Urban Server Picker
Urban Server Picker is simple server browser for the game Urban Terror.It requires Mac OS X 10.8 or later and is localized in english and french.
You can download it here.
OS X might refuse to open the application.
The solution is to right-click (or control-click) the application and chose "Open". Then just click the "Open" button.
This application was developed for the fun of it and in order to familiarize myself with Objective-C and Xcode.
There will be bugs so feel free to report them to me along with suggestions and requests.
Once the application is downloaded just
put it wherever you want.
When you start the application it will automatically get a new list from the selected master server.
Preferences can be accessed using the usual preferences shortcut (cmd + ,) or in the Urban Server Picker menu.
Automatic updates and master server settings can be changed here too.
Urban Server Picker stores these preferences into ~/Library/Preferences/fr.urban-terror.Urban-Server-Picker.plist.
Favorite servers are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Urban Server Picker.
You have the possibility to refresh it or clear it.
Getting a new list will ask the master server for a list and filter it to remove unwanted servers (if you use the master.quake3arena.com master server it will return servers for other Quake mods, they will not be displayed).
Unresponsive servers will be kept and refreshed when using the "Refresh list" button. If they are not responsive for many requests in a row they won't be refreshed anymore (you can still try to refresh them by displaying unresponsive servers and manually refreshing them).
There are many ways to add these servers.
- Drag them from the Master server list
- Drag an address:ip from any other document
- Copy/Paste them from anywhere
- Use the Add server... button
This list of server will be saved when the Urban Server Picker quit (but won't be saved if the application crash) and will automatically be restored when you restart your application.
You can remove selected servers from this list using the "Remove servers" button (or the associated shortcut).
