AHK help - opening multiple programs at once

[CASSHERN]

Hello,

I'm trying to come up with a macro that would ;

A) Open PartyPlanner
B) Open PT
C) Open PAH
D) Open 6th Sense
E) Open PartyPoker
F) Run AHK script #1
G) Run AHK script #2

When I try to open only one software, I can get the script to work. However, when I try to add more than one software (ie more than one "run" line), only the first software opens ?!

I searched online for sample scripts, but I still can't get it to work ...

Thanks

Post what you have, and we can show you where you went wrong.

It should be pretty straightforward, though. You'll just have G many commands, each of which runs a different app.

Well,

For some reason, "G:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyGaming.exe" won't load party ... I guess we need to use the paramater at the end ;

"G:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyGaming.exe" -P=PartyPoker

So, it works for now ...

I would like to use something similar to this...Could you post the script please?

[donkraft]

This is the bat-file, I use when I play NL cashgame at Party...

cd "C:\Program Files\Poker Tracker V2\"
start ptrack2.exe

cd "C:\Program Files\PokerAce Hud\"
Start PAHud.exe

cd "C:\Games\Poker\PartyGaming\"
Start PartyGaming.exe -P=PartyPoker

cd "C:\Games\Poker\Scripts"
start PartyBetPot05.ahk

cd "C:\Games\Poker\Scripts"
start PokerSeatTaker.ahk

cd "C:\Games\Poker\Scripts"
start Chipreloader.ahk

Adjust paths, scripts etc... You get the idea. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The same code but with PartyGaming.exe didn't open anything. As soon as I add the parameter after the exe file, it works ?! The reste of the code is identic. Weird.

[CASSHERN]

Thanks for the code donkraft ... I didn't know if we could execute scripts like that.

Back in black, I'll post my code but it's likely not work for you since I used the recorder to do some steps, and it records mouse clicks with the coordinates on the screen (ex 198x452). But at least, the code will help you get started. What you can do is use the recorder for only certain steps. For example, you can use the 2 first line as is. Open Party. Run the recorder to get your own login sript, and paste it in the code to replace mine. Then use the recorder for another step.

I'm very new to AHK, so perhaps this could have been done in a better way ...

*** This is for my observed sessions. ***

1 OPEN PARTY
2 OPEN 6TH SENSE
3 Login to party and close pop ups, select my limit in the left pane
4 OPEN FREEPHG
5 OPEN PARTY PLANER (to "hide" all the windows in the same corner)
6 wait 2 mins to let 6th sense finish its scan
7 Sort the 6th sense tables by data, from 0 to 6 (so that the tables with 6 players for which I don't have any data are at the top
8 Open the 12 first tables (via 6th Sense)
9 Close 6th sense

Also, I found that using the default "100" delay between mouse clicks wasn't enough. The pop ups weren't all closed. I don't have any problems with the delays set at 1000. While the computer waits for 6th sense to finish importing hands, I used sounds to keep track of the time ... and make sure the script is still running. This sin't necessary, but, oh welll ...
