I love how you can create view by console and view by genre screens with Advanced Launcher, yet RCB seemingly does not support this. Is it possible to use both, or will I wind up with a mess?

At any rate, I think I'll download both.

One simply gives the standard windows dialog for 'exe has stopped working'. This particular file has some unusual info on the 'target' field of the shortcut (which may be causing the problem, I'm not sure exactly how to feed that info into the AutoIt script). The exact target is:

Code:

X:\Games\PC\Gauntlet\binaries\gauntlet.exe -bundle-dir contents -ini settings

The other game states, in a generic 'Error' dialog: 'Failed to initialize client - unable to load game resources.' There doesn't seem to be anything funky going on with the target for this one, and running the exe from the folder launches the game fine (the first one gives the same 'stopped working' error message if you try to run from the game folder)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

openvpn --config /storage/downloads/openvpn/East.ovpn --auth-user-pass /storage/downloads/openvpn/password.txt &

The log file shows:

I had this working on my last setup, but stupidly forgot to document exactly how I did it. Can anyone spot my mistake?

Thanks

Anyone have vpn (or other) scripts setup in AL? Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm using Advanced Launcher on my Zotac box with OpenElec. I have set it up to look for SNES Roms and it has imported them with covers and fanart just fine.
However, when I attempt to launch a game it does nothing. I am using RetroArch for my emulator, should I be using anything else?

Details: I created a new category called "PC" and filled it with executables/shortcuts to games. I then scraped/defined all info for each one. When clicking on both the "PC" category and the game thumbnails and searching for each criteria it comes up blank.

(2014-10-18, 05:39)S3N1L3AN1MAL Wrote: Also, is it possible to create a query launcher that searches both genre and platform (for example: NES Shooters)?

I know little of coding, but would this work?

Code:

<args>ActivateWindow(10001,"plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?NintendoEntertainmentSystem/%%SEARCH_PLATFORM%%/?Shooter/%%SEARCH_GENRE%%)</args>
