SE4Batch status?

You need to use DOS style folder names. C:\Geosch~1\

Oh wait. I was going to say I tried that, but I think I mistyped. I used C:\Geoschmo~1\. It has to be 8 characters counting the ~1 doesn't it. Let me try that...

[geoschmo]

Nope, "C:\Geosch~1\" doesn't work either. Tried "C:\Geosch~1" as well. Still tells me it can't find the se4.exe.

Aha, thatnks to Aikens comments earlier in this thread I found that I have to manually edit the config dbf file. The batch program seems to run ok in win2k, you just can't edit the configuration through the program, have to manually edit the dbf file.

Also, something wierd. I think this is DOS, not the batch program. My C:\Geoschmo folder I had to rename as C:\Geoschmo Files. This was true even in a DOS cmd window. I could not cd to GEOSCH~1, until I changed the folder to have a two word name. Then I could cd to GEOSCH~1. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it's not a big deal. I only post it here in case anyone else runs into this problem trying to get the batch program to work on win2k.

You can make batch files recognize long filenames, if you include the long filenames in quotes:

cd "c:\games\se4 gold\mods\antares mod preview copy v1.0.0.1"

Geoschmo is 8 characters, so it did not need to be truncated. I am sure you would have been successful with the cd command, and the batch prog dbf file, without changing to "Geoschmo Files", if you had just used "c:\geoschmo".

Uhhh, doh?

[geoschmo]

Oh, here's a problem. I don't see how this batch program could possibly work with 1.91. There is nowhere to put in a game master password, and with 1.91 you have to have a game master password for simultaneous games, no?
