CoD4 console equivalent of "alias"

    In the olden HL and Quake days, you could type "alias hi say hello there", then any time you typed "hi" in the console you would say hello there publicly. I don't see any Alias command in CoD4 and I'm wondering if there's something similar.

    Just so you know, I know about BIND, and it won't help in my situation.

    I dunno tbh, but why would you want to do that?

    Good name epic tissue.
    I don't know if cod4 has linux like capabilities like alias...

    well, maybe there's another one to achieve my aims... I have about 4 servers that I regularly join. But I can only ever get one of them to show up in my server browser :/
    So what I was going to do was something like:
    "alias s1 connect 123.123.123.123:12345"

    Then any time I open CoD4, I can just pull the console and type s1 to connect. If it's full, I just type s2, and so on...

    I could probably do something like this with parameters in the shortcut, but I'd rather not have four shortcuts for it, and have to exit and reenter the game to try different servers :/

    Use the all seeing eye, enter teh four ip's into a list, it will then show you how many players are in each server, your ping, the map etc. You click which one you want, it opens cod4 and joins the server. I like it.
