Topic: server list got changed
I added my pvpgn server to starcraft gateway list, but after playing the list is changed back to the four official battle.net servers. Is there any conf to prevent this?

If Blizzard kept the standard for its games of the same period, I believe that if you add the key "BNETIP" in the Starcraft registry(REGEDIT), it will always force the connection to that IP.
This works great in Diablo II, but I don't know if it will work in Starcraft.
Example of the registry key(REGEDIT) in Diablo II.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II]
"BNETIP"="127.0.0.1"Good luck!

This "BNETIP" value does not work in Starcraft. Thanks anyway.
I have find the cause:
In the file pvpgn\files\bnserver.ini, Section
[Server List Version]
VER=1001
regulates that the list version number small than 1001 will be overwritten, which correspond to the starting number of registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Battle.net\Configuration]
"Battle.net gateways"
So I changed VER to 1000 (the default registry value) and now pvpgn does not overwrite the Bnet server list. Now I know how some servers could push their own server list.
I think VER=1000 should be the default value in pvpgn release.
