HOWTO: link unreal://ip or xmp://ip to XMP

As Rage requested in another thread, it'd be useful to have XMP associated to unreal:// (or to avoid conflicts with UT2003 xmp://)

I've put together 2 scripts for the Windows Registry.

unreal://

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\unreal]
@="URL:Unreal Protocol"
"URL protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\unreal\DefaultIcon]
@="I:\\Games\\U2XMP\\Help\\Unreal.ico"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\unreal\Shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\unreal\Shell\open]
@="&Play this Unreal level"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\unreal\Shell\open\command]
@="I:\\Games\\U2XMP\\System\\U2XMP.exe \"%1\""

xmp://

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmp]
@="URL:Unreal Protocol"
"URL protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmp\DefaultIcon]
@="I:\\Games\\U2XMP\\Help\\Unreal.ico"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmp\Shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmp\Shell\open]
@="&Play this Unreal level"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmp\Shell\open\command]
@="I:\\Games\\U2XMP\\System\\U2XMP.exe \"%1\""

ATTENTION: Of course u have to edit the paths to fit yours!
Pay attention to using double back slashes (\\) for paths!

OK:
Save the stuff of the code boxes to a textfile (test.txt)

Then edit the path:

Code: 
@="I:\\Games\\U2XMP\\System\\U2XMP.exe \"%1\""
^this is the path to your XMP, if you have it in C:\XMP change it to:

Code: 
@="C:\\XMP\\System\\U2XMP.exe \"%1\""

Afterwards rename it to test.reg and double-click it.
There should pop up a question like "Do you want to add test.reg to your registry"?
Click ok and you're done!

Hey Bazzi, that's a very neat tweak you've developped there and be certain that I will pass it on. This association problem with the unreal url (which is official by Internet standards) is common to all of the Unreal series, though.

I posted a suggestion in the Coding forum in the hopes that someone might implement a solution, but noone seems to have picked it up. If you know any programmers out there that develop Windows applications then please forward them this link :

That would be much appreciated :D . An application that allows a user to select an Unreal game from a pull-down list would be more than sufficient.

There is a document somewhere in that thread that details how to identify the type of server running on a specific IP using a protocol specific to Gamespy.

It's an addition to the registry that makes an xmp:// style link (with IP) launch Unreal II 2 XMP and access a online server with a simple click. In short, it's a customized unreal:// link :p .

What does this do exactly?
Click to expand...

Launch XMP whenever an xmp:// style link is clicked. The current unreal:// link will launch whatever the lastest Unreal title you've installed is whether it's Unreal, UT, UT2003/UT2004 or XMP.
