Legit way to auto start/restart KO when frozen at x-trap

[miagi]

Not sure if this works on vista, but it works on my xp system.


KO erased my post about this on their forums which I can imagine why if it might cause them extra traffic when people are trying to get by x-trap...

Opening KO, then having it freeze on x-trap, then having to end task x-trap, made me come up with making 2 batch files to automate this... I just read Dr4g0n's post on his batch file to flush dns so he might have this too...

I made it into 2 batch files since I didn't want to figure out how to merge it into 1, but I have a .vbs to open both...



The .vbs: You can name it whatever you want, save it to where you plan to save your batch files..


Open notepad and put the following. Name it KO.vbs when saving.

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")**
**
cmd = "killfrozenko.bat"
cmd2 = "startko.bat"**
**
Return = WshShell.Run(cmd, 1, False)**
Return = WshShell.Run(cmd2, 1, False)
 
set WshShell = Nothing

For killfrozenko.bat.. Keep the name the same. Your going to save this where you put the .vbs.

:start
taskkill /f /IM KnightOnline.exe /FI "WindowTitle eq X-Patch"
sleep 10
goto start

For startko.bat. keep the name the same. Again, put this where you put your above batch file. If you installed knight online elsewhere, then you will have to change it yourself.

:top
C:
cd "C:\Program Files\Knight Online\"
KnightOnLine.exe USAKnightOnline
goto top

Lastly, you might need to download sleep.exe since windows xp doesn't have a "wait" command. I would just copy it to C:\windows.

So when you're finished, you have two batch files and a .vbs. You just have to run the .vbs once and it will keep retrying to open ko and closing x-trap if it freezes at x-trap updating. If you do successfully get in, I would recommend alt+tabbing to the desktop and closing the two batch files.


Feel free to expand on the script.

Ya... But like I stated above, this is so you can run the script and it will open KO for you, if it freezes at x-trap then it kills it and tries again repeatedly until KO successfully loads. It's an automated vs. manual thing, I prefer automated.

I haven&#39;t got in yet but this is much easier than manually trying to connect every few seconds. Follow this guys directions and walk away from the computer while it tries to get past xtrap. nice work!
