Having trouble adding a new game

bcass · 24 October 2023, 13:26

I'm not familiar with Amiga Workbench conventions so apologies in advance for any simple errors!

I recently purchased the digital version of Reshoot Proxima 3. I installed the game onto SSD "Saves/WHDSaves/MyGames/ReshootProxima3/reshootProxima3". "Saves" is the name of the SSD. I added a favourite entry for another game, and have amended that entry to use with Proxima 3. The entry displays correctly in the MegaAGS menu, but when I select it I get an error:

Code:

Unknown command
failed returncode 10

The .run file looks like this:

Code:

execute "Saves/WHDSaves/MyGames/ReshootProxima3/reshootProxima3"

When I manually navigate to the "reshootProxima3" executable in the Workbench, double clicking on it loads the game as it should. I suspect that this is a simple syntax issue. Can anyone help?

It must be Saves: instead of Saves/

I tried with this:

Code:

execute "Saves:WHDSaves/MyGames/ReshootProxima3/reshootProxima3"

But got this error:

Code:

Copying Copying %s to %s: to: Error opening destination.
rp3.bin: Unknown command
rp3.bin failed returncode 10

I also tried without the "execute" command:

Code:

Saves:WHDSaves/MyGames/ReshootProxima3/reshootProxima3

But that gave the following error:

Code:

Saves:WHDSaves/MyGames/ReshootProxima3/reshootProxima3: file is not executable

Try to use:

c:cd Saves:WHDSaves/MyGames/ReshootProxima3/
c:execute reshootProxima3

Tried that, but get this error:

Code:

Copying Copying %s to %s: to: Error opening destination.

"reshootProxima3" seems to be a script. Check what it does. It may have paths in there that you need to change.

Code:

SETPATCH quiet
IF exists "sys:prefs/env-archive/sys/NV_Location"
	SKIP nv_exists
ELSE
	MAKEDIR sys:NonVolatile >nil:
	ECHO sys:NonVolatile >sys:prefs/env-archive/sys/NV_Location
ENDIF
LAB nv_exists

rp3.bin
QUIT

You could try

Quote:

Saves:WHDSaves/MyGames/ReshootProxima3/rp3.bin

in the .run file.

That works - many thanks!

Great game BTW, definitely a recommended purchase. Easily the best STG on the Amiga that manages to avoid all the "Euroshmup" tropes that plague most Amiga games of this genre.

If I want to add an existing WHDLoad pacakage (The Executioner), is the procedure the same as above, but this time put it in Data/WHD/G/E/ ? Do I still need to manually add the entry to MegaAGS by copying an existing entry and adjusting it?
