YASU and Smartlaunch

Prodigychild — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:43:04 GMT

I'm not so experinced with Smartlaunch. I have sat up one system at work a year ago. Now i'm setting a system up another system in a youth club with 10 machines and later an additional 24 machines.

My problem is getting YASU to run so that I can mount the games we have bought for the club. I have installed the latest Daemon tools lite 4.30.3 and Y.A.S.U. 1.5.8111, I also have placed the Y.A.S.U. file in the Daemon Tools Lite directory. I have tried a few things, actualley a lot. One of them is pasting this line

Start "Yasu" "C:\Programmer\DAEMON Tools Lite\YASU.exe" -s -c -nosd

to the

"C:\Program Files\Smartlaunch\Server\Data\Files\Client\Data\Batch\startup.bat" file on the HP smartserver that we a using to run the server program on.

The client says at startup "Unable to locate the file 'deamon.dll and/or dtpro.dll' please and so on.

Can anybody help please

Steam VTT system being shutdown No more Seat Subsription / pre paid time

MasterCATZ — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 15:10:34 GMT

Well my heart sank when I got this email
seesm steam now wants us to pay for every pc .. and not just pay for the few people that were using their service :S

support will be ending for the VTT system
« on: Today at 08:16:08 PM »
Dear Cafes
We have just been informed from Valve that support will be ending for the VTT system on the 1st November 2008. Valve will be shutting down the VTT System thus ending support for dynamically assigned cafe accounts (valvecafepc####) and the ability to use time-based billing.

WHAT THIS MEANS
Is that cafes will be assigned individual accounts & passwords. Cafes that are using the VTT ( eg: 4 seats to cover 12 PCs) will need to let me know if you are going to require more seats to cover your café requirements. Cafes that have as many seats as PCs will be fine, as all there PCs have accounts anyway. Cafes will receive an e-mail with the new individual accounts within the next 2 weeks or sooner. You will need to implement these accounts by November 1st. I am still waiting on confirmation if the CAS is going to be supported, and will let cafes know as soon as I do.

Please be patient, as I will try my best to make this transition as smooth as possible.

"A User Has Logged Out" -- Custom Audio Replacement

xero419 — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 10:45:19 GMT

In Smartlaunch when a console or laptop user, you hear "A user has logged out." For PC users, no attention is needed. But for console users (especially when TV turns off automatically using SmartHome devices), and laptop users (whose time can continue without attention), immediate attention is required.

Right now, I modified my SL batch files to play a delayed sound clip (that uses the least memory, only uses the microsoft "sound player" (tiny box, plays fast, then automatically exits) utilizing a few batch file commands from [url=http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en]Microsoft Server 2003 Resource Toolkit[/url] and hiding the shell by using a short vbscript.

After "a user has logged out", a 2nd voice says "A console user. TV1" or "A laptop user." "A misc. user" to notify the staff exactly where to look.

I used a free online text-to-speech emulator (that allows downloads) to make my console logout noises and used [url=http://audacity.sourceforge.net/]Audacity[/url] to edit my sound clips (user friendly).

I have added to the download section "Smartlaunch Audio Pack" to include TV1-4, misc users, and laptop users.

Adjust computer name and SL computer id during startup

mstevens — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 19:35:46 GMT

I am looking for a script of bat file commands that will automatically change the computer name and the SL computer ID during startup based on the IP address of the machine. The IP address gets set by MAC and after imaging, I currently have to go in and manually update the computer name in windows and the computer id number for Smartlaunch.

Thanks for your help.

Problems with Yasu 1.4

Noobs — Mon, 12 May 2008 04:05:25 GMT

Heya all!

I got a big problem, and i have worked on this for hours and i cant seem to come up with a solution. It seems that the new version of Yasu, 1.4, is perfectly capable of masking the virtual drives for all the games we need to set up. Here is where it gets weird. It seems this version is very picky as to where you run it from, it wants to be run from the same folder that the damon.dll file is stored in. Ive written a simple one line .bat file that should run yasu, all it really needs is the command:

Start "Yasu" "z:\Daemon tools\start_yasu.bat" -c -s

Here is the really really weird part. When i manually click on that .bat file and run it myself, it works just fine, no problems at all. However, if i tell SL to run that .bat file when starting any given game, yasu gives me an error saying it cant find the daemon.dll file.

If anyone knows anything about this, or at least can point me in the right direction, give me an alternate solution, that would help me so much.

