New App for BHD - Run Custom Missions in Steam
Apparently the /d switch doesn't work in Steam.
This means Custom Missions and *Mods may not run correctly or work at all. So I'm trying to build an app that will pack your missions to the pff, that way you should be able run custom missions in Steam. An automated selection process will... Pack - Unpack User Missions Pack - Unpack Stock Missions Backup the game folder etc... *Some MODs may work if repacked into the main PFFs |

Sounds like a good project to accomplish that

/d does indeed work directly in Steam and also works the manual way by creating a shortcut in Steam dir as usual with /d on the target parameter.
Video shows no /d, /d with hudpos.def and then DF1 mod.

@Sil
Windows 10 users are having various problems Sil. This issue is real enough. Steam users are also reporting they're suddenly unable to run their games from a HDD. Also your shims don't work for all users, so you can see there's more to this matter than meets the eye. Last edited by Guest001; 04-05-2018 at 07:37 AM. |

Thanks Scott - it's sorely needed for those who aren't totally up to speed on setting switches or packing and unpacking the PFFs.
The app is going OK but to make it robust it must also work from anywhere, especially if installed in Program Files (x86). Because of this nothing can be done in the game folders themselves, so it's taking a while to work through that, though it's packing and unpacking OK now. Then finally it's a matter of building the GUI with all the data visually integrated. Last edited by Guest001; 04-05-2018 at 09:03 AM. |

GUI going OK.
Still a few scaling issues with subwindows and some of the scanner titles are incorrect in the image. |

Steam is not the problem, as many people wrongly state with regards to games in the DF series, rather a Windows issue. Your app will be good to counter these problems tho

(Perhaps I should insert here - So Far. - remembering I'm trying to get this to happen from an executable not desktop interaction) In my view the issues with windows versions or steam executable changes are just part the problem in building a robust app that's fit for the purpose needed. I also have to consider that some users may still have a standard (x86 - Novalogic) install of the game which depending on OS, can bring enormous difficulties when it comes to editing the extra files that may be used. BTW - In case anyone is having a bit of trouble seeing their missions after packing the traditional way? When packing missions, it's only the extra files like bin wac lwf etc. that need to be packed to localres.pff. Keep editor generated files like the bms and til files unpacked and residing in the game for bhd missions to register correctly with bin and wac files etc. operating. : I'm currently investigating the implications of EXP1.pff in the TS expansion and may have to build a separate app for BHDTS.
