[Arcade PC] Aliens: Extermination (Global VR)

[grocarlito]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to create an AutoHotKey script to simulate LCtrl pressed and LShift pressed to insert coins but nothing seem to work. I succesfully simulate start for player 1 & 2 with SendRaw:

 

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

 

1Joy13::Send {Esc}

 

1Joy9::Send {LControl}

2Joy9::Send {LShift}

 

1Joy10::SendRaw {& down}

2Joy10::SendRaw {é down}

 

Escape::

Process,Close,aliens dehasped.exe
ExitApp
Return

I also have the same problem by setting the exe resolution to 640x480 out of range How to simulate falsefullscreen? thanksss

Well, as it was time ago I don't remember. Maybe at the beggining I had it working that way. With false fullscreen I mean to launch the game in window mode and hide window style to seem fullscreen with ahk:

   WinSet, Style, ^0xC00000 ; hides the title bar
   WinSet, Style, -0x400000 ; hides the dialog frame
   WinSet, Style, -0x40000 ; hides the sizebox/thickframe
   WinSet, Style, -0x800000 ; hides the thin-line border
   WinSet, Style, -0xC00000 ; hides the title bar
   WinMove, , , 0, 0, 640, 480 ; moves the entire window to 0,0 i.e. upper left corner.

The game was too fast in my side. This can also be resolved with the "wait for v sync" option in my radeon panel, but it had problems saving game profiles.So at the end I got it working with gameloader Rh which resizes nice and stabilizes the framerate.

@phasermaniac did you manage to make it go with gameloader on 15khz 640x480 monitor? Could you show me the procedure or the settings?

[Invité Jayinem]

Is there a way to fix "could not load shader" error? I have the game in my C: drive. 

[Invité Jayinem]

Can someone please help me I was getting the game to work and about to configure the gun and make a shortcut using DemulShooter so I can load Aliens in Launchbox then my stupid antivirus AVG deleted DemulShooterX64. This is a huge problem for me because i have tons of shortcuts with other games using AHK so that I can load other lightgun games in Launchbox. I tried to redownload the same version of DemulShooter but it wont' let me extract it and I even made an exception.

 

I'm just going to uninstall AVG intrusive idiots.

Ok nm that I got rid of AVG problem solved. Couple of little things though.

 

-It works but I get error failed to open the AV frame, and I have to close it like 5 or 6 times before the game will boot can that be fixed?

-Anyway to make it fullscreen?

-Do I have to calibrate two guns? I only have one. I can't even figure out how to calibrate the one its not working in the screen and I have DemulShooter settings in my shortcut. 

 

SetWorkingDir, C:\Downloads\DemulShooter_v8.8.2
run DemulShooter.exe -target=globalvr -rom=aliens
SetWorkingDir, C:\PC\aliens\DATA
run aliens dehasped.exe

Deleted post.

Ignore this I misread it as that you were using DemulshooterX64 but then noticed in 2nd post shortcuts runs Demulshooter.exe

Apologies

the game working only in this folder C:\PC\aliens

[Invité Jayinem]

Ok so anyway to get rid of AVI error before it starts and also make it fullscreen? Thanks for help.

 

Still can't calibrate it :( I did change it to Demulshooter.exe. Followed all instructions on the Wiki. 

 

I moved Demulshooter files to C:/PC/Aliens/Data and my shortcut is like this

 

run DemulShooter.exe -target=globalvr -rom=aliens
run aliens dehasped.exe

 

And yes I can make it to the calibration screen but can't do anything. I alt+tab while in the game and noticed there was no DemulShooter icon it's like when I'm running the game it's closing it? 

 

I ran run DemulShooter.exe -target=globalvr -rom=aliens then ran the exe seperately and the DemulShooter icon stays there and even says aliens when you hover over it but can't do anything still.

Fixed it.

 

If anyone can not get their gun to work and you happen to be getting an AVI error before boot add to command line -noavi. Now I get no error and the gun is working. 

 

Still want it fullscreen if possible but I'm pretty happy even if not. 

[phasermaniac]

Tomorrow I'll look at my aliens configuration, I have it working fullscreen with gameloader.

Modifié le 20 avril 2020 par phasermaniac

[Invité Jayinem]

There's a COMMANDLINE.txt and one of them is -full but doesn't work. 

[Tiberius]

Had you installed divx6 as suggested in this thread? I think that was way of getting over the AVI error originally but if your way works as well grand. 

Have you used the resolution changer? I know mine loads full screen directly. I think I did it via that.

Unfortunately I cannot check anything at the moment as pretty sure my PSU decided to die on my last night as computer turned off mid use and now won't restart even with the good old paperclip trick.

[Invité Jayinem]

Well 1 day after I got it working with my lightgun I'm back again. I had to do a system restore for some other reason and now I cannot get the gun to work again. I even copied the entire folder to a hard drive before the restore and copied it to C:\. Even trying -novi doesn't make the gun work. Nothing seems to. Demulshooter is opening and shows [aliens]. Here is my debug

A working bat file for frontends/ one click start. Place it in PC\Aliens\Data (Gameloader & MouseEnabler should also be placed in same location)

 

@ECHO OFF

Junction C:\PC "D:\Alien Extermination\PC"

start /wait "" "C:\PC\aliens\DATA\Game Loader ALL RH.exe"

start "" C:\PC\aliens\DATA\Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe"

taskkill /f /im Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe

Junction -d C:\PC

exit
 

This will use junction to place folders from D:\Alien Extermination folder to C:\ then run game via game loader all rh. Exiting game will remove junction folders from c:

 

Junction can be downloaded from here > https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/junction

 

I have placed junction in envr paths so can call it from anywhere. You can place the junction file in PC\Aliens\Data if you don't want to go the envr path way.

