Shell Blocking Game [Big Box Only]

[Scorpion_83]

Hello,

First post here.  I've been trying to find a way to get antimicro to run then launch a game.  Then, when the game exits, so does antimicro.  This is my first time scripting and it looks like I've got it right.  It works in Launchbox, but in Big Box the shell [cmd window] stays active on the screen instead of the game.  At this point I would need keyboard or mouse interaction to continue, which I do not want.  Any suggestions?

Here's my script so far:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\AntiMicro
start antimicro.exe
cd C:\LaunchBox\Games\Windows\Mortal Kombat 4
start /b /wait mk4.exe
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\AntiMicro
taskkill /F /IM antimicro.exe

Not sure if this will work in your case, but... create a shortcut to your batch file. Then right click the shortcut and select Properties.  Then in the Shortcut tab, for Run:, select "Minimized" and click OK.

Then point to the shortcut instead of the batch file itself.
