to get someone fired.)
How do I set it up?
Step-by-step guide:
1. Extract all files to a dir of your choice.
2. Open ASE and go to: Tools -> Options -> Tab 'Games'
3. Under 'Program location' you press 'Browse' and point it to the BF2_Connector.exe
4. Open BF2_Connector.ini in notepad.
5. Exchange 'PUTH_PATH_TO_YOUR_EXEFILE_HERE' with your full path to BF2. Make sure the row now reads, depending on your path, BF2.ExePath=F:\BattleField2\bf2.exe or similare.
6. Now you are ready to try to join a server. Take a break or move on to 7.
- If you want to play now -
7. Search down a server in ASE. For now, make sure it has the defualt BF2-port (16567).
8. Right click, 'Connect as Player'.
9. Now the wrapper should start, set everything up, and launch BF2.
10. In the 'Join game'-screen, under 'IP', type 'BF2'. Happy fragging.
- For advanced users -
11. You might wanna remove this row from filters.txt:
'JoinMsg: You can not join a server from ASE.'
Can be found 5 rows under 'Battlefield 2'.
Now you wont get the nag-window everytime you want to join a server.
What if it doesn't work?
Read the error-message being displayed. It will always tell you exactly what is wrong.
FAQ
Q: Why does it only support the default-port?
A: Technically since BF2 pads any connect-request without a set port with the defualt-port. If you want to join a server with another port-number, just enter it in the 'port'-field in BF2, like you would normally.
