I wrote this vbscript a while back when I kept getting annoyed that my batch file was taking too long. It doesn't have Angelox's Day/Night scripts, but that wouldn't be too hard to add.
It's also an example of bad coding because most everything is hard-coded. But if anyone wants it, here it is
. I used to use it in a login script for my EQEmulator Server that would auto-login and lock the screen.
Code:
numSecondsToSleep = 10 'Number of seconds to sleep before continuing to launch programs
numMinutesWorldTimeout = 5 'How many minutes should we give World to connect to the login server before we give up
Const ForReading = 1
'Get the arguments
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
If objArgs.Count > 0 Then
If InStr(objArgs(0), ":\") or InStr(objArgs(0), "\\") Then
strPathToEQEmuFolder = objArgs(0)
End If
End If
If InStr(strPathToEQEmuFolder, ":\") > 0 or InStr(strPathToEQEmuFolder, "\\") > 0 Then
binDoCleanup = True
'Fix the path if needed
If Right(strPathToEQEmuFolder, 1) = "\" Then
'Do nothing
Else
strPathToEQEmuFolder = strPathToEQEmuFolder & "\"
End If
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Check to make sure the path to the stored files exists
If True = objFSO.FolderExists(strPathToEQEmuFolder) Then
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.CurrentDirectory = strPathToEQEmuFolder
strPathToMiniLogin = strPathToEQEmuFolder & "MiniLogin.exe"
'If we were provided with the path to wget.exe and it exists, then make sure it exists
If True = objFSO.FileExists(strPathToMiniLogin) Then
strPathToWorld = strPathToEQEmuFolder & "world.exe"
If True = objFSO.FileExists(strPathToWorld) Then
strPathToEQLaunch = strPathToEQEmuFolder & "eqlaunch.exe"
