Hi i want to make a shortcut button kind of thing or something like this for my friends to join my dedicated server in a single click.
My server ip is like this: servername.redirectme.com:27015

So far I've tried:

1). Create a shortcut for client pc, basically a bat file with these arguments but nothing happens when run:
start hl.exe -game cstrike -noipx -nojoy -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel +password mypass +connect servername.redirectme.com:27015.

2). Edited GameMenu,res file and added a menu item:
"1" { "label" "Join MY Server" "command" "engine password mypass; connect servername.redirectme.com:27015"}
but clicking on the "Join MY Server" button it keeps on retrying to connect to the server but doesn't even server is already running.
