Recommended Posts

I want to change powerplan from what ever i have available to what ever else i have available when executing a game.

I start games by a script, so is there a line that i could add to change powerplan ?

Use of swichable graphics is dumb, because GPU gets switched but PCI link is not unless i change it manually or change to powerplan that has it OFF

 

Thanks in advance.

tonycst,

What you do with AutoIt in the world outside is entirely your own affair, but given the prohibition in the Forum rules about discussing certain possible uses, mentioning in open forum that you want help with a script that you admit is used to launch games is not a particularly clever thing to do. However, as the aim of the question is to change the power plan rather then launch a game, I will leave the thread open. Point taken for the future, I hope. ;)

Weird. I run nearly every single program i have using either CMD or AUTOIT script. Functions are basic, save registry ad files associated with the software/game to specific location. If i format or reinstall windows, scripts would restore those registry/files and software/game works again without having to reinstall it.

I dont see why that would be prohibited, but OK.

tonycst,

Whether you understand why the prohibition exists is entirely beside the point - the fact is that the Forum rules exist and we ask members to respect them. Thank you for the assurance that you will do so in future. :)

yea.

Anyway i found some stuff.

I dont know why searching forum form here didnt show anything but searching google showed allot more useful topics.

Here is what i came up with:

Hopefully someone will find this usefull

#include <Constants.au3>
$GetCurrent = "Powercfg -getactivescheme" ;CMD command
$SetHigh = "POWERCFG /SETACTIVE SCHEME_MIN" ;min= minimum aving
$SetLow = "POWERCFG /SETACTIVE SCHEME_MAX"

Global $DOS, $Message = '' ;; added "= ''" for show only.
$DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $GetCurrent, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) ;get your current power scheme
ProcessWaitClose($DOS)
$Message = StdoutRead($DOS)
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $SetHigh, "", @SW_HIDE) ;Set max performance settings
$OriginalSceme = StringTrimLeft ($Message,StringInStr ($Message,":")+1) ;working on string
$OriginalScemeFinal = StringLeft ($OriginalSceme,StringInStr ($OriginalSceme,"(")-3) ;working on string
$ReturToOriginal = "POWERCFG /SETACTIVE " & $OriginalScemeFinal ;final string for previously used power scheme ID

RunWait ("Run what ever you want here")

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $ReturToOriginal , "", @SW_HIDE) ;Return to previously set power settings
