mIRC Snippet:  F0x's Game Launcher v1.0

One problem I do see with this script is that (as you stated in the Introduction), what if the person did not save the game to that directory? You should allow them to locate the .exe file manually using $sfile and setting a variable. This would make it a lot easier then having to type it all out.

Here's an example using $sfile:

Code:

dialog example {
  title "Example"
  size -1 -1 144 58
  option pixels
  button "Find...", 1, 8 34 46 19
  button "Run", 2, 85 33 46 19
  edit "", 3, 8 10 127 20, autohs
}
on *:dialog:example:sclick:1:{
  set %Exam $sfile($mircdir*.exe,Locate Game .exe...,Open)
  did -ar example 3 %Exam
}
on *:dialog:example:sclick:2:{
  .run $did(example,3).text
}

Oops. That was using a dialog. Here's using menu's...:

Code:

menu menubar {
  Example
  .GameName
  ..Find Location:set %Exam $sfile($mircdir*.exe,Locate Game .exe...,Open)
  ..Run:.run %Exam
}

Hmm, yeah, something must be wrong with it :|
* /run: unable to open 'C:WINDOWSsystem32spider.exe'
* /run: unable to open 'C:Program FilesElectronic ArtsBattlefield 2142 DemoBF2142.exe'
* /run: unable to open 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMidtown Madness 2Midtown2.exe'

Or you could just make it:

Code:

alias game.run { 
 var %sfile $$sfile(C:,Choose game/file you wish to run)
 run %sfile
}


That simple.

This snippet isn't too great, I'm sorry. You seem to assume other users have these demos/games installed (some are) to the snippet user's computer, or you just got this code from your personal remotes. As the others have already said, it would be much more compatible to use a code as this:

Code:

menu channel {
  Run application:{
   var %t $$sfile(C:,Choose an file/application to run:)
   run %t
  }
}

Ah, I am sorry for my mistake. I didn't see that. It would still require a lot of work beforehand to use this snippet. As I said, it would be easier to have a user just run a selected program.
