Launch Steam from any web page - 27.6.05

  Email to a friend



SteamSteamLaunch has just been launched. It is a new link-generator that allows you to ad links to your Valve games servers on a web page. All you need to do is insert your server's IP and port number into the generator, select the game engine and a piece of html code will be generated for you to position on a web page. When users click on the link, their Steam will launch the game in question and join your server.

The service is particularly useful for clan servers and ISPs, providing users with a handy, simple, quick way to connect to an IP. Also included are options: prevent connecting if the server is full, and, display a password dialog if the server is protected. SteamLaunch supports both Half-Life 1 and Source server protocols.

The site is still a work-in-progress, the password dialog feature is not yet functional but the link generator works fine for just adding a link to your server(s).

Here is an example, join the IGNIQ CS: Source server
