Yes, copy and paste those lines into the existing hosts file.  For windows, usually located here:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

The MS replacement is only available for SWBF1-SWBF2.

If you wish to host your own, go to our downloads section and download the server software for SWBF1/SWBF2 and the SWBFSpy patch.

If the game natively supported Gamespy and didn't have any special protocols, it COULD work with a host file edit.  We had a discussion before with another group about it.

I think the most convenient thing to do in such a case is to do some research and see if the theory is real, before posting it publicly. If it works, we'd be able to update the info website as well as the main SWBFSpy thread in the forums, letting clients know how they'd be able to patch their games and what requirements would be needed for it to work under SWBFSpy.

Yes, but the problem is that, because of the way we market the product, nobody is ever going to ask us.

Best case scenario, if he can figure out a hosts edit, and it works.  Worst case, it doesn't, and life goes on.  I don't want to "officially" support other games, but if it works I'm not going to stop anyone.

Somewhere is a list of games that Kalle got to work.  After that, no one has gotten others to work, but to be fair, I am not sure who was doing the trying.

DP has completed compiled Kalle's source on his own, and he may be able to add functionality.
