Windows script help?

[91Chris]

Hello. Can someone help me make a script please?

When Windows launches I want a program (TShock Terraria server) to launch with administrative privileges. Once launched I want it to start up the world, select the ports etc.

 

The server runs in a CMD window.

To select which world I want I use the number keys, then hit enter. Then I use the default port so I just hit enter again to start it.

 

Is it possible to automate this? Can anyone help?

 

Cheers,

Chris.

 

EDIT: Here is a linux script that does what I want... Only In linux...

#!/bin/shscreen -S terrarias-A -m \    mono-sgen TerrariaServer.exe \    -world "Terraria/Worlds/world1.wld" \    -config "tshock/config.json" "tshock/config.json" \    -killinactivesocket \    -connperip 3

Obviously I don't need mono as I'm in Windows.

Why bother? just make a .bat file and do this:

There is rich information out there to be had.

Thanks. I used that information along with some I found to successfully make a .bat that runs at startup. I also set the .exe to always launch as admin.

 

Here it is...

start "" "TerrariaServer.exe" -ignoreversion -port 7777 -world "C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Terraria\Worlds\first_go.wld"

Cheers,

Chris.
