DemmyTree Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Is it possible to get a batch mode so when you select all games you can export the shortcuts to a location with it creating a file for each game rather than select them individually?

superrob3000 Posted October 20 Author Share Posted October 20 (edited) Version 8.0.0 of CLI Launcher is now available. I finally got around to installing my Stream Deck on my arcade, so I've been using the plugin myself and as a result I fixed a bunch of annoying issues: - Console window no longer pops up briefly when running shortcuts. - Fixed issue with preview video sound being audible after launching a game. - When exiting a game we now navigate back to where you were when the command was received instead of landing on the game's details page. This prevents accumulating a large back history when launching multiple games from the stream deck. - Improved how we detect when a game exits. Previously, game exit wouldn't always get detected which would lock us out from getting additional commands until the selection was changed. - Updated instructions to not use AHK scripts for Stream Deck shortcuts. Scripts are unnecessary because you can just pass the required parameters to CLI_Launcher.exe when setting up the Stream Deck button. @TapeWorm, @Vitaly17 I believe both of you switched to the "without_menu" version of the launch command because of a couple of the issues above. You should now be able to switch back to the regular launch command (so that Marquees and Blinky update more reliably).

DemmyTree Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 love the updates rob, just a curiousity, is there a command to get back to the Platform View / Playlist view root menu's or lets say change to the game center view? i partly assume it may be a playlist style thing but im not certain what it would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do plan on adding more commands soon, so I will add those if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemmyTree Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 fair enough just to confirm, the update also has hidden the command prompt when running from macrodeck so thats lovely if only they had a batch program to compile buttons for stuff like streamdeck/macrodeck haha, thats always the downside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TapeWorm Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Thanks @superrob3000, and your trick worked for stopping the video-playback in the background. Your ears must have been burning because I had just created a somewhat related topic on the dev board yesterday around the preview videos playing in the background.

Your ears must have been burning because I had just created a somewhat related topic on the dev board yesterday around the preview videos playing in the background. Yeah I saw that. I had run into the same issue. Seems to be a bug where if you use the plugin API to first show a game and then use it to play the game before its preview video fully loads on the game details screen, then the preview video audio will play in-game. I was able to figure out a somewhat convoluted workaround though (launch the game first and only navigate to it once BigBox is no longer the active window).

If I recall correctly you had previously turned off Blinky in LaunchBox and were instead handling it via rocket launcher and bat file. Do you still have it off in LaunchBox?

Then I decided to include it in launchbox because I wanted the button animations to change when changing games in the bigbox menu. I just didn't use the launch_without_menu function.

If you message me your log file (LaunchBox/Logs/CLILauncher.txt) I'll take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemmyTree Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 got a suggestion for a command, something like a Timer, i dont know if could be applied but something like if you set Timer to 1H/30m/40s it will play the game, give 10 minute warning when its about to end and then quits when the timers up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try out version 8.0.1: - Added a new option "-t=num_minutes" that can be passed to the launch commands. The game will be launched and then automatically closed after the specified number of minutes. By default it will attempt to use the ESC key to exit the game, but for games where that won't work (e.g Windows games) then you can also pass "-altf4" to tell it to use Alt-F4 to exit instead. - Added a new option "-all" that can be passed to the platform command instead of a specific platform. This will take you to the platform/playlist root menu. There is no warning right now before exiting the game, but if you explain how you intend to use this timer feature it might help me decide how to implement it.

DemmyTree Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 i was thinking the thought of kids who say 'Five more minutes' or if only have a limited time of playing games could use this as a way to make sure your not going over by having a warning that time is almost up and then can prepare or try find a save position. granted this is more likely for arcade games due to repeat play but can be applied to others 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
