What does it do? In other words, a completely unessential, but portable utility for launching programs singly, or in tandem, or not at all! Requirements: Windows- (XP and up that can run 64 bit code) Status: Beta Release. Handle downloaded file: (The signed PrgLnch code will not preclude a few Defender and SmartScreen warnings. Those can be changed or muted according to the option list selection atop the Apps & Features section in Windows Settings.) What to do? Check that the monitors for use use are connected to the desktop. Copy the file into a folder of choice, (if the package is zipped, extract exe) then launch PrgLnch. It creates an ini file if one is not present, else most extant ini files from 1.X are compatible. To get started with Bethesda game mods now, see below. Click Prg Config, and choose an empty slot on the top left to add or drag in desired program (Prg), checking options for the Prg such as resolution, options for resolution, priority, command line parameters and the rest. Use the button (question mark at top right of dialog) for context help, also refer to "Getting Started" section in Help. What's Old and New in Version Releases? (current: 3.0 Beta) Notes for Bethesda Game Modders: Most players of Bethesda games are passing chuffed with the popular mod launchers for executables- PrgLnch offers creators and designers more flexibility in mod accessibility, functionality, and interaction in a busy environment: Dedicated LnchPad Slots for each game Batch Presets for specific tasks Power Plans in Batch Runs Multi Monitor Support Much more What PrgLnch isn't: A plugin manager for TES games (mod managers handle that) A program installer (doesn't download or install 3rd party programs from the internet) A program analyser (doesn't debug programs or provide crash dump info) Get Started: Click "LnchPad Setup" button on the right of the PrgLnch batch dialog. This extracts the LnchPadInit.exe file to the current directory, so Windows Defender may offer a tray tip with something like "scanning for 10 seconds": Start the search! This is still in Beta, so please post anything that doesn't seem right to you! The mods have to be already installed on the rig before PrgLnch can use them. Extra LnchPad Slots can be setup to run for executable mods with command line options e.g. XEdit or Wrye Bash. As opposed to running a combination of game mods by themselves, it's not recommended to launch the actual games (or script extender launchers) in a Batch Preset along with other Prgs, unless the game itself is the last to launch in the batch. A Batch Preset with just the game by itself, or its extender launcher is also a good option, with astute regard to the launch settings in the PrgLnch Options. The 12 mods for each game were chosen mainly on (alleged) popularity and usability. As the choice was subjective, suggestions to the inclusion of alternative LnchPad Slots are very welcome. The decision to choose either Vortex or MO2: Chose MO2 because at the time it was subjectively assumed it was more likely to benefit from PrgLnch than Vortex. Edit: Apologies- as the Update Mod Version section cannot be edited- a slightly improved quality on the youtube videos at the end of the submission follows here: The two monitor rig where Skyrim files are located: The three monitor rig with Oblivion files:
