Problems attaching to a game with a launcher (12 Sky)

*short version*
How do you get Inner space to attach to a game that uses a launcher?

*Long version*
Brand new to inter space so I'm sorry if this is answered somewhere and I just haven't been able to find it yet. I came across inner space and thought it would be good for a bot I am trying to write for 12 Sky. 12 Sky is not a supported game, so I went and picked Add Game. First tried to make it launch TwelveSky.exe. This gives an error about parameter, which I'm guessing is missing. So tried having Inner Space run Launcher.exe. I can see the FPS on the Launcher.exe window, I click start and TwelveSky launches. Problem is Inner Space doesn't seem to attach to TwelveSky.exe when it's launched like this. How do I go about making it attach to TwelveSky.exe when Launcher.exe runs it?

Good question. In the past we have had to write custom loaders. Lord of The Ring Online is a good example. This is not to say that you will need a custom loader for this game. There may be a way to call the game executable directly, possably using a commandline switch.

LOTRO uses a launcher written in .NET and on some PCs that causes IS1 to not launch it properly. Launchers themselves are not problematic for IS1. You can launch EQ1, EQ2, Vanguard, Age of Conan, World of Warcraft, etc through their launchers.

In this case, xlilcasper says Inner Space appears to work fine on the launcher -- if that was itself the problem this would not be the case. In order to fix this, I have to test with that specific game, and figure out what the issue is. I will look into it as soon as I can.
