Tha_Rainman Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 (edited) Instead of pointing the shortcut to a game directly point it to a .bat file. (tha_roosta will like this )In the batch file write this. This example launches UT on my PC:taskkill /IM YzDock.exe"E:\Games\UT2003\System\UT2003.exe""D:\Program Files\yzDockBeta 0.7\yzdock.exe"Once you quit the game it starts up YZ again.pretty useful eh EDIT: This technique is from a guy in my other forum, see this thread Edited April 14, 2003 by Tha_Rainman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Burns Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 wow that's a great tip trying it out now, withthe new yz dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha_Rainman Posted April 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Only problem is the CMD window remains once you quit and you have to close it manually. Also, I'm having a problem launching battlefield 1942 which takes parameters. tha_roosta the .bat masta might come up with something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha_rooster Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 shouldn't exit at the end of the .bat do the trick? taskkill /IM YzDock.exe"E:\Games\UT2003\System\UT2003.exe""D:\Program Files\yzDockBeta 0.7\yzdock.exe"exitbtw i'm not a .bat master(yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Burns Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 yea, figured that one out too but still roosta, you're learning dos/.bat much faster than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha_Rainman Posted April 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Does adding 'exit' work? Peeps at the forum said it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Burns Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 nah doesn't...coz the dos is stuck on: "C:\Program Files\YZDock\yzdock.exe"it doesn't end that for some reason..stopexittaskkill /cmd.exeall three should work, but forzen on "C:\Program Files\YZDock\yzdock.exe"that's unfortuante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha_Rainman Posted April 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 I even tried EXIT /B which means quit the batch script opposed to quit cmd prompt. Didn't work, probably something to do with yz dock and being executed by dos. Btw, try DOS in fullscreen its different to windows 9x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
