Sacred w/ rmps and script (1.6.6)

[CongoMan]

i used to play sacred with an rmps copy and, since 1.6 in conjunction with daemonscript, as described in some other thread.

today i read a lot about blacklists of daemonscript. though i cannot conform this, i wrote a small script for the windows scriptting host. perhaps you'll need to adjust the folder to correctly locate the d-tools.
place in in your game folder and execute it. needs windows scripting host to run. wonder if they'll blacklist that, too!

save the following as sacred.js in your game folder
//SCRIPT
RunSacred();
function RunSacred()
{
var WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
var i;

WSHShell.Run("c:\\Programme\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe -rmps on",1,1)
WSHShell.Run("sacred.exe",1,0)

for (i=0; i<50; i++)
{
WScript.Sleep(500)
WSHShell.Run("c:\\Programme\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe -rmps on")
}

}
//END SCRIPT

works fine!

Sacred w/ rmps and script

Good idea, but still doesn't work for me.

CongoMan, are you using burned CD or just mounted image?

[CongoMan]

as i said, i am using a BURNT rmps copy. btw, i do have alc120 installed. works anyway. i have never managed to get it working from image.

[Wlk]

Burned with Alc120% and New VOB 5+ profile selected?

[CongoMan]

yep!

Hi there,

I'm new here, and my english is not very good (sorry for that) :wink:

My back up CD of Sacred doesn't work, and I want to try with the script, but I don't know how to write it (using note pad or another). What's the tools I need to make the script ?

Tx

Edit ---> I read it's Deamonscript, but do you have a tutorial for the newbie am I ? :oops:

[duhh]

fro those having problems

FaithNoMore:
You need windows scripting host http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

This has nothing to do with daemon script, its an alternative to using it.

Simply copy the above text into notepad and save it as sacred.js , place it in your sacred directory adn run it

There is a slight error in the script though.... command line options should be issued OUTSIDE of the quotes, not inside...


WSHShell.Run("c:\\Programme\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe -rmps on",1,1) should be
WSHShell.Run("c:\\Programme\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe" -rmps on,1,1)

obviously correcting the path as necissary. Try running it from command line .. first go into daemon and turn all emulation options off

"c:\program files\D-Tools\daemon.exe -rmps on" errors,
"c:\program files\D-Tools\daemon.exe" -rmps on turns it on ....

The script never worked for v1.6.6 US but alcohol 120% (new version, 1.9.2 b1705) works with Sacred and you can even mount the disc. I'm hoping a new version of d-tools is out soon.

[Twisted EndZ]

Well it did work that one time and now it won't load up again with Alcohol using emulation. Disc and mounting don't work for me.

anyone else notice that there are two sacred.exe files running when you execute the game in taskbar?

Hi there... I gave it shot with windows script thingy, but I encountered a problem.... I downloaded and installed the script program from microsoft.com, And I change the few lines in the script congoman posted, furthermore, I have renamed it, and put it in my sacred folder.. when I try to launch the script, it comes up with the following error:

Windows script host:
script: D:\Sacred\sacred.js
Line : 8
Symbol: 58
error: The symbol ")" was expected
Code: 800A03EE
Source: A Microsoft JScript-compilationerror occured

please help
thanks in advance

[Kynaeus]

Same with Sicarius, except it was on character 47; the script thing didn't work for me either.

Although I'm only on 1.0 of Sacred, does the version matter?

Heres what I have in the script, and I did download that microsoft thing you posted:

//SCRIPT
RunSacred();
function RunSacred()
{
var WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
var i;

WSHShell.Run("D:\Program Files\D-tools" -rmps on,1,1)
WSHShell.Run("D:\Sacred\sacred.exe",1,0)

for (i=0; i<50; i++)
{
WScript.Sleep(500)
WSHShell.Run("D:\Program Files\D-tools" -rmps on)
}

}
//END SCRIPT

Any help?

Sacred from version 1.0 to 1.5 works fine from an image with dt346. only 1.6 and above makes some trouble.

Here, my friend knows some Java and was helping out with this:

//SCRIPT
RunSacred();
function RunSacred()
{
var WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
var i;

WSHShell.Run("\"D:\\D-tools 4.36\\daemon.exe\" -rmps on",1,1);
WSHShell.Run("D:\\Sacred\\sacred.exe",1,0);

for (i=0; i<50; i++)
{
WScript.Sleep(500);
WSHShell.Run("\"D:\\D-tools 4.36\daemon.exe\" -rmps on");
}

}
//END SCRIPT

As usual, change the directories to match your own.
