    Making a Batch file start up several apps.
    « on: October 29, 2008, 07:09:23 PM »
    I am trying to make a batch file that when clicked on will open several apps and set curtain settings.  When I click it, it needs to first set my ATI overdrive graphics profile to my high performance one.  Then start a program that increases the FOV for my widescreen monitor in FarCry2.  Then start a trainer program also for farcry and if at all possible auto set infinite health only (Enemies that are at every intersection are a pain in the rear).  And finally open the game through steam. Here is what I got so far and when click on, just starts up several other dos windows.

    (whatever needs to be in here to load catalyst profile)
    start "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\far cry 2\FOV.exe"
    start "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\far cry 2\train.exe"
    start "D:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 19900

    Thanks in advance.

      Here is what I got now and it works flawlessly, however I still don't understand how to load a Catalyst Control Center profile in batch. 

      start /d "D:\Fraps" Fraps.exe
      start /d "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\far cry 2" FOV.exe
      start /d "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\far cry 2" train.exe
      "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\far cry 2\bin\farcry2.exe"
      taskkill /im fraps.exe -f
      taskkill /im FOV.exe
      taskkill /im train.exe

        Never mind sorry I posted way to soon.  Figured it out myself.  So if anyone else every googles this here is what the final is:

        "D:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\CLI.exe" Start Load profilename="Gaming"
        start /d "D:\Fraps" Fraps.exe
        start /d "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\far cry 2" FOV.exe
        start /d "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\far cry 2" train.exe
        "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\far cry 2\bin\farcry2.exe"
        "D:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\CLI.exe" Start Load profilename="Default"
        taskkill /im fraps.exe -f
        taskkill /im FOV.exe
        taskkill /im train.exe
