Linux UrT Launcher

==================

The urbanterror.info website has had a server browser for quite some time now, and it even comes with a nifty little program to start UrT by clicking on a link in the browser. Unfortunately, this program is Windows and Mac only and there hasn't been a Linux option, *until now*.

If you follow these simple steps, it should be up and running in no time.

## Instructions ##

1. Download these files:

    + [urt-handler-2.py](urt-handler-2.py) or [urt-handler-3.py](urt-handler-3.py) depending on your version of Python

    + [urt-handler.desktop](urt-handler.desktop)

    + [mimeapps.list](mimeapps.list)

2. Move the `urt-handler.py` to a location of your choosing

3. Update the `urt-handler.desktop` and change the line that starts with `Exec` to match the location where you put the `urt-handler.py` file.  

4. Move the `urt-handler.desktop` file to `~/.local/share/applications/`

5. Go to `~/.local/share/applications/` and look for a file called `mimeapps.list`  

    + If it exists, add the line `x-scheme-handler/urt=urt-handler.desktop` under the heading `[Added Associations]`

    + If it doesn't exist, copy the `mimeapps.list` file that I've given you to `~/.local/share/applications/`

6. That's it! Have fun using the online server browser!
