Need help with a special PC Game

[jguelker]

Hi!
I need help launching a certain game. Launching works, but I want to launch it fullscreen. This doesn't work via command line but only by pressing F after the launch.
Can anybody supply a working script or something?

Second problem: ESC exits fullscreen, pushing a second time exits the game. I want it to exit with the first push.

Any idea how to get it to work? Could somebody post a '.ahk or something which I can compile to a launcher? I'm not really into this script-programming. Help would be appreciated!

Thank you all!

without knowing the full details I can't give you a completed script- but you can edit this easily.


run, gamename.exe
WinActivate, Game Name
winWaitActive, Game Name
send, F
Escape::
Process, Close, Game Name
Exitapp
return


replace gamename.exe with the executable name and replace "game name" with whatever the actual window title is, e.g. firefox.exe is "Mozilla Firefox"

Thanks, it works great!
Only problem is that if the game has a video in the theme, it runs with no sound and locks up after a short time. If I remove the Video from the Media folder everything works like a charm. Tried with different FLVs - no difference.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like your system specs aren't up to the job? But what do I know.....

Requirements are fine. It's an old American Laser Games shooter (Mad Dog). I want to include the PC-Version into my Mame wheel.
When I have the vid in my theme, it seems to shut up Hyperspin when I start the game. That's of course fine. But it should not shut up my game as well, right? Is it importnat that the game uses wavs and mpegs?

the script isn't for hyperlaunch, it's a standalone launcher that you would compile and save in the same directory as the executables.
