I have a simple (I think) Request

**hayward6** · #1 07-17-2005, 02:04 PM

I run a stand-alone server in Windows XP and I am enjoying the freedom that goes with that. What I am looking for is a way to open all of the required windows like World.exe, boot5zones.bat etc. and also waits a few seconds for all that to load and then opens everquest. So basicly setting up a simple one icon that can be double clicked that will run everything.

I know this is possible, but I don't know how it's done. Anyone have any ideas ?

Ok come on dude. Don't you think that's just WAY to lazy?!? It takes what under a min. to load up everything.

Just write a batch file with pauses using something like

Code:

ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5

for a 5 second pause.

Greetings,

Yep, just make a batch file ! you basically make a new text document, type the commands you want it to execute in what sequence and save as myfile.bat ! then just click that !

Hey, If something can be simplified... shouldn't it be ? This is also an experiment to see if I can put together a working game that is easy to install and run on a friends computer, but he really doesnt know anything about the emulation of Everquest. If I can install it and leave him with one simple icon and then just have him close all windows after he logs out, that should be fairly simple for him.