[PHP] Class for communication with Smartlaunch

Niklas — Fri, 21 Jul 2006 09:53:08 GMT

Hi

I've released an alpha version of the PHP Class for communicating with Smartlaunch. I haven't worked on this class for a while, so its an old release, hopefully working.
At the moment i do not have a Windows computer to work on, so i cannot test/developer this class until i get a Windows computer, or somehow access to a smartlaunch server.

The class requires a Linux/BSD, PHP5 with XML and Socket extensions loaded. I will look into adding support for Windows, when i have an opportunity to begin the development again.

I'm also going to write a little activity script utilizing the class when i get the chance. If you can't wait for me to finish the activity script, you will have to write your own.

Since i haven't commented to code, i might be difficult to use at the first view. Here's a little howto for using the class:

username = An admin user added in the smartlaunch server
password = Password for that user
ip = IP to the smartlaunch server
[code]
include 'class.smartlaunch.php';

$slObj = new Smartlaunch('username','password','ip');

?>
[/code]

That's it. Now you're connected to your smartlaunch server with the class.

To retrieve a list of computers:
[code]
$arrComputerList = $slObj->GetComputerList();
[/code]
$arrComputerList now contains an array with info for all the computers in your cafe with info such as console-type, turned on/off, active user, active application, time remaining.

To retrieve info for a specific user:
[code]
$arrUserInfo = $slObj->GetUserInfo('username');
[/code]
$arrUserInfo now contains an array with info for that user (cannot remember all the info returned by the server, will update this post later when i know.

I'm going to write some documentation for this class, and how to use the other functions in it.

You can find the release at our project page at [url=http://www.sourceforge.net]SourceForge[/url] here:

CS Source Not Loading

Syberscream — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 04:15:31 GMT

I know their has been some mention on here about the CS Source stopping at launch screen. Has anyone determined if this is a valve issue or smartlaunch? We have been paying for a bunch of licenses for valve cafe and this game has been zero playable. Nobody even bothers to try to launch game anymore. Has anyone requested or recieved money back from valve due to this issue.

We have also had the same issue with Red Orchestra for some time.

Thanks all.

DAMN.. How did this post get in here. Its been a long day. :-)

SmartLaunch Profile Saver Update (v1.0.1)

Netronix — Thu, 24 Nov 2005 09:32:43 GMT

[b]Whats New![/b]

SLProfile Saver v1.0.1 now fully supports the use of environment variables in it's paths.
This support is critical for users who use different logins for each computer, because the location of the My Documents folder is in a different location.

I have also included much more error checking and reporting, so that if any error occurs, the program should continue to save PUFs.

You can read more about this program on my website at [url]http://www.netronixgames.com/software/[/url]

If you have any questions, comments, or bugs, please email me at [email]ejordan@netronixgames.com[/email]

Good Luck with those PUFs!

Safe Firefox Mod (W/ and W/O Printing)

Chris [SL] — Wed, 08 Mar 2006 01:55:16 GMT

Here are two versions of my Firefox mod. One allows printing and one (the original) has it disabled. I haven't tested the one with printing support thouroughly yet, I just reenabled printing and repackaged it. Give whichever you use a good test and let me know if you find any issues before you deploy it to your client computers.

You can download them both here:

control console system automatically

ZaCkO — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 23:37:51 GMT

I am willing to buy 16 main controller link for powering down tvs that use consoles. I will not use any other pos software other than my own. I would like to purchase the hardware and instead of using smartlaunch, just reference them myself to turn off. I would just need to know how to reference them for visual basic (Turning on or off). Smartlaunch is a great program, but because I have been programming our own business pos machines, I will continue too (It is much easier, cheaper, and convient).

PHP Activity Script

CyberConXion — Sat, 20 May 2006 19:05:26 GMT

This morning I was looking for a php-based activity script for SL 4.0.

I downloaded some of the ones from a search on these forums, and found them completely overcomplicated and lacking, so I wrote my own. It uses basic PHP functions to store the update from the SL server, and outputs a pretty straightforward page for users with the current status (however current you have the SL server set to update).

I'm attaching them here, for the rest of you guys that just need something simple that works, without any of that sql business. Please read the readme.first.txt before asking or emailing me for tech support. Thanks ;)

SL Admin mode
Antivirus scan

Shutdown

I'm sure there would have to be a WAIT period after each step too.

