Nice one it makes it a lot neater

Bloodwych · 30 May 2009, 20:29

KG, can you upload the tool again?

I want to add it to the Dopus config in the ClassicWB packs. Perhaps it's best if you permanently attach it to this thread, like rare_j did, to save on future requests!

Bloodwych · 03 June 2009, 11:27

I know you're busy doing your lovely community packs my furry friend, but please KillerG! I want kgiconload!!!!!

killergorilla · 03 June 2009, 12:33

Soryr mate, I missed your previous request

Unfortunately I'm away from my home computer for a few days so I can't upload it anywhere just yet.

If anyone did download it, if you could put it back in the zone for Bloodwych that'd be great.

Retro1234 · 03 June 2009, 12:47

I downloaded it - Back in the Zone
Ive not had a chance to have a look is this something you programmed in E

killergorilla · 03 June 2009, 12:56

Cheers man!

Yeah it's in E. It's only a very simple app though

Retro1234 · 03 June 2009, 13:05

No Worrys

- Yeah look intresting be able to execute from the tooltypes ill look later today. Im curious about E if you have a chance could you point me in the direction of getting started with E.

Bloodwych · 03 June 2009, 13:40

Nice one Boo Boo!

It's ok KG; I knew you'd get around to sorting the request eventually. It's this "I want it now" society we live in. When we ask for something, we expect it straight away.

Anyway, enough of my philosiphizing. I'll get this added to the ClassicWB packs and attach it to this thread in order to save on future requests:

killergorilla · 03 June 2009, 14:03

Nice one mate

If you discover any problems with it (you really shouldn't it's EXTREMELY simple), let me know.

Oh and bear in mind, it works with any icon that has a default tool (and tooltypes if there are any), not just WHDLoad.

This was just what I was looking for as a whdload-newbie

The setup seems very simple, but unfortunately I cannot get it working (testing in winuae). When I select the info-file and click my new button, I get the "clock-icon" for a few seconds and then nothing. Wdload is installed

However I'm not sure about the path mentioned in the earlier post. Does the "SYS" mean kinda system root or what? So, if it says SYS:My Files, the path is system root/My Files? My button executes the following command:

Code:

Execute SYS:MyFiles/kgiconload {s} {f}

The button type is AmigaDOS and WB is set to be in front.

Any clues?

TCD · 05 June 2009, 11:48

Make sure kgiconload is in the folder 'MyFiles' (without the space). Change your line to :

Code:

SYS:MyFiles/kgiconload {s}

That should work then.

Unfortunately it doesn't work

The absolute path to the script (shown in Dopus) is DH1:MyFiles/kgiconload After I changed the line eveything is the same - nothing happens.

Is there any logs I can check?

TCD · 05 June 2009, 12:14

Sorry, it has to be 'SYS:MyFiles/kgiconload {f}' not '{s}'

Try it again.

BippyM · 05 June 2009, 12:16

emuola are you missing the {f} ?

emuola · 05 June 2009, 12:28

Ok, I tried it with

Execute SYS:MyFiles/kgiconload {f}

...but no

I'm starting to doubt my whdload-installation, or could it be that?

TCD · 05 June 2009, 12:29

Try it from the CLI like KG mentions it in post #20. See if that works.

BippyM · 05 June 2009, 13:36

Do the games run when clicked on the icons?

Could be an issue with WHDload not installed properly!

emuola · 05 June 2009, 13:49

Hi.

Tested a bit further... Whdload definitely works if I run it from cli. Tested with TDII and works fine

If I try to run "kgiconload TestDrive2.info", I get a whdload error 10: bad number. I don't have the slightest idea, what's wrong

BippyM · 05 June 2009, 14:07

Does TDII run from fouble-clicking the icon on workbench?

Sounds like a problem with the icon!

Replace Execute with AmigaDOS, should work then. kgiconload is not a script but an AmigaDOS executable.
