Thread: Paralleport Switch

This is gonna be very useful to me, thanks for sharing. But I don't get where each file goes. The .exe and .ini files shod be in rr\skins\skin folder\scripts\parallelport. But what about the .dll?
Also, I need it to run in the main menu, so I put an "onskinstart","RUN..." line in the execTBL.ini. But i get an autoIt error: Line 946... the requested action with this object has failed. This will also make multiple instances of the script, each time I change skins. So I'm definitely on the wrong track here.

Thanks.

I look that as soon as possible !

Ho i see,
Put all skin file into you skin folder.
Put the exe , the ini and the dll like that:
C:\Program Files\Ride Runner\Skins\Carwings_Dynamic_Lite\Scripts\ParallelPort\

Finally I had a spare pc to test this properly.

Put a line in the "readme" about editing the execTBL.ini (for carwings).

The plug-in doesn't automatically start with the skin.

Some input and output pins will be HIGH at system star-up. An earlier version of parallel port control got around this by placing a killport.exe in the star-up folder.

DATA and CONTROL labels give the impression that they are Input and, respectively, Output. Wheel it is exactly the opposite.

The "set bits" command has to go. It has to be clicked every time a setting is changed. And it's especially confusing as the indicators are lighting up and nothing has changed... Oh!, is that OK button again...

I still get the autoit error: "Line 946... the requested action with this object has failed" on exit.

send me your exectbl.ini file please !
In your exectbl.ini file, you can add these lines:
"RUNPARAPORT","BYVAR;PARAPORT;<<PARAON
"PARAON","SETVAR;PARAPORT;1||CMDEXE2||ACTIVATEDCMD "
"PARAOFF","SETVAR;PARAPORT;0||CMDEXE2OFF||DEACTIVA TEDCMD"

and into the ONSKINSTART, please add , RUNPARAPORT .

There are 2 files: "exectbl" is the rideruner's file and "carwings exectbl" is from the skin folder.

You must to modify only the exectbl.ini that is under your skin folder:

Code:

/, This (OPTIONAL) file contains translation commands.
/, RR will accept the commands defined on the LEFT
/, and execute them as expressed on the RIGHT
/, you can use this to create or redefine any command
/, (or to add functionality to any syandard command).
/,
/, The Format of this file is (by choice):
/,
/, "<COMMAND>","<EXEC COMMAND>"
/, "<COMMAND>","<EXEC COMMAND>",filename.skin
/,
/, Examples:
/, "AUDIO","LOAD;audio_player.skin;Audio Player"
/, "RESTARTSONG","SEEKTO;00:00",audio_player.skin
/,
/, Extas:
/, XM, FM and MM can be used instead of a skin file
/, to be translated when XM, FM or MM is turned ON.
/,
/, PLAY, PAUSE and STOP can be used instead of skin
/, file name so it executes commands based on MP3 or
/, Video playback status.
/, You can add commands to execute before suspend
/, and after resume, using the codes bellow:

Still no go... And I have an issues with this:

"RUNPARAPORT","BYVAR;PARAPORT;<<PARAON" - there is nothing to link it to the app, something like $apppath&.

This is my fault, you don't need to add something into the exectbl.ini file
Create a button with this line !
"MyApp24","load;paraport.skin||run;$skinpath$Scrip ts\ParallelPort\parallelport.exe" .

That launch the .exe and you can now use all command found into the paraport.skin screen !

I am sorry !!!
