tabascoman77 Posted Saturday at 04:06 AM Posted Saturday at 04:06 AM One of two issues. I will address the other in my other forum post. I have a makeshift cab. Two monitors and an X-Arcade Tankstick. There are two side buttons on each side of the Tankstick. The issue is that the extraneous two buttons are mouse buttons...so...you have to use a Hotkey script (a couple of them on my system) to switch the mouse buttons with the "nudge" keys on the keyboard. ("Z" and "/") and, that way, you can use your Tankstick upper side buttons to "nudge" tables within VPX. The issue is that the scripts nullify keys, which means you cannot jump from a VPX game to, say, MAME on the fly and start playing six-button arcade games because random keys don't respond anymore when the HK scripts are active. Is there a way I can launch both scripts beforehand for VPX, keep them running while VPX is running, then have them both quit upon exit so I can go into other emulators and play other games that aren't virtual pinball games? I'm a little over halfway there with my Before programming but I haven't tested it. So far, I have this.
Mike_da_Spike Posted Saturday at 04:11 AM Posted Saturday at 04:11 AM If you need 2 files to run, add them to a batch file (.bat or .cmd) and add that batchfile to your launch before scripts Maybe this will help : https://www.tutorialspoint.com/batch_script/index.htm

My BAT file works for launching my nudge files but I can't seem to make a BAT file to make them quit. I thought I had the right syntax but maybe I'm missing something. Here's what I have in the "kill" BAT: @echo off taskkill /F /IM X-Hotkeys.exe taskkill /F /IM AutoHotKey 64-bit.exe exit The applications don't quit and will ignore the BAT file. Nevermind! Got it working! Did this for the kill BAT: @echo off TSKILL X-Hotkeys TSKILL Nudge exit Works like a charm! Thanks! 1
