- Angelscry - 2011-01-24 fr500 Wrote:I've got a feature idea. Could you add launcher id tag to the launcher itself and a way to accept arguments? If you do so skis with support for custom shortcuts on the home menu could have a way to launch common used launchers from the home menu. This feature is already supported by the addon
Code: <setting type="string" name="skin.alaska.revisited.programbuttonname_2">Boxee</setting> - Angelscry - 2011-01-24 Rectification : It is also working with roms. You just have to avoid to use special characters (like bracket) into launcher name or rom name to make it works. Here is how it appear into the guisettings.xml file : Code: <setting type="string" name="skin.alaska.revisited.programbuttonname_3">The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time</setting> So if your skin is able to start plugin from submenu using this command line : Code: RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?[b]#launcher_name#[/b]/[b]#rom_name#[/b],return) - fr500 - 2011-01-24 Angelscry Wrote:Rectification : It is also working with roms.

Cool, thanks didn't know it was there already - KiSUAN - 2011-01-24 Well I`ve done some fine tunning to some views... I added the option to use Gamesys Fanart as Background (thanks Angel) for the Panel view and added the option to have extrathumbs in Slide view. * AVL + Slide Extrathumbs Place the extrathumbs in C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.night.purity\extras\avlfanart\(name of the launcher)\ Name the images thumb1.jpg & thumb2.jpg, there is a folder with images an example. *AVL + Panel Gamesys Background Images located in C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.night.purity\extras\avlfanart\ Just name the image as the Gamesys, there are some images as example. You can get the complete list of gamesys from: C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.program.advanced.launcher\resources\scrapers\gamesys (open with notepad or other) Enjoy. - srsobieraj - 2011-01-24 Hi Angelscry & ALA community, Request/Suggestion/Thought: "Run Before" & "Run After" inputs for Launchers & Roms. I'd like to be able to run Xpadder with different configurations depending on the Emulator I'm using. I think the best way to do this would be to include a Run Before option for Launchers. I can simply type the command-line argument that I want to run before and after ALA launches the Emulator. I'd like to do something like this: Code: C:\Xpadder\xpadder.exe controller1.profile controller2.profile So I can pass arguments to the command line both before and after ALA runs the emulator. The problem is that I would need to specify "Run Before" and "Run After" for each Rom, but still have a "default" value. I run a variety of Windows games on my computer and many require a different Xpadder layout. This solution isn't perfect, but it would solve my problem. Has anyone encountered this problem and solved it? Can anyone help with a better solution? It's driving me nuts! Would EventGhost be able to solve this problem? ie, use EventGhost to detect a certain application launch, then run Xpadder when it opens and kill it when it closes? - Angelscry - 2011-01-24 srsobieraj Wrote:Hi Angelscry & ALA community,After a long reflexion, I have decided to not add pre and post command line support to the Advanced Launcher add-on. It will better to use external scripts or executables to manage other application than the one started. As I have already explained several time here, that you can do this using Autoit scripts. For example in your case you can create a simple script that could look like this : Code: if $CmdLine[0] = 1 Then Code: ... Using Evenghost is not a good idea for me. - User 55003 - 2011-01-24 srsobieraj Wrote:Hi Angelscry & ALA community, What type of game pad do you have? With a logitech game pad I just use the logitech profile software.. Create a profile for each emu and select "Apply profiles to games automatically" in global profiler settings. - srsobieraj - 2011-01-24 Steveb Wrote:What type of game pad do you have? I am using the Xbox 360 Wireless controller. It doesn't have a profiler app unfortunately. Quote:That's all. The script if simple (6 lines) and will do exactly what you want. Do you can next improve it. For example you can analyses the $CmdLine[0] command line argument and extract the rom filename from it and start xpadder.exe using related controller profile. I wasn't aware that AutoIt supported If or Switch statements. I will check it out more thoroughly, thank you for your suggestion. Once I have my controller(s) working, I will have a complete Home Theatre experience, and it's all thanks to this add-on! - Angelscry - 2011-01-24 srsobieraj Wrote:I am using the Xbox 360 Wireless controller. It doesn't have a profiler app unfortunately.Believe me. AutoIt is REALLY powerfull and the online documentation is really complete : http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/ When I was a windows user, few years ago, I was able a create command line launchers that were able to start emulators that did not have command line support (by simulate keys typing and windows menu navigation). - fr500 - 2011-01-24 srsobieraj Wrote:Hi Angelscry & ALA community, Just do a batch file that launches xpadder, then your emulator then tracks if your emulator is running (maybe each 3 seconds or 10 whatever you want) once it finds the emu is finished kills xpadder and back to emu. You don't need external tools at all, they add complexity and you'd need to learn a scripting language. sh on linux and batch files (or powershell scripts) on windows can do almost anything. Quote:@echo off Also you might create a shortcut to this .bat and add it to XBMC, in this shortcut you should set the startup path to your app's path and set it to start minimized to avoid the ugly DOS window popping up. Remark: I'll eventually clean this up so it's shorter, clearer but I'm doing...well a lot of stuff lately and this just works - Angelscry - 2011-01-24 Version 0.9.12 : This new option bring 2 new setting parameters : default paths folders for launchers thumbs and fanarts.

Is the article sorting configurable (The, A) I don't like it, it should respect XBMC's global setting for this. Kudos for the default paths! - KiSUAN - 2011-01-24 Great, thanks a lot!!!
