Custom launch options?

[maestroplaya]

How do I make my game launch with custom server? (for example how I could put -jbg.config serverUrl="jb-ecast.klucva.ru" in Steam launch options)
Is it the custom server (similar to servers from servers.json) that is needed for this kind of operations, or it could be set from somewhere else? If it is the custom server, tell me please where is the place there for a custom server link.

For context: using MacOS 15.6.1

I don't think you can do this with the Utility. It's not made with custom launch options in mind. The "servers.json" file you mention is used for the servers the Utility itself uses for its assets.

But will there be any support for custom launch options? Or is there a way to modify launching process in code? Maybe you could provide file name/file path in where I could find the launch process

The app right now is in "maintenance" mode (only bugs are being fixed). No new features are planned to be added, unfortunately. Mac is even more limiting in terms on what you can do anyways.

By maintenance mode, do you mean that new games are no longer being added? I love that this program allows us to launch Jackbox games from Steam and Epic and also launch some non-Jackbox games too such as Use Your Words. But if the program is going in maintenance mode, does that mean future releases of Jackbox games and other similar party games (for example, the sequel to Use Your Own Words, Use Your Own Words 2, is missing from the drop-down menu), will no longer be added? If so, it would be amazing if users could add them on our own.

The development of the app itself is in maintenance mode but the server you connect to can still add the games to the utility without an app update. (By default you connect to the server linked to your language, but you can change it in the settings)

We will still add new games to the Utility. Use Your Words 2 is also planned to be added.
You can add the games you want by having your own server (just cloning the repository from the English one and modifying whatever you want).
