Anyway to get this game to work with Steam etc

[PuntyMario]

ive been itching to play this game and being able to chat with my friends at the same time. is there any work for it? since ac uses a bat file idk how that works

[XFA]

you can download batch to exe converters and just use that
its what i do :]

technically, all the batch file does, is execute a file and pass a few arguments.

So, as long as you can make steam run from the main AC directory, then tell it to execute this: bin_win32\ac_client.exe --init %1 %2 %3 %4 %5

[tempest]

You don't even need that %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 stuff, since you don't supply any arguments anyway.

Other than that, how about completely dumping that script launcher? You could simply look for the core textures in packages/, and if it doesn't find them, try changing the working directory (chdir("../"), or chdir("..\\") on windows) and look again.

I wrote an application starting batchfiles (and everything else you would like) for dave. Just one line of code ... or something like that :P
