Hi, sorry if I'm in the wrong section, but I have a question. Is it possible to set the connect *ip.ip.ip.ip* command that you have to put in the console to a hotkey? Maybe run a little script or something?
I also have to join an empty server before I can open the console, I have it enabled in settings and changed my shortcut key, but when I launch TF2 and press that console-key, nothing happens. Anyone got an idea how to open console while not on a server and in the main menu?

I browsed the forum, but couldn't find any related topic to this.

Hey,

To get the console when you launch the game add -console to tf2's launch options.

-novid -console

-novid removes the valve animation.

(To get the launch options, go to your library and right click Team Fortress 2)

To your other point, there are custom menus that some people have submitted here that add buttons to connect to sourceop's servers you can search for that.

Personnally, what I do is add this to my autoexec.cfg

alias goldrush "connect 74.55.49.245:27015"
alias 2fort "connect 67.228.59.147:27015"
alias valve1 "connect 67.228.59.145:27015"
alias valve2 "connect 74.55.49.243:27015"

Then when the server's full and I can't join through a friend, I type 'goldrush' in the console after launching tf2.

This avoids having to reinstall the custom stuff or update it when valve updates the game.
