If the original steam_api.dll is renamed to steam_api_original.dll and this dll is named steam_api.dll and placed in NS2's root directory, it will redirect all but one function to the original dll. If the original is updated by NS2, this will likely not work and need rebuilding. The dll built by this project works as a proxy for the original dll. So steam://connect/ would query the query port, but when this was passed to the game it would attempt to connect to the query port instead of the game server port, and fail. NS2's game servers accept query requests on a different port than the actual game server's port. This used to be possible with the Steam browser protocol ( steam://connect/) but either Steam or NS2 made a change and it no longer works.
The connection functionality was required for another project of mine which included the ability to assist the user with joining servers. This is used by my other project, NS2 Assistant. At the moment all that is exposed is what is required to make the game connect to a server and to open a URL in the Steam overlay browser. This project is a replacement steam_api.dll for the game Natural Selection 2, exposing functionality for use by another program. Proxy steam_api.dll for Natural Selection 2