 

created a bezel which some of you might find useful > aliens_extermination.zip

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've tried your idea. Dropped Junction into \Data folder and I run a bat file with that commands but the folder is not copied.

Could you help me, please?

 

It would be great adding this game into Launchbox.

Change the first line of bat file, if \Data is in D: then first lien would be like

 

D:\Alien_Extermination\PC\aliens\DATA\Junction C:\PC D:\Alien_Extermination\PC

 

if the path has spaces use "/path" like:

 

"D:\Alien Extermination\PC\aliens\DATA\Junction" C:\PC "D:\Alien Extermination\PC"

 

If the bat file is in the same folder i.e. /data then you can call it directly:

 

Junction C:\PC "D:\Alien Extermination\PC"

 

You can also try it through command prompt/ terminal opened at /data.

 

Use this to place:

Junction C:\PC "D:\Alien Extermination\PC"

 

Use this to remove:

Junction -d C:\PC

 

Once placed folder will be visible in win explorer/ file managers.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it doesn't work for me.

This is my .bat . But it doesn't make the C:\PC link and neither start the MouseEnabler.

Only run GameLoader All RH (and shows a shader error because there ir no C:\PC link)

:_(

 

Start.bat

 

 

Edit: I think the problem is that the bat run everything. Don't wait for killing the processes:

 

I run this other bat copy.bat though CMD and showed me:

Targetted at: D:\Roms\Arcade PC\Alien Extermination\PC

You have to give full path to Junction if the bat file is not in the same folder. The Start.bat linked should be like:

 

@ECHO OFF

"D:\Roms\Arcade PC\Alien Extermination\PC\Junction" C:\PC "D:\Roms\Arcade PC\Alien Extermination\PC"

start /wait "" "Game Loader ALL RH.exe"

start "" "Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe"

taskkill /f /im Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe

Junction -d C:\PC

exit

It's in the same folder.

I've tried both .bat.

Calling directly (same folder) ----> Start.bat

Or full path (other folder elsewhere). ----> Copy.bat

But it's the same result. The game cannot run because the C:\PC is created and deleted before the game could be runned by Game Loader All RH.

Game Loader All RH shows me a shader error message because there is no correct folder.

And Mouse_Enabler is killed so never appears at taskbar,

[Set]

 

Could this work for any other game to take up this function?

Hello à tous, je viens de rajouter ce jeu sur un système coinops, et je possède 2 Aimtraks, le problèmes c'est que je ne sais pas comment faire fonctionner l'ensemble correctement avec des .bat popur le lancement.

J'ai essayé la méthode ci :

@echo off
set "C:\PC\aliens\Aliens_Mouse\Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe"
set "GAMENAME=aliens dehasped
set "GAMEPATH=\Aliens Extermination\"
set HOME="%~dp0"
set "GAMEROOT=%~dp0%GAMEPATH%"
cd %GAMEROOT%
start "" /WAIT "%GAMEROOT%%GAMENAME%"
exit

Le jeu se lance bien, mais je n'ai qu'un seul aimtrak de fonctionnel ( malgré un tour dans le service menu)

 

puis j'essaye ceci, afin de lancer le jeu via gameloader :

@ECHO OFF

start /wait "" "C:\PC\aliens\DATA\Game Loader ALL RH.exe"

start "" "C:\PC\aliens\DATA\Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe"

taskkill /f /im Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe

exit

le jeu ne se lance pas.

Ai-je oublié quelque chose ?

Ou existe t'il une méthode pour lancer le jeu autrement, afin de faire fonctionner les 2 guns.

Merci d'avance à vous

Guys i am having a very hard time to calibrate my wiimote guns in the test menu to attain the value 0 for Gun up and left value of 65535 for Gun right and down. Can someone guide me. I am using wiimotes in conjunction with Touchmote and Demulshooter lastest version.

[jedi1972]

Well....work this one out.

 

When i set up gun calibration for player one, it sets it as player two? Game plays great but with no way of setting player one and i have tried factory reset etc.

 

Any clues?

Hi,

What settings should I change on my windows 7 vmware so that alien extermination will run at normal speed?
Currently, alien extermination is running too fast. My main OS is linux.

[LEGEND80]

For me, on nvidia, turning off Threaded Optimization in the CP strangely fixed it.

[kazumasan144]

Thanks for the reply. I am using windows 7 on a vmware, it does not have access to GPU settings, 

[LEGEND80]

Ah I'm just running it natively in Win10.

Had this working then reinstalled windows and now get could not load shader error. Anyone fixed This?

I'm not real sure but I would try redownloading the game and starting with fresh files, if you didn't already. Sometimes using previous game files can cause issues. If that doesn't fit it it could be a lot of things like needing to reinstall directx etc... I wouldn't know what. 

[Pipes78]

I'm guessing it something I've missed.
