Rock5's MySettings scripts
Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2014 11:36 am
I'm working on some scripts that will automate changing the client settings before starting the client. I've got most of it done and am just wondering how much people would be interested in it. I'll also consider any suggestions.
The main purpose if this is to allow the login userfunction and LoginNextChar restart options the ability to start the client on the correct region. So you could theoretically run clients on multiple regions from the same installation at the same time, which you couldn't do before, well.. not while using the restart options anyway.
Instead of writing any more, I'll just post the contents of the Readme file I've already written. Let me know if it doesn't make sense.

Code: Select all
Description
===========
MySettings allows you to create shortcuts to start the Runes of Magic client with different settings.
For instance you could create different links that start the game on the EU region and another for
the AUS region.
You could then use these links with the "login" script or the loginNextChar restart options to run
different regions at the same time.
You can also create a shortcut that starts the game with low quality settings and another for high.
Or a combination of both.
How It Works
============
When set up, double clicking a link will copy setting files it finds in a sub folder to the game
folder and then start the game.
Included files
==============
MySettings - The folder where all the MySettings files are stored.
shortcut.wsf - A script for creating shortcuts used by the batch files.
Make Links.bat - A batch file that can automatically create the shortcuts to your subfolders.
starter.bat - The batch file that your new links will point to. The links also send an argument
telling the script which settings to use.
Automatically Created Files
===========================
After you set up sub folders with your settings, "Make Links.bat" will create a link for each sub
folder. The link will point to the starter.bat file and include the sub folder name as an argument.
When you use a link, it will create a link to your client with the NoCheckVersion which it uses to
start the game called "StartClientLink.lnk".
Instructions
============
1. Put the "Mysettings" folder into the games directory, eg. "Runes of Magic/MySettings".
2. Set up the game the way you want then copy the settings files you want to restore when using
the link, to a sub folder of MySettings. Eg. "MySettings/EU/". Repeat for each set of settings
you want to use.
2.1 To have the link start a particular region copy the "update.inf" file to the sub folder.
2.2 To have the link restore the game settings, such as graphics quality and window size,
copy the "client.config.ini" file to the sub folder. Note: to set the window size, edit
the file manually and change the settings at the top of the file.
3. After you have set up your subfolders (or when you make any changes) run "Make Links.bat" which
will create a link for each set of settings. These are the links you will use to start the game.
4. Copy or move these links anywhere convenient. If you are going to use the links with the "login"
or "LoginNextChar" restart options then copy them to the "rom" folder and use instead of the
client links.
