[Rails-devel] double-clicking to run?

[James R. <rom...@gm...>]

Is it possible to set up save game files (.rails) so that double-clicking
on them starts the Rails program and loads in the save?

If so, are there reasonably detailed instructions (possibly OS-specific) on
how to make it work?

I have a batch file I use with Windows that I associate with the .rails file type. This allows me to double-click on a .rails file no matter what directory it resides in and have the Rails program autostart.

Hi Tom,

I could associate the .rails type to the .bat file that runs rails via the
java command.  I think I could also set it up so that double-clicking on
the .rails file passes the save file (.rails file) name to the .bat file
and so that the .bat file would then pass the the save file name into the
java command somehow.  Does the java command allow such an argument, would
it be passed along to Rails in a sensible way, and would Rails interpret it
as a save file to load?  I take it from your success that your answers to
all those questions are "yes."

Could you share the java command used in your batch file so that I may see
how the file name argument should be passed along?

Re: [Rails-devel] double-clicking to run?

[James R. <rom...@gm...>]

Hi Tom,

I still like to see how you do this.

I guess the real question is whether it's possible to pass the save file 
name into Rails when via the java command, somehow.

Re: [Rails-devel] double-clicking to run?

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

In principle Webstart allows to set some OS association like desktop 
icon, start menu entry and file association. However this is all 
optional, thus it depends on the Webstart implementation.

I have added those options to an experimental webstart-file.

Copy or click on the following link to try this:

http://rails.sf.net/webstart/rails_desktop.jnlp

With IcedTea OpenJDK Webstart on my Linux system it does nothing.
However this might be different on Windows or Mac OS with Oracle JREs.

Would be great to get some feed back, if and what this achieves on other 
systems.

Re: [Rails-devel] double-clicking to run?

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Hi Jim,
yes it is possible to pass the rails file as a command-line option:

The java jar command looks like the following:
java -jar rails-1.7.12.jar 1830.rails

rails.bat and rails.sh are only wrappers around this command:

Content of rails.bat e.g. is:
"java -jar rails-1.7.12.jar %1"

So the first argument after rails.bat or rails.sh is given to Rails and 
starts that save file.

For Rails 2.0:
In the current Rails 2.0 alpha 4 release this does not work, as I 
refactored game loading. However this is fixed now in rails_2_develop 
branch. So this will be possible with the next alpha again.
