Project Tempest script problem

Hi, I got the mGalaxy_Script.exe for Project Tempest, but it doesn't work for me.
It auto inserts the path to the rom file, but I get a error that it can't find the file.
I knowthis the path name starts with:
When i remove the " in the path name manualy after closing the error message it
does work:
So my question is can some one change the script so it doesn't do a " in the path.
Here's the script that I used:
Code: Select all
;Parsing
Local $count = StringInStr($CmdLineRaw, ".exe", 0 , 1, 1)
local $app = StringLeft ( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
local $command = StringTrimLeft( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
if not $command then exit 0
hotkeyset("{esc}", "sendKey")
run('"' & $app & '"')
WinwaitActive("Project Tempest")
send("!f")
send("{enter}")
WinwaitActive("Open ROM File")
send($command, 1)
send("{enter}")
WinwaitActive("Project Tempest")
; Start the game (F2).
send("{F2}")
While WinExists("Project Tempest")
Sleep (500)
Wend
exit 0
;[tidy up]
; Stop the game - F3.
; Close Project Tempest.
Func sendKey()
Send ("{F3}")
WinClose("Project Tempest")
exit
Endfunc
Ps. I just knowthis putting a " at the end of the path manualy also works.
(It doesn't put it there automaticly, maybe the enterkey is send to fast?)

It's really strange.
Check in Systems.xml the tempest part is look this one
Code: Select all
<System>
<Name>Atari Jaguar</Name>
<AppPath>F:\emulateur\Atari\Jaguar\Project_tempest\PT.exe</AppPath>
<RomPath>F:\emulateur\Atari\Jaguar\rom</RomPath>
<SnapPath>F:\emulateur\Mgalaxy\snapsemul\jaguar</SnapPath>
<VidPath />
<Emu selected="0">
<Cmd id="0" name="Virtual Jaguar [Script]" value=""%path\%file%ext"" />
<Cmd id="1" name="Project Tempest [Script]" value=""%path\%file%ext"" />
</Emu>
<Extensions>.jag,.zip</Extensions>
<Active>True</Active>
<Script>True</Script>
<Database>False</Database>
</System>
Make a try with this modification in script
if not $command then exit 0
msgbox(64,"info",$command)
hotkeyset("{esc}", "sendKey")
You will have a msgbox with the command passed to the dialog (if all is ok it will be "H:\...."
To try to correct you bug you can try this modification
if not $command then exit 0
$command = $command & '"'
hotkeyset("{esc}", "sendKey")

Thanx,
The Systems.xml is correct.
The msgbox gives right path "H:\...."
But after closing the msgbox its back to no " at end..
The modification gives 2 " at end of path name: "H:\....""
Realy strange :-\
Ps. I got it working now, i send a empty space as the modification:
if not $command then exit 0
$command = $command & ' '
hotkeyset("{esc}", "sendKey")
Works great now, thanx again for the help!

I can't explain this bug, but empty space isn't a problem for emulator, so I think it s a good idea to modify the official script with your modif, to prevent this strange bug.
Can you make a try with this one,pls, it will be the next script.
Code: Select all
;Parsing
Local $count = StringInStr($CmdLineRaw, ".exe", 0 , 1, 1)
local $app = StringLeft ( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
local $command = StringTrimLeft( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
if not $command then exit 0
hotkeyset("{esc}", "sendKey")
run('"' & $app & '"')
WinwaitActive("Project Tempest")
send("!f")
send("{enter}")
WinwaitActive("Open ROM File")
send($command & ' ', 1)
send("{enter}")
WinwaitActive("Project Tempest")
; Start the game (F2).
send("{F2}")
While WinExists("Project Tempest")
Sleep (500)
Wend
exit 0
; Stop the game - F3.
; Close Project Tempest.
Func sendKey()
Send ("{F3}")
WinClose("Project Tempest")
exit
Endfunc

Tested, works perfect
I think the "bug" was like when you type in notepad and enter a " you need to hit space after doing the shift+'

???
What is your window version ?
What is your system nationality ?
Special Keyboard/configuration ?
In notepad like for project tempest, I don't need to hit space, I just press the 3"# key.
At the base it's a "
I need to press shift to have a 3
And alt to have a #

Windows XP Pro, 2002, Service Pack 3

No special keyboard configuration
Only got 2 keys under the 3 key:
At the base its a 3
Shift makes it a #
Alt does nothing

Yep, but it s good to know. I have look for you keyboard, it s really different than mine (french keyboard), on mine really few key need this method to work (^ ¨) but not theses one on number keys.
And yes you are right for the bug, mgalaxy have already modified the script with your technic.
