Can someone show me how to run multiple files with a bat file on Arch linux?

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 1:45 AM

guys please help?

colossal-harlequin•11/16/23, 1:57 AM

you don't, what you want are bash scripts or .sh files

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 2:20 AM

make a .bat file in your game folder with your version of the following contents:

@echo off
start Trainer.exe
start Game.exe

@echo off
start Trainer.exe
start Game.exe

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 2:21 AM

set the .bat file as the alternative exe

colossal-harlequin•11/16/23, 2:21 AM

you can run .bat files on linux?

colossal-harlequin•11/16/23, 2:21 AM

oh of course you can as long as it's through wine

colossal-harlequin•11/16/23, 2:22 AM

i feel dumb lol

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 2:22 AM

here's guacamelee 2 complaining that there's an existing instance of the game after running the game's exe and a copy of the exe

Ccolossal-harlequin you can run .bat files on linux?

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 2:23 AM

yeah, so long as they're not too complex

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 2:23 AM

calling two exes is nothing though

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 2:24 AM

that's the extent of all I'd use bats for

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 3:42 AM

Thanks Guys..will try that and let u know

Nnursing-lime make a .bat file in your game folder with your version of the following contents...

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 4:54 AM

So I did exactly that and the game run without the trainer :wha:

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 4:55 AM

without any context, I can't provide any input

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 4:58 AM

Ok..so the game is Assassins Creed Black Flag I just wanted a game that has a working trainer..the trainer is fling trainer and it run by itself And I made the bat file in the format u suggested and the game run without the trainer

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 4:59 AM

I don't know what Im doing wrong since the game run successfully

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 5:00 AM

still needs more context. file locations, file names, etc.

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 5:00 AM

does the trainer require additional dependencies?

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 5:00 AM

test it by using "Run EXE in prefix"

Nnursing-lime test it by using "Run EXE in prefix"

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 5:18 AM

I did run exe in prefix and now the trainer run but the game dosen't

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 5:23 AM

is there a better solution for Linux other than running a standalone trainer..I get it that some people have succeeded in running such trainers but we need more reliable way in modding single-player games without all this hustle

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 5:25 AM

SteamTinkerLaunch is useful for this for games on Steam as it is better with concurrent exes than hacking around with batches

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 5:25 AM

but for the third time, I cannot help without more context

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 5:26 AM

what info you'd like to know?

Nnursing-lime still needs more context. file locations, file names, etc.

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 5:26 AM

this for starters

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 5:27 AM

contents of your .bat in its entirety

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 5:29 AM

Here is my bat file and all files located in one folder :

@echo off
start Assassins Creed IV Black Flag v1.07 Plus 30 Trainer.exe
start AC4BFSP.exe

@echo off
start Assassins Creed IV Black Flag v1.07 Plus 30 Trainer.exe
start AC4BFSP.exe

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 5:30 AM

rename the trainer exe to get rid of that period in the middle, or simply rename it trainer.exe

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 5:35 AM

testing it now, you may be better off just renaming the file. using quotes didn't work for me earlier with files with spaces

Nnursing-lime rename the trainer exe to get rid of that period in the middle, or simply rename...

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 5:37 AM

How could I miss that..it worked flawlessly..Thank u so much :Pandayay:

instant-harlequinOP•11/16/23, 5:38 AM

marked as solved..Thanks to @termdisc

nursing-lime•11/16/23, 5:39 AM

Glad you got it working

Ccolossal-harlequin you don't, what you want are bash scripts or .sh files

wispy-olive•11/16/23, 3:17 PM

You just set it as the alternate exe in heroic settings

Wwispy-olive You just set it as the alternate exe in heroic settings

colossal-harlequin•11/16/23, 3:17 PM

Read further, I know now lol

wet-aqua•12/5/23, 4:25 AM

This is great, this is exactly what I was looking for.

wet-aqua•12/5/23, 2:20 PM

So in Heroic I should change the game path to the new .bat file?
Also some games .exe are located in sub-folders. where do I put the bat file?

Wwet-aqua So in Heroic I should change the game path to the new .bat file? Also some games...

wispy-olive•12/5/23, 2:21 PM

You change the alternate exe to be the bat file

wispy-olive•12/5/23, 2:21 PM

It can be anywhere

wet-aqua•12/5/23, 2:23 PM

Great..I am about to test with in an hour.
I will provide updates on how it works.
Thanks you.

Wwispy-olive You change the alternate exe to be the bat file

wet-aqua•12/5/23, 3:25 PM

It works like a charm, I can't believe it...I have been searching for a solution for almost a year and sold my LCD SteamDeck because I was unable to use Trainer on Linux... Thank all of you for the help..

wispy-olive•12/5/23, 3:44 PM

No problem!

wet-aqua•12/20/23, 7:29 PM

@QuadRadical (Ping on reply) Hi sorry to bothered you you, it possible to create a script to open two different programs in different folders?

wispy-olive•12/20/23, 7:29 PM

Yeah you can modify it easily

wet-aqua•12/20/23, 7:31 PM

Please how

wet-aqua•12/20/23, 7:34 PM

@echo off
start Assassins Creed IV Black Flag v1.07 Plus 30 Trainer.exe
start AC4BFSP.exe

@echo off
start Assassins Creed IV Black Flag v1.07 Plus 30 Trainer.exe
start AC4BFSP.exe

wet-aqua•12/20/23, 7:35 PM

This works if they are in the same folder but if the second file is in a different folder it doesn't work.

nursing-lime•12/20/23, 7:51 PM

spell out the path to the .exe then

nursing-lime•12/20/23, 7:52 PM

z:\

z:\

is root if you need it

Nnursing-lime spell out the path to the .exe then

wet-aqua•12/20/23, 8:39 PM

What if the .exe is in the same directory as the game folder but in a separate folder
