Re: ability to publish High scores to a blogger account
I'll go ahead and post it now... I ran it enough times that I'm pretty sure it'll work (more curious to see if any of my games close tonight or not before Extern).
anyhow.. here it is:
1-Open up T-edit for a game that has highscores you want published.
2-Select H "General Editor Two"
3-Select J "Gfiles ScoresDir"
Enter a path (Must include the trailing '\') I just use "C:\twgs\game\gameA\" for example
4-In that same Menu (General Editor Two) set number 5 for whatever setting you prefer.
5-(Q)uit out of Tedit...
Repeat Steps 1-5 for all the games you want scores for.
Next come the Bat file:
Code:
REM This first part simply makes sure we are
REM working in the correct directory, and that
REM Blat is set up with correct mail server settings
REM NETSH is a WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL command to take
REM a 5 second break while it does a loopback ping
REM If you don't have XP Pro, just ping your LoopBack 6 times
REM For the exact same effect.
@Echo off
Title RUNNING BATCH EVENTS
C:
cd\blat262\full
blat -install smtp.secretmailserver.com yourname@secretmailserver.com >nul
NETSH Diag Ping Loopback >nul
REM This Second part Echos to the screen what process its
REM working on echo ^<pre^> >output.txt will
REM create/overwrite a file called output.txt and add a
REM <pre> to the beginning of the email, so the entire
REM posting will be in a monospaced font so it looks
REM presentable. It was the easiest fix I could come up with.
REM
REM the Type line, appends the highscores.txt to the
REM output.txt file the location of the HIGHSCORES.TXT
REM file must match what you entered in Option J of TEdit
REM
REM The Next Echo Line appends </pre> to the output...
REM closing the command
REM
REM echo. makes the display skip a line
REM Another Echo to the screen so i know what's going on.
REM Another Blat command... Sending the completed
REM output.txt to my blog as an email attachment.
REM
REM and a pause for 5 secnods for that email to be
REM processed by my email provider.

Also... you want to publish/email them in REVERSE ALPHABETICAL Order... that way they appear in the correct order (With Game A on top of the postings) on your blog.
