| + | This is a tutorial for making a custom Windows shortcut for Doomsday, courtesy of [[http://dengine.net/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1082|code120]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Open the Doomsday Frontend, press //Alt+C// to get the command line ("Preview command line"). | ||
| + | - Paste everything in a text editor (e.g., Notepad 2) and join all lines (select all & //Ctrl+J//), select all & copy. | ||
| + | - Create a **.bat** file in the Doomsday folder, with the following commands (paths are examples):<code>D:\Doomsday\bin\Doomsday.exe -basedir... (paste here the joined command line)</code> | ||
| + | - Save the file. | ||
| + | - Create in the same dir a **.js** (Javascript) file with the commands (replace "filename.bat" with the name of your bat file): | ||
| + | var WindowStyle_Hidden = 0 | ||
| + | var objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") | ||
| + | var result = objShell.Run("cmd.exe /c filename.bat", WindowStyle_Hidden) | ||
| + | |||
| + | This will suffice, you'll maybe want to create a shortcut to the **.js** file and have a custom icon. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can actually skip the js passage, but when you launch the **.bat** file directly a command prompt window will stay on the background, the js will make it hide. | ||
