Lax, can you walk me though an autoscript for teamspeak?

I can start ISXteamspeak through the console, but want it to autostart. I searched for this on the forums and saw that you said something about making an autoexec for the game in the options and creating a file. What are the commands for this autoexec? Its for eq1 and your teamspeak script. Thanks!

Yes that is correct. However, you can set up a "command file" -- a file that just contains commands you dont want to type each time. For example, the above commands

Code:
ext isxteamspeak
run teamspeakhud

You have two choices if you want to use a command file:
1. A file that will automatically run
or
2. A file that you run using the "ExecuteFile" command
Either is perfectly acceptable.

If you want it run automatically: create a file called "AutoExec.ice" in your Inner Space folder (it could also go in the Scripts folder, if you prefer. either will be found and used, just not both if it's in two places). Put all the commands in it that you dont want to type each time.

If you dont want it to run automatically: just make any file ending in ".ice", again in either the main folder, or the Scripts folder. Then you would just do the command "ExecuteFile <name>" and it would do all of the commands found in the file.

Ok I tried this, but it wont work for me. I created a text file named AutoExec.ice and put the 2 commands in it:

Code: Select all

ext isxteamspeak 
run teamspeakhud

Do I have to configure the Innerspace Everquest general config in any way under profiles?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure how you managed that

Where did you make the autoexec.ice file?

I'd walk you through it but you already found, and quoted, the post where I explained every step in detail to someone else who successfully got it working.. and I'm not really sure what you're missing unless you misspelled AutoExec.ice, mispelled one of the two commands, didn't put it in one of the two locations given, already had an autoexec.ice in the opposite location, or simply arent restarting the game through IS.

Actually, I do have a guess. The guess is that you have file extensions turned off in windows explorer, and/or the file you created in notepad is "autoexec.ice.txt". If it says the file type is a "Text Document" then it's not right. Tools->Folder Options, View tab, and find the "Hide extensions for known file types" --- UNCHECK that.

Do I have to configure the Innerspace Everquest general config in any way under profiles?

No, not at all. You can leave it default -- UNLESS you want to use a completely different file to auto-run, and you just want it to run when you play EverQuest or a specific EQ profile..

Don't you love operating systems that hide important shit from you?

KFH, If you're implying that Windows does and Linux doesnt... then I'm going to have to say you're confused

"Whoops, wheres my configuration file for this program, it's not in /etc .. uhh.. locate! now, how do i block this ip address.. oh i know, i'll put it in hosts.deny! woops that wont work, programs other than inetd dont actually use that, I need it done at the kernel level because linux isnt smart enough to read in hosts.deny for the kernel level. I need to download iptables or ipchains" and so on.
