[SUGGESTION]tw:// protocol

Nice Idea, but then you must have a default tw path because the protocol will run this path.
But maybe someone can code a small connection app which will be installed in a never changed path like C:\WINDOWS\System32\ (on Windows). But this would also be hard, because there can't be an tw app without skins, maps, game.png, ect.

The only way to do this is: Making an Setup app from tw, that makes the key in the registry for the protocol, and saves the tw location in the registry.

What if teeworlds will remain without installer and:
every time the game client run, check if the reg key exists. If exists, check the path. If it's the same, nothing to do, else change the key. If the reg key doesn't exists need to create it.
(something like this also for linux and mac)

With this method, if you have one or more client downloaded, it will run the last you used.

I gave it a try with a batch file that parses the passed argument / address. It does not check for any errors so handle with care! I do not take responsibility for anything.

edit: here as well as at posterous the linking engine kills tw:// links and tries to convert them into http-links, e.g tw://88.191.17.73:8304 will result in http://tw//88.191.17.73:8304
but... try this one: http://tinyurl.com/HuH-Instagib-CTF

Maybe along with that the devs could implement a simple web api around the master server that gives developers access to the master server list?  The api would give access to all the same server information that the game client does.

This has been discussed before. Not done because it's so platform specific. If someone does it, it should be formatted like this:

teeworlds:servername:port

and not

teeworlds://servername:port

to follow the specifications. Feel free to implement it as a script for the game or something.
