SoFii

A prelaunch environment for Soldier of Fortune 2, primary for use with the Flashii server of it.

The tool lets you decide what video mode to use before launching and also provides you with an easy way to set a coloured player name.

This tool doesn't download the game for you, a copy of it with SoF2MP.exe is required!

The only network request this program makes is a TXT DNS lookup to _sofii.flashii.net to retrieve the current server address, whatever the latest recommended version of the tool is and if needed an announcement message. This network request will not happen if "Use custom server address" is checked.

Settings are stored in the Windows Registry at HKCU\Software\flash.moe\SoFii. If for whatever reason you want to prevent the program from ever doing the DNS lookup create a DWORD value called UseDefaultServer and set it to 0. You can also specify custom DNS servers here, bypassing the included list of DNS servers completely. Create a String/SZ value called CustomDNSServers and separate your servers with spaces, both IPv4 and IPv6 (no brackets) are supported.
