[PLUGIN] QuickLaunch

[stigzler]

Tried both. Both on 1.1.1. Thanks for the reply

[Adultery]

Updated the downloads all to 1.1.3

[stigzler]

Sorry Adultery. Still having problems with this. Same as before - QL seeming to stop half way through its process without calling the script. Log attached. Any ideas? (not linked to the compiled batch issue - as just straight calling a bat file, which has been tested via command line outside of QL).

[Adultery]

Can you post your GameEx log after it fails and also the plugin settings.xml?

[stigzler]

Cheers Adultery.

Wonder if below in Gameex log gives a pointer?

Thanks for your help.

Yeah it's crashing on the game run again. I'll look at it again.

I wish I could reproduce it.

[stigzler]

I selected "Launch Before" if that's of any help. It needs to launch before because uses script x then GE-launched app uses script x again, and first run of script x has to be completed before second (errrr...if that makes sense!). None of the advanced options checked.

Thanks for checking it out + let me know if I can help further with reproducing it.

EDIT: Guessing it wouldn't but would posting my bat script help? Would there be anything in the interaction between the two?

[Adultery]

Try this one in debug mode. This should at least prevent the plugin from crashing if it's a specific game that's causing this and provide me with better insight.

[stigzler]

Nice one. Still crashing - relevant logs attached.

It's all very mysterious and i'm up to me n*ts in log files this end

[Adultery]

It looks like whichever emulator that is didn't have a database set for it and it's trying to replace an empty string.

I'll fix that right now.

[stigzler]

Hmmm... in setup wizard it's set to "[Console] Sony Playstation"

Wonder why that's happening?

From GameEx.ini:

Just want to save any blind alleys

[Adultery]

Nope I meant internally. I can see it's set in the launch after. I should have been more specific.

I'll fix it.

[stigzler]

Ah, no worries Adultery - sorry - wasn't being pedantic, although the beasts which we are attempting to tame unfortunately are! Sorry to keep breaking yer stuff! (although if yer anything like me, I love that feeling of squashing bugs )

[Adultery]

Try this guy.

[stigzler]

Adultery, me old mucka, me ole bean - that very much did the trick

And 8 months of toil and hair loss have just wonderfully come to fruition! Thanks for all yer toil.

[Adultery]

No worries, I just moved the emulator parsing to a different event. More efficient that way anyhow.

[Adultery]

Updated to 1.1.4

• Moved the Emulator INI parsing to the EmulatorLoad event
• Fixed a bug where some info was being called for before it was set
• Fixed some events not being handled if not being completed which was crashing the plugin

Snag it from the usual places.

[stigzler]

Sadly, Adultery, think it might be broken again! Could be my end, but since updating GameEx today, not working again - seems to often happen after a GE update.

Replaced 4.1 with the test beta you gave me - still same problem. Logs attached. bat file and path fine. Potentially relevant bits:

Does GameEx keep jiggling around or something?

[Adultery]

This one has some deep variable logging so I can see what the issue is (which might slow you down a little). Nothing has changed since I released 1.1.4 and it worked before.

[stigzler]

Thanks Adultery, but think my head's already slowed down! So is it my end or something GE/QL related? Forgive me if I'm being thick...I'm maybe sensing a degree of diplomacy?

[Adultery]

Let's just give that one a run and see what's happening with the ini parsing.

[stigzler]

lol - now I'm totally lost - sorry. Should I be doing something this end, or are you meaning you're doing something your end?

[Adultery]

Oops, I forgot to add the dev build to the post! Lol! One sec.

[Adultery]

I thought you were going silly on me for a sec! Lol!

[stigzler]

Ah good - thought it was me. Attached.
