== Syntax ==
`hwplay` is an unofficial URL scheme supported by Hedgewars. The syntax of the “hwplay” URL scheme is:
-`hwplay://<HOST>[:<PORT NUMBER>[?room=<ROOM NAME>]]`
+`hwplay://<HOST>[:<PORT NUMBER>]`
Parts in square brackets are optional.
Parts enclosed in less-then and greater-than signs are parameters, where
* `<HOST>` is the IP address or host name of the server
* `<PORT NUMBER>` stands for the TCP port number of the server
- * `<ROOM NAME>` is the name of a room in the server
If the port number is omitted, Hedgewars assumes the default port 46631.
-If the room name is given, the user will automatically join this room. Otherwise, the user will start in the lobby of the server.

== Examples ==
Here are some example `hwplay` URLs:
* [hwplay://netserver.hedgewars.org]: Points to the lobby of the official server. This is the same as if you'd click on the “official server” button in the main menu
* `hwplay://192.168.43.6:54321`: Points to the lobby on a LAN server with IP 192.168.42.6, port number 54321
- * `hwplay://example.org?room=MyRoom`: Points to the room called “MyRoom” on the server “example.org”
* `hwplay://example.com:59000`: Points to the server “example.com”, port number 59000
