RetroAchievement Game Direct-Links

View File

Inspired by @AstroBob's Feature Request https://feedback.launchbox.gg/p/retroachievements-icon-and-link-in-game-details-pane 


This plugin will add an Additional Application to your games that will appear as a clickable link in the Game Details panel which directly links to that game on retroachievements.org.

 

 

If using @C-Beats Omni theme, this plugin [mostly**] fulfills this request.  (**just not innately)

It works in the Default theme as well. Just appears differently in the Game Details panel.

This plugin is able to accomplish this without the need to Add RetroAchievements Game Page ID to LaunchBox Games Database.

 


Installing:
Extract the contents of the zip file into /LaunchBox/Plugins/
e.g.  D:\LaunchBox\Plugins\RetroAchievementLinks\RetroAchievementLinks.dll

 

Using:
Click Tools and select Add RetroAchievement Game Links

In the window that opens, select Add Additional Apps.

  • The plugin will scan each game in your collection for a game-specific RetroAchievements Id.
  • If found, an Additional Application and will be created for that game, named RetroAchievements.
  • The Application Path will be the hyperlink to that game on retroachievements.org.
  • When done, a message box will appear indicating as much.
  • Depending on your PC and the size of your collection, this could take 2 - 30 seconds to complete.


If at some point you wish to remove these Additional Apps, click Delete Additional Apps.

  • The plugin will scan each game in your collection for an Additional App called RetroAchievements.
  • If found, it will attempt to remove it.


Note:
If, for whatever reason a game already has an Additional App named RetroAchievements, it will not add a 2nd one of the same name.
On that same note, if you click Delete Additional Apps, ALL Additional Apps named RetroAchievements will be removed.
