Method I: without Join2LFS.

Live For Speed has some nice command line options those you can use as well. For example, to make desktop shortcuts for your favorite servers in intetnet. Just launch it and game will run and connect to server you want.


Windows:

1. Create shortcut for LFS.exe and put it anywhere you want.

2. Right click on shortcut -> Properties -> Shortcut tab -> in "Target" line after quotes add: /join=HOST /pass=PASS (where HOST - server name and PASS - password if it needed). The whole line will be look like (if LFS intalled in C:\Program Files\LFS\):
with password option:
Click "Apply" -> "Ok" and run the shortcut.


Ubuntu (the same about password option):

Right click on Desktop -> Create Launcher... -> Choose "Application" -> fill the "Command" line with this line (PATH_TO_LFS is full path to LFS folder):
Click "OK" and run it. Voila!


PS: if server name contains special characters and LFS gives you error "Host not found on master server" (and you sure that name is right) use "^" symbol before special characters. For example: "www.airattack.co.uk #4" will looks like "www.airattack.co.uk ^#4".



Method II: with Join2LFS.


Join2LFS is a good choice because probably you will not have problems with server's names and it saves passwords.


Windows:
Do Join2LFS links work system wide? If somebody test it - I'll update this guide.


Ubuntu:

1. Follow this guide and setup Join2LFS for Firefox browser (actually it's system wide method).

2. Right mouse click on Desktop -> Create Launcher... -> Choose "Location" -> Find your favorite server on LFSWorld.net and copy Join2LFS link () -> Paste your link in "Location" line -> Click "OK" and run it.


All Systems (tested with Firefox):
And of cause you can use Bookmarks of your favorite browser: just find server's Join2LFS link -> right mouse click on it -> Bookmark This Link -> Done!



Thank you for your time

awesome,thanks

great!

PS: if LFS gives you error "Host not found on master server" (and you sure that name is right) you need to get full server name with code symbols. For example: "www.airattack.co.uk #4" (blue text color) with code symbols looks like "^4www.airattack.co.uk ^1#4".

It's not required. I entered a server name with coloured clasically and it connected.

Nice idea!

Well, it required for me in case with "www.airattack.co.uk #4". I think the reason is special symbols like '#".

You didn't get my question

I run a local server through Dedicated host z3
I create a shortcut like the example and i type in host, my local ip
and in pass, my servers password

Then double click shortcut, the lfs running and trying to find the server at Internet session and not at Local (Of course it didn't find my server)

I know that i can connect manual, but i was wondering if i can do it through an edited shortcut like above

super!

There is no way to to this by shortcut mate

There is a command which connect game to local server:
but you can use it only in entry screen of LFS or you can create a script like this:
save it to \data\script folder with name SCRIPT_NAME.lfs and run it in entry screen of LFS:
BAD NEWS: by this way you can't set password to take your admin rights on server. But if you use "Password" entry only for your local server - you will not have any problem.


I have the same English like you

Merry Christmas

Thank you very much my friend lvlo,for trying



Merry Christmas

Somebody make this a sticky!

It's the space that requires the " ... " quotes I believe. [edit: incorrect]
Good find otherwise.

I've tried quotes but LFS gave me error "Invalid parameter".

Hmm sorry, I tried it to, used no quotes and the spaces were accepted.
eg:
lfs /join=[xxx] XXXXXXX XXX

worked - sry

I've found the simplest solution: use "^" symbol before special characters.
