Handy Dandy way to log into Undermountain

[T-D-C]

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would post this here as I was so sick of having to navigate all the menus in NWN to get to log into Undermountain (where I spend most of my time)

All you need to do it this

1) Create a New NWN Shortcut.

2)Rename it to Escape from Undermountain

3)Right Click on the new shortcut and go to properties

4)In the target field type in the following

C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect 24.173.154.114:5121

(Note this may change depending on where your nwmain.exe file is or where you installed NWN)

5)Click ok

6)Now all you need to do to log into undermountain is doubleclick on this new icon

ENJOY!

Thanks but I thought this was how everybody logged on now I've been doing it this way for awhile. For those that didn't know how to do this I will thank you T-D-C for posting it I never thought to.
I join the form in much the same way but I use the one click way.

Woah! Cool! Thanks!

Um...I am doing something wrong. It says it is invalid.

It was already targeted to the first part of your string, but the second part where you add the "+ connect...etc. will not be accepted.

Make sure there is no space between the + and the connect. What I posted up there was a direct copy and past so try that.

It is not working still.

Here is a direct copy of what I have and what I changed it to, including the quotation marks that the system automatically had in it.

"D:\NeverWinter Nights\nwn.exe"

then changed to...

"D:\NeverWinter Nights\nwn.exe +connect 24.173.154.114:5121"

Hey Larry,

Change the NWN.exe to NWMAIN.exe and it should work.

Cheers!

Like this???

D:\NeverWinter Nights\nwmain.exe+connect 24.173.154.114:5121

No, it still does not work. It says that it does not like the name "NeverWinter"...but that is the name of the file where the game's info is held.

Take out the space between the nwmain.exe and the +connect

Should work after that.

Man that is strange. can you please copy and paste the shortcut target in here.

It should look like this.

C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect 24.173.154.114:5121

can you also post your original NWN shortcut target as well. Maybe that will help us figure this out.
