PCLauncher - I need to send an F key press for full screen

[mascat]

Hi! I'm using PCLauncher to launch Mad Dog McCree and it starts fine but in windowed mode. How would I send an "f" keyboard command after fade to go in to full screen? There are no options to stay in full screen within the exe. It also looks like the key remap of the left and right mouse buttons using AHK isn't being received by the exe but works in keymapper test. Thanks for any help!

Easiest thing to try would be to make an AHK script to do that.

Something like (not sure this is 100% correct)

Sleep 30
Send, f
Close

Save it as an exe and put it in as a postlaunch application.

...But why are you running Mad Dog through PCLauncher instead of Daphne Singe? Nevermind, I'm guessing it's actually the PC version you're using.

Yeah I'm running the PC version. I wonder if there is a way to run it within Daphne Singe?

 

I'll try your recommendation tonight but I'm still unsure as to how to enter the script as a postlaunch application?

 

Thanks for your reply Metalzoic.

It would have to be the arcade version to run through Daphne Singe far as I know.

You would just add the ahk.exe into the postlaunch setting right there in the module settings. Same place all your other PCLauncher settings are.

I don't see where I could add an exe. This is the window I'm looking at.

Yes that's it right there. The Postlaunch setting is right there in your picture.

Doesn't have to be an exe. Can just be an ahk or bat file I believe.

I can type in the field but can't attach anything. I'm obliviously being dense....

You don't attach anything. You could type the full path, but just click the browse button and browse to where your script.ahk, .exe, .bat etc... that you need is located.

[mascat]

Yup, I was being dense (and tired). I was looking at the post launch parameters. Duh. So I read up on using AHK and finally compiled an exe (ahk file wasn't working) using:

 

WinWaitActive, Crime Patrol,

Send, f

Return

 

All is working great once I selected it in the Postlaunch field. Oh, and the left/right mouse button mapping is now working once I set ahk method to internal.

 

Thanks for sticking with me Metalzoic!

Nice, glad you got it figured out.
