Too Many Different Engines!

I have 3 files titled Skulltag.exe and one titled Zandronum.exe because there are a lot of servers still using the old Skulltag engine (i.e. Oblacek). Then there are certain servers using Skulltag but using it as 1.0 so I had to make a copy of Zandronum.exe and rename it Skulltag.exe.

Now this is just complicated as all hell and I was wondering if there were an easier way to do this. I'm sick of it being a trial and error to get into a certain server -___-

A good idea could be downloading another browser server (like Internet Doom Explorer) and set it up for Skulltag. So that you can use Doomseeker only for Zandronum...

Also I recommend you have skulltag.exe and zandronum.ee in different folders...

Well, for one you don't need to rename zandronum.exe. IDE doesn't care what it's called as long as you tell it which program to use.

Has the idea ever been tossed around to have a dedicated launcher? Open standards and interoperability is great but if it would benefit Zandronum users it would be worth making.
