Standalone lwa player

<< < (3/6) > >>

Space Fractal:
It should of course been command line to start and stop the animation, so it can been stopped when the command have been sent. It could even been maybe using the clipfolder to doing that task (since Randy did cheking that way I remember when he released the original software)... Hince creating a bunch of bath files to control the player.

Since I do not own a LedWiz, I have not been much in that scene, even it a great peace of hardware.

Howard_Casto:
Probably a more immediate option is just to use mamehooker.  It doesn't support lwa files, but it has it's own scripting format that is very similar, so similar that a crafty person could probably figure out a way to convert lwa files to mhs (mame hooker script) files.  You can send multiple commands seperated by a comma, so with one line you tell it to run multiple scripts and when one is finished it'll go to the other until done.

It has dde and command line support (current command line support is a tad flaky but that'll be fixed very very soon).


Remember guys, mamehooker can do just about anything, it isn't just for controlling outputs in mame anymore. :D

But before we go to all that trouble common sense check!  Umm lwa files are just text files, why don't you just merge them all into one file?

I didn't know that as I have never tried to edit one  :dunno but trying to copy & paste all the text from over 75-80 lwa files doesn't sound appealing to me  :hissy: I hope Loadman will mod his lil app for me that would be really cool  :cheers: if not looks like I will have to stop being lazy roll up my sleeves and get to it. Thanx  8)

Yeah...   I did it last night...  It had one minor bug so I will squash it and send in the next coupla days  ;)

Howard_Casto:
I hadn't realized anybody actually used randy's tool to be honest.  Seemed like a good idea to me so I've also added support into mame hooker.  It'll be in the next release, which should be out soon.
