I've been trying to figure out how to make a program that opens DF and the On-Screen Keyboard at the same time. There's a thread here if you really want to read it:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=162025&b=10

But basically, I'm playing on a laptop and I can't use the + - things without the numpad. So I use the on-screen keyboard. But I'm really lazy so I'd rather just click one thing. I'm trying to use a batch file now. It works, but when DF is opened from the batch file I get an error that says the index file isn't in the data folder, when it is. However if I open DF by clicking on it directly it works. What?

If you guys have any advice, I'd appreciate it. My batch file reads like this:

C:\Windows\system32\osk.exe
C:\Users\Tommy\Desktop\Stuff\gayms\df_28_181_40d\dwarfort.exe
exit

I just experimented with this.  You need to use "cd" to switch to the DF directory first, like so:

cd "C:\Users\Tommy\Desktop\Stuff\gayms\df_28_181_40d"
dwarfort.exe

Badass, works perfectly. Thanks man.

Un an unrelated note, I once tried to make a batch file check the routers IP (192.168.1.1, 1.0, 0.1 or 0.0).
Didn't succeed, it's quite quirky :p

Code: [Select]

@echo off
ECHO --------------------------------
ECHO Checking if it's 192.168.0.0...
ping -n 1 192.168.0.0
