7th Heaven / Re: Is a one click launch possible?

« on: 2020-05-02 02:23:32 »

I've got it starting easily enough.  I put "7th Heaven.exe" as the application path, and "/PROFILE:Default /LAUNCH" in the command line parameters.  To keep the startup pretty I overrode the default start screen settings to hide all windows that aren't exclusively fullscreen.

The UAC prompt still pops up.  UAC can be turned off, but that creates a security hole.  I haven't figured this out yet.

I created the following .bat file and set it in the 7th Heaven -> Settings -> Game Launcher -> Programs to Run Prior to FF7

Code: [Select]

@echo off
sleep 60
:check
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq ff7.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "ff7.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" (goto check) else "7th Heaven.exe" /Quit
Everything works fine, save for UAC.

Is there a hotkey for "Play" by chance?  If there were I can create a Windows Task Schedule that could bypass UAC (NFITC1's link), launch a schedule shortcut, auto-hotkey "Play", and leave everything else as is.

I've gone through the task scheduler workaround.  It allows starting 7th Heaven without UAC, but it breaks the auto launch of FF7.  I'm starting to think that getting around UAC is not the solution and am trying to find a way to autokey through it instead.

Ah yes.  The "it's right in front of me and I missed it" problem.  Of course I missed the notify button. 

Sweet having quit work now, and the addition of mini.  I'll use them in my batch while I continue bashing my head against UAC.

Sorry for not replying before.  I wish this site notified of responses to posts, but that is my issue.  After a couple of days I forgot I asked the question.

Anyways, I've tried the new 7th Heaven (Magnificent!) and the batch shortcut works...ish.  The issue is with Windows UAC, the bane of many.  There are ways to get around UAC, but they don't work with the batch, or at least I haven't figured out a way to get them to work together.

Thanks again for the command line shortcut and you and the entire teams work on 7th Heaven.

7th Heaven / Is a one click launch possible?

I am wondering if it would be possible for modded FF7 to be launched without having to go through the 7th Heaven GUI?  I understand the need to use it when setting up the mods, but after I have a working setup it would be nice to be able to use something like a batch file to launch my setup without having to go through the GUI.  This way I could launch my modded FF7 setup directly from a third party app, in my case Launchbox.
