Watch this video to learn how to create your own codes for Xfire: Youtu.be
Additional command lines:
LauncherDirAppend=\run Use this after the LauncherDirKey, if the LauncherExe is not located in the folder that is registered in the registry but is a folder deeper in the same directory. Example: This is the only available registry path: F:\Programme\GOG\Games\Independence War 2\bin. But the .exe is here: F:\Programme\GOG\Games\Independence War 2\bin\release. So the line have to look like this: LauncherDirAppend=\release
DetectDirappend=\Bin\ Use this after the DetectDirKey, if the DetectExe is not located in the folder that is registered in the registry but is a folder deeper in the same directory. Example: This is the only available registry path: F:\Programme\GOG\Games\Independence War 2\bin. But the .exe is here: F:\Programme\GOG\Games\Independence War 2\bin\release. So the line have to look like this: DetectDirappend=\release
LauncherDirDefault=D:\Programme\The Babylon Project Use this if you can´t find a registry path for your game instead of "LauncherDirKey" and write down, where the .exe of your game is installed.

InGameFlags:
|MULTIPLE_WINDOWS Use Proper Window, use this to ensure that Xfire is the top-most window.

Note that most of the information about the InGameFlags is from the Xfire Game Customizer, which i didn´t created. So all credit for the explenations goes to the creator of the program.
