My first script with a GUI

[cyanidemonkey]

Hi Guys,

First of all I'd like to say a big thanks to all on this forum, it is a very welcoming and helpful place, it makes learning AutoIt a good and enjoyable experiance.

This is my first Auto It script with a GUI, before this one I wrote a small nonGUI script to automate a Windows Media streamimg server for a Low Power FM radio station. My background is web based scripting (asp, javascript, etc)

It' called AutoHost (yeah, original name I know) and pretty much just monitors and sends key commands to Delta Force 2 Demo while in server mode.

Please have a look, I'm not sure if I've got it right, it works, but being the first time I may have gone about doing things in an odd ball way.

(It has some GUI issues if in Win XP style, but for hosting game I figure the game server would be set to Win classic to save resources)

AutoHost v1.0 For Delta Force 2 Demo V1.03.04

(zip file contains the .au3 files and the stand alone exe)

Already going through a list of functions I'd like to add to it (is AutoIt addictive?)

Thanks again to all who have helped...

Quite a lot of changes since v1.0, thought I'd repost the source. Last edit to the code was eariler this year.

Not sure how usefull the source is, but there may be the odd helpfull function for someone.

I'm no longer developing this app, as I don't run a server for this game anymore.

autohost.au3 is mainly the GUI and game config editing.

start_hosting.au3 is the code monitoring the server.

Your first script with GUI? Gah, I would of never noticed it was your first. ;P

My first script looked like a picasso painting.

Do you know about KODA?

For such complex GUI's it 's a great help.

Have a fun with Autoit

Don't mean to knock your script or anything, but do you really think anyone else will benefit from this? The GUI does look very nice though.

It may influence them to make better looking GUI's. instead of all images and splash screens.

Yes, if someone wants a bit of code that does a simular job to one of the functions in it, why not use it?

I've use many bits of code found here completely unrelated to the overall script I am writing.

Plus I've had so much help here, I just wanna give back a little.
