Ok, so after a lot of over thinking, over writing and trying to accommodate everyone's system while also making it easy to use, I came up with a surprisingly short and easy script.
One drawback is that you have to use it while ARK is in windowed mode. Doesn't matter what your resolution is. If you play in full screen, you will have to log in a not full server and change it to windowed mode. (Unless you know of another way to do it)
Instructions:
0) Download Autoit, copy/paste the script below into a blank script and save it.
1) Get your ARK game screen to windowed mode.
2) Add only the server you want to your favorites list, making sure that server is the only server to select.
3) Start the script. (You can honestly start the script when ever)
4) After the script has started, hover your mouse over the green part of the "Join" button to the right of the white join lettering and PRESS F1 (this records the coordinates of the button to later get the color and mouse destination to click). If you hover to the left of the join button lettering, it tries to toggle the check button for don't show full servers (and odds are the server you are trying to get into is full).
5) Do the previous step for the "Refresh" button and PRESS F2 (this records the coordinates and later the color of the refresh button).
6) Take your mouse anywhere else other than over the Join or Refresh buttons and PRESS F3. This initializes the script and sends it into action. (This grabs the colors from the join and refresh buttons and starts trying to join the server. If I grabbed the colors before while hovering over the buttons, it would have grabbed an illuminated color. Thats why you cant be hovering over the buttons when you push F3 to initialize the script)
7) Wait till you know you have succesfully logged in and PRESS F4 to terminate the script.
This script is as easy as PRESS F1, PRESS F2, PRESS F3, PRESS F4 when you get the hang of it. Let me know of any bugs or problems you guys have with it. Keep this to LoD proper unless you want a bunch of competition getting into the server.
