open the Serverbrowser

Subject: open the Serverbrowser Tue Nov 25, 2008 9:26 pm

I may introduce to you a fix, to get the
Serverbrowser opened via a Main menu button.

Copy this into your mainmenu.res:

Code:: // Server Browser
"BtnOpenServer"
{
"ControlName" "L4D360HybridButton"
"fieldName" "BtnOpenServer"
"xpos" "100"
"ypos" "175" [$X360]
"ypos" "165" [$WIN32]
"wide" "180" [$X360]
"wide" "180" [$WIN32]
"tall" "20" [$X360]
"tall" "15" [$WIN32]
"autoResize" "1"
"pinCorner" "0"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"tabPosition" "0"
"navUp" "BtnPlaySolo"
"navDown" "BtnStatsAndAchievements"
"labelText" "OPEN SERVER BROWSER"
"tooltiptext" "Look for a server using the server list."
"style" "MainMenuButton"
"command" "OpenServerBrowser"
"ActivationType" "1"
"FocusDisabledBorderSize" "1"
}

This will help you with your serverbrowser issues (if you have any) until valve releases
an official fix ... what basically will be the same.

The MainMenu.res is located in
common\left 4 dead\left4dead\resource\UI\L4D360UI

I had the informations from fpsbanana, here:
