Here’s how you can setup a shortcut directly to Freeciv server.<\/p>\n

I’m currently playing three different Freeciv worlds and one of them with two different accounts (until one player comes back from a holiday trip). I thought this might be\u00a0worth mentioning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Windows 7<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Select Start menu, find Freeciv, and select from the right button drop down menu Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Now your desktop should have an icon named Freeciv. Rename it to “Freeciv LT30<\/em>” if you’re playing LT30. Select again the right dropdown menu and open Properties<\/em>. From there add to end of the Target<\/em> option following text: “ -a -n username<\/strong> -p 5030 -s lt30.longturn.org<\/em>“. Of course you should change username to match your username.\u00a0Properties<\/em> dialog should look like in the example image.<\/p>\n

Now you should have a shortcut named Freeciv LT30<\/em> on your desktop which you can click to instantly connect to LT30 server. No need to remember server settings.<\/p>\n

Linux<\/h3>\n

Linux systems use different types of shortcut systems. Basically you just need to copy your current shortcut and change it to use arguments “ -a -n username<\/strong> -p 5030 -s lt30.longturn.org<\/em>” just like in Windows 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
