If you look in the installer scripts warzone writes where it is installed to in the registry so it will show in the add remove programs list.
In general, if you see glowing, pulsating things in the game, you should click on them.

Dunno why I keep asking questions instead of experimenting myself. I checked the usual HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and found it, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Warzone 2100"

So in the Xfire games list, I changed the "LauncherDirKey" from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Applications\Warzone2100\PATH" to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Warzone 2100" and it automatically detected the game. No need to explain everything I did, here is the code that allows for full Xfire in-game support with all features:

Code: Select all

[6207]
LongName=Warzone 2100 Resurrection
ShortName=war21
LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Warzone 2100\
LauncherExe=Warzone2100.exe
InstallHint=base.wz
Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
InGameRenderer=OGL
InGameFlags=ENABLE_MOUSE|USE_DINPUT_MOUSE
I spoke to a player on Linux who uses GFire (an Xfire plugin) and by default Xfire in-game works with Warzone, only work needed is to manually detect the game.
Anywayz, all you Windows users, use that code, I may make a little guide as well, but not now, school in the morning :(

Nuff Respeck
