Batch file to launch ED support apps?

[JohnLuke]

Hey guys,

As we all know, there are several supporting programs that many of us run with E-D.

Some that come to mind.....

ED Market Connector
SSchanger
E-D Launder
ED Tracker Pro
OpenTrack
Fraps

...etc, etc.

Anywho.... back in the day, I used to be able to make a batch file to launch all of this kind of stuff, rather than clicking 5 icons before I can play.

I tried to make a batch file for Windows 10 based on some Google results, but it's not working. When I run the batch file, it just opens 5 new DOS windows. Any tips from the geeks in the audience? Is there a way to launch all of my E-D supporting programs automatically?

Here's my batch file code:

Code: Select all

Title Elite Startup

Start "C:\Program Files (x86)\EDMarketConnector\EDMarketConnector.exe"

Start "D:\3 Elite files\SSChanger\SSChanger.exe"

Start "C:\Frontier\EDLaunch\EDLaunch.exe"

Start "D:\3 Elite files\EDTrackerPro_GUI\UIPro20\EDTrackerPro.exe"

Start "D:\opentrack-stable-2.2 (2)\install\opentrack.exe"

pause


TIA!!

Try That....Prob wont work in 10......

Code: Select all

Title Elite Startup

Start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\EDMarketConnector\EDMarketConnector.exe"

Start "" "D:\3 Elite files\SSChanger\SSChanger.exe"

Start "" "C:\Frontier\EDLaunch\EDLaunch.exe"

Start "" "D:\3 Elite files\EDTrackerPro_GUI\UIPro20\EDTrackerPro.exe"

Start "" "D:\opentrack-stable-2.2 (2)\install\opentrack.exe"

pause

Hmmm just tried something like this....Separating the location and the executable.....

It will launch winamp and tracker....But not powergrid and ED.....Says it cannot find them.....Paths are correct though

Code: Select all

@echo off

cd "E:\Program Files (x86)\ROCCAT\Power-Grid"
start ROCCATPowerGrid.exe

cd "E:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp"
start winamp.exe

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5"
start TrackIR5.exe


cd "P:\Program files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch"
start EDLaunch.exe

exit

Just changed yours to that format...See if it works

Code: Select all

Title Elite Startup

@echo off

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\EDMarketConnector"
start EDMarketConnector.exe

cd "D:\3 Elite files\SSChanger"
start SSChanger.exe

cd "C:\Frontier\EDLaunch"
start EDLaunch.exe

cd "D:\3 Elite files\EDTrackerPro_GUI\UIPro20"
start EDTrackerPro.exe

cd "D:\opentrack-stable-2.2 (2)\install"
start opentrack.exe

exit

Well after changing back to my original thought it all works......

Code: Select all

@echo off

start "" "E:\Program Files (x86)\ROCCAT\Power-Grid\ROCCATPowerGrid.exe"

start "" "E:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\winamp.exe"
 

start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5\TrackIR5.exe"


start "" "P:\Program files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\EDlaunch.exe"


exit

Thanks Kharma!

The way you configured it in your first message worked fine... almost.

It launched everything except Ed Tracker. I went into the executable's properties and copied the path and pasted it into the batch file, but no luck. I opened a 'run' window and pasted the ER Tracker path there, and it launched just fine. Weird. I have the path right, but it won't launch from the batch file. The other 4 programs work fine though!

I'll tinker with it and see if I can figure why that one won't launch.

Thanks for your help!

If you use Voice Attack you can just say "Play Elite" and have it start all those programs for you, as well as any other changes you want as well.

Of course you have to make the command yourself.

[Cmdr Kharma]

No prob geezer.....A welcome diversion.....

Try the splitting approach with the one that won't run.....

Seems you can use both approaches in conjunction with each other....

You can now set SSChanger to run the EDLauncher and I'm in the process of getting it to launch the game itself (got some timing issues).

If you like I could look at the option to run other apps, shouldn't be too tricky.

+1 to that ^^, I launch TrackerIR, TCE, VoiceAttack, then ED. Sometimes I forget TCE and have to go it all over again. Just found the SSChanger, grabbing now.

Thanks,
