hello all, does anyone know if its possible to launch a game from gamebase so a hdf is mounted (rather than the usual adf or whdload scripts)
i did try adding a hdf as an extra that didnt work, and doesnt work as the main game file either as it tries to put it into df0:
thanks everyone

Try this script in the Gamebase Amiga forum.
http://www.gb64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4720
The original script was very buggy (for me).
It took a while to figure it out, but it now works perfect.
this attaches the workbench 3.1 file "WB31.hdf" to drive DH0:
and your non auto booting HDF file to DH1:
add this to gemus if the HDF is auto booting.
HDF=no workbench
it uses the WB31.HDF file from this location.
C:\GameBase\Gamebase Amiga\WB31.HDF
And the Kickstart needs to be in this directory (with the same name).
C:\GameBase\Gamebase Amiga\Winuae\KICKSTART\KS ROM v3.1 (A1200) rev 40.68 (512k).rom

thanks "mad as a hatter"
if the game is added with the hdf pointing to the correct location in the database and everything is set up with the script, would this then possibly be supported by gblauncher by any chance?
for example,
gblauncher.exe db=AMIGA fn=PGATourGolf.HDF
thanks for your help

to be honest i don't know.
i don't have PGA Golf HDF, and have never used the GBLauncher.
reading the GBLauncher info, it gives an Amiga ADF as an example.
so i see no reason why HDF should not work.
As HDF images load ok from Gamebase with the new script.
Tested working with many Amiga Demos.

only thing i can think of is your Gamebase paths are different.
or you have a mixture of old and new gamebase files.
%dbpath%\Amiga.uae
is looking for file Amiga.uae in Gamebase root dir
example same path as mdb file.
c:\gamebase\Amiga\amiga.uae
c:\gamebase\Amiga\amiga.mdb
edit the Amiga.uae file and check DIR paths
kickstarts are here.
kickstart_rom_file=C:\Gamebase\Amiga\Winuae\KICKSTART\KS ROM v3.1 (A1200) rev 40.68 (512k).rom
the example WinUAE.ini is setup for this location
C:\GameBase\Amiga\Winuae\winuae.exe
so you might need to move your emulator if it is here...
Amiga\Emulator\Winuae\.
apart from that i have no clue.

i know your script is corrupt.
But i can't see line 46 in the example pic.
line 46 should read..
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Amiga.uae||gfx_contrast||0)
all lines that start "Set_CFG_Value"
should have "3" values spaced with 2 pipes ||
example
( value1 || value 2 || value3 )
the 3rd value can be left blank but still need entering with brackets closed.
( value1 || value 2 || )
and "SET_INI_VALUE" should have 4 values entered.
maybe it has cut and paste errors.
i think you should download it again...
