Bind Load File Silent


Diggis

 

Posted

I can't get the bind load file silent command to load silently. Is it broken or am I doing something wrong?

numpad0 bindloadfilesilent "C:\binds\MM\all.txt"
numpad1 bindloadfilesilent "C:\binds\MM\Drones.txt"
numpad2 bindloadfilesilent "C:\binds\MM\Probot.txt"
numpad3 bindloadfilesilent "C:\binds\MM\Assbot.txt"

Hmmm, let me check what i have in my bindfiles...
shift+tab "optionset showvillainname 1$$optionset showvillainbars 1$$bindloadfilesilent c:\keybinds\ShowVillain1.txt"

Ah, it goes inside the quotes...
Try that.

It looks fine to me, and i just confirmed in-game that the command still works silently.

Or maybe i'm wrong. 0.o Right then, i have no idea.
Although putting it inside the quotes seems to work.

In your case, the quotes are simply holding several commands together and have nothing to do with the bindfile command at the end.

Quotes shouldn't even be needed with a single command. The quotes in his case are correct if there were a space anywhere in the command path. It should work with or without them... unless he's using the wrong kind of quotes in the actual file. I've seen cases where people use a text editor that has the special curly quotes in the files, which wont work.

Bind files are picky sometimes. Since quotes aren't needed around his file path anyway, putting quotes around the entire bind might just do the trick. Either way, it's worth a shot.

Thanks for looking at this. I'll have to take another look tomorrow.

So omitting the quotes entirely might work as well since it's not multiple commands.
And yeah, i've noticed that some text editors don't always use characters that the game likes. So far i've found that using very basic text editors and saving as .txt files has worked for me.

Indeed.

Thanks for all your help guys. I appear to have found the problem. When I loaded the file up and pressed the commands numpad1-3 worked fine, but numpad 0 didn't. Swapping the number 0 and 1 in the key changed the problem to 1 so I checked the file it was loading. All the files apart from All.txt had no spaces between the lines, but the All.txt had a space between each line. Removing this removed the problem.
