Making xfire show other users you are playing project reality

Just a quick guide I found on the PR Forums.

Just applied it then and seemed to work without a hitch, but I don't have any friends on xfire playing PR to see if it worked.

I'll just leave it here

There IS a way , this is only for those of you who are addicted to Project Reality since when you play bf2 now it will see Project Reality not Battlefields 2

 

Go to xfire_games.ini (search for it on the drive you installed xfire on) I found the file in C:\ProgramData\Xfire\xfire_games.ini on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

 

In that file search "[4578]" and where it says long name delete battlefield 2 and put project reality there. Save the file then restart xfire.

 

If you want to launch Project Reality from xfire then

 

Open xfire_games.ini and go to the very bottom and paste the following

 

If you do both of thee steps then you will need to change the long name to a different name from Project Reality such as PR or PR2 or Project_Reality etc

 

[6255]

LongName=Project Reality

ShortName=pr

LauncherExe=pr.exe

Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS%

InGameRenderer=D3D9

InGameFlags=DISABLE_RELEASE|BLOCK_ASYNC|USE_PRESENT|USE_SWAPCHAIN|ENABLE_MOUSE|USE_DINPUT_MOUSE

ExcludeIPPorts=29900,29901,29902,29903,29904

RunElevated=1

 

When you have done that you may need to change the number 6255 to the next number in the list. You can find the last number by looking up and the first game above is the last game. so the one above mine is 6254 (actually its 6254_3 but thats another matter , if this applies to you then just go the next number before the _.

 

After that save and restart xfire.

 

After that you will have to make xfire detect the game so go to tools/launch/detect games/find project reality on the not installed list (its a drop down arrow in the listbox) and click it. Then choose manual detect on the right hand side panel and click browse. Browse to where you have bf2 installed and go to mods/pr/pr.exe in that directory.

 

Now select pr.exe and click open. Then click apply. You should now be able to launch project reality via xfire...
