If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Execute file/script from console while in-game?

Post by rat_taxi »

Hello all, first post. Long time listener first time caller. etc.

Is it possible to execute a .bat file or script from the console that's within the running GZDoom directory? Say I've got a .bat file with a set of commands that I'd like for the console to execute in sequence, each separated with a carriage return - is this possible to do? I've tried [>.\file.bat] and the like, but no dice.

I've played around with the console commands and read some documentation, but haven't found anything concrete.

Any suggestions?
