[RESOLVED] DAPHNE LAUNCH BEFORE & LAUNCH AFTER

[dudunkle]

Hi

I have created a executable scripts for emulator with autohotkey for reassign some keys.

We have discussed about it in this post:

http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=9922

In the script for daphne I have reassign only one key:

esc::f6

f6::esc

Then I have converted the script in .exe with the program: Ahk2Exe script to exe converted.

The script must start before of emulatorâ??s launch, while the script must close when I go out of the emulator.

I have used the following command-lines up to now:

Before the launch:

start "" C: \ AutoHotKey \ snintendo.exe

After the launch:

taskkill / f / im snintendo.exe

They have worked for all emulators that I have used except for daphne. It doesnâ??t load exe script.

Which commands for daphne must I insert in Launch Before and Launch After?

Thanks.

You could try and run the exe from a bat file and see if it works.

How do I do?

Maybe GameEx doesn't set the current directory for Daphne? Try moving the script to the Daphne's executable folder and launch it from there.

[Adultery]

Try this:

::Launch your AHK Script
:START
@echo off
::Make sure it's in the right drive first!
C:
::Change the directory
cd "C:\AutoHotKey\"
::Launch the executable
start "" snintendo.exe
:END
::EoF

Here's the BAT file to add in if you don't know how to make one:

Let us know if this method works for you in LaunchBefore.

Actually I just realised his AutoHotkey script only remaps a few keys so it shouldn't matter what the current directory is.

Adultery is most likely right that there is a problem using "start" to launch it. His batch file might help here.

I've had similar problems with emulators and batch files usually take care of the issues.

[dudunkle]

Try this:

::Launch your AHK Script:START@echo off::Make sure it's in the right drive first!C:::Change the directorycd "C:\AutoHotKey\"::Launch the executablestart "" snintendo.exe:END::EoFHere's the BAT file to add in if you don't know how to make one:

LaunchAHK.zip (280bytes)

Number of downloads: 1

Let us know if this method works for you in LaunchBefore.

Excuse me, but Iâ??m a novice about it and I donâ??t understand How must be compile .bat file.

The directory of the file created with autohotkey is: C:\AUTOHOTKEY\daphne.exe

Daphne emulatorâ??s directory is: C:\EMU\daphne

How must it be changed your .bat file?

Which command-line must I insert in gameexâ??s advance configuration launch before and launch after?

Must I leave the current ones?

Before the launch:

start "" C: \ AutoHotKey \ daphne.exe

After the launch:

taskkill / f / im daphne.exe

THANKS!

I'm at work now, but when I get home I can make these changes and upload.

C:

::Change the directorycd "C:\AutoHotKey\"

::Launch the executable

start "" daphne.exe

:END

::EoF

I have inserted following command-lines, but the .exe file created with autohotkey doesn't start.

Before the launch:

start "" C:\daphne.bat

After the launch:

taskkill /f /im daphne.exe

If I click twice on bat file with mouseâ??s left key, the executable file created with autohotkey starts.

The bat file works, maybe I should change the command-line before the launch... How must I change these command-lines?

Thanks.

All you do is point the line at the batch file like so:

LaunchBefore="C:\AutoHotKey\daphne.bat"

That's assuming of course that the batch file is in the "C:\AutoHotKey" directory.

As Tom would say, Cheers.

Itâ??s works!

I have put the bat file in C: \ and I have inserted the following command-line:

LaunchBefore = C: \ AutoHotKey \ daphne.bat ( without â?? â?? )

Thanks!

You bet! Marking as [RESOLVED]!
