AUTO-LOAD list: how to ADD games?

Post by DonULFonso »

How do I add games to the auto-load list? There must be a way to do so, surely?

DonULFonso,

The autoload function works when the developer adds TrackIR support into the game.

What game are you trying to autoload?

I'm talking about games that are not enhanced just as well. For instance, I'm using the TrackIR via TrackMapper in OFP, RtCW, and other games that allow to either lean sideways or look around via the keypad.

At the moment I have to manually start TrackIR and load a profile, then manually start TrackMapper and again load a profile. It would be nice if this could be shortened a little.

Basically I'm just asking whether there's a way to 'link' a specific executable to a specific profile to automatically be loaded when this .exe is run. If not, could something to allow this be added for future versions (e.g. via a plain text .ini or .cfg file)?

When a game is started it sends a developers ID back to the TrackIR interface. TrackIR then knows what game has started and loads the correct profile.

I would need to look at this a little more, but my first thought is no, without the return code from the game TrackIR has no idea what game has been started.
