If a game supports directly connecting to a server when running the executable / shortcut - add that in.

Ability to enter IP address of LAN game at time of launch. Also provide dedicated server option if it existing. For renegade -launcher +connect 5.161.188.50:7000 +netplayername JimmyCapps

BF1942: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +restart 1 +playerName JimmyCapps +joinServer 100.40.127.27:14567

I had to use a public server for testing as the DadLAN one wasnt up

BF2: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +restart +playerName BF2hubusername+playerPassword BF2hubpassword +joinServer 10.0.0.102

Given the password for the BF2Hub account is required im not sure on this one. We could prompt the player for the PW at launch but BF2 saves the PW anyways. This def would work for the DadLAN Laptops tho.

Excellent working on the implementations for this in the powershell overhaul branch
