Any tutorials for how to setup Gilan's Encounter Counter as a batch with PokeMMO?

[SphealTeamSix]

Is there a tutorial on properly setting this up with PokeMMO in a batch file? It's quite annoying to start up GEC, then start up PokeMMO and have the counter not overlaid and running, and restart everything until it lines up correctly, sometimes requiring multiple tries.

@echo off
start "" "FULL_PATH_TO_GEC.EXE"
start "" "FULL_PATH_TO_POKEMMO.EXE"
exit

 

Place it in the "data/mods/Gilian's Encounter Counter/GEC" folder.

 

Then use any method to pin it to the taskbar if you fancy that.

I had problems using the standard way with using a shortcut, so I opted for the Toolbar method.

Sorry but place what exactly? I'm not sure how or where I'm supposed to insert that code string.

In a batch file, that was what you wanted, right? Or did I misunderstand?

No, you had it right, I just don't know how to do a batch file. I think I attempted it at one point and did it wrong so I don't recall the process.

Ah you bet! Make a .txt file, paste it there, and then change the extension of the file to .bat instead. Either by "save as" and changing the file type to "all" and adding ".bat" to the end of the name, or by simply renaming it in the file explorer while "show file extensions" is turned on.

 

Hope it helped 😄