Request/Suggestion/Whatever

Ersan — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 17:35:03 GMT

I was trying to write a plugin that gave administrators access to the credit card processing program I wrote, but there really is no way to do it. Could you perhaps allow plugins to be added to the 'cashier' window, or even just make it so you can click on an existing plugin in the toolbar on the main smartlaunch administrator window while the cashier window is open (add the plugin icon as a button in the main toolbar, run the same method that is used when you go to plugins->plugin name, and allow it to be clicked when the cashier window is open)?

I know this is a specific request but if you want to work with me on a credit card processing framework I can write plugins for various merchant services.

Smartlaunch XML Interface

DigitalGecko — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 21:48:13 GMT

Ok i have finally managed to decrypt the php script and figured out how this all works. I am assuming thought that there are more xmlcommands than what i have found. Does anyone have a complete list of what smartlaunch will accept for external commands.

I would like to be able to deposit/withdraw money from and account as well as add notes to the log. I can do both of these with an application that pretends to be the admin but now that i know there is an XML interface i would rather not have to be sneaky.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

I have created a reg file that changes the proxy settings in internet explorer anytime i click on a batch file i also created.This works in windows excellently but i am looking at using smartlaunch,so that anytime a user logs out the proxy settings changes to my proxy server ip which is in the reg file.

How can i achieve this through smartlaunch? Is there a way of using a command in the logout.bat file to acheive this?

Smartlaunch 4.0 Webinterface [ASP]

triejan — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 18:56:57 GMT

We have released the first build of the Smartlaunch 4.0 Webinterface (ASP version). The project site is hosted on sourceforge at [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartlaunchweb/[/url]. This webinterface will allow much easier coding of activity pages, account status pages, and much more.

Please note that the current release uses .NET Framework 1.1.

This thread can be used for comments/questions/suggestions.

Can anyone explain, or better write a sample script, showing me how to use the SmartlaunchWebInterface.dll file I got by suggestion from sourceforge? I have used things like this before with ebay and UPS, but with no documentation as to how to call this thing, or the functions it supports (or if there is documentation, i don't have it) I am lost. I would REALLY appriciate it. I don't know PHP at all, so I am really only interested in using this with ASP. Thanks in advance!

Activity Script not Updating

electricd7 — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 16:57:20 GMT

Hello,

I have the ASP version of the activity script installed on SL 4.1 It works to generate the page and show the users logged in. The problem is that when a user logs out, and the page is regenerated (either manually or automatically) it still shows them logged in. Its like it is not seeing the change. I have deleted the page and re-generated it to verify that it is actually an updated page, but the logins do not change. Has anyone one else seen this issue?

Unfortunately we are at a loss as to why it is doing this :( Is it related to java or a misocnfigured php.ini? Or is it something completely different.

Any help would be appreciated.

Adding Games

malibubts — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 23:16:53 GMT

Alright, I have figured out most the adding games process. I've got it all set up except for the image mounter. I can launch a game and it says it needs the disc. DAEMON Tools was confusing to me. Can anyone please help. And is there any way I can use Alcohol 120% instead of DAEMON Tools. Thanks.

Sample Scripts for a game fin order for PUFs to work propperly

sandlizard401 — Fri, 14 Oct 2005 01:57:14 GMT

I would like to get a start, if someone has a bit of time. Can someone give me some examples of the scripts needed for say, age of empires 2, or stronghold 2 or even battlefield 2 or doom 3? Those are the four games that I bought to test and of course, all game save data is on the individual computer. So, different people can load, save and delete other's games and the like...I know different games use different config files, and save files, but I would like just a couple of samples from someone that has gone through what I am doing right now.

I should say that I am testing the newest download, (as of 5 days ago), version 4.

I have just the basic script for bf2, found on the boards here, and I need to tweak it a bit; I need to stop the autorun, which gives the user a menu to uninstall and play the game! For testing, i'm just happy it works. or worked...I just patched to 1.3, and I have not tested it yet.

When I use the initial script, how far do I need to go? Is that where I call the individual directories? At which point do I deal with the PUFs?

I noticed that Doom had 2 different PUFs, a doom III (settings 1) and a doom III (settings 3). That was done automatically I think from SL.

I guess I'm kinda going to have to learn each game individually, and I'm starting with the four listed above. Is there any other files that I need to adjust or alter upon launching or closing that I need to call that I am missing?

Thanks for your help in advance,

James

Remote app launching?!

Orcadious — Sun, 30 Jul 2006 07:18:41 GMT

Is there a command or any tool that can remotely launches applications on client pcs ??
Sometimes SL clients disconnect, and I need to launch for example "Oleg's WINKILL" to kill the apps that makes the client disonnect!.. Of course I need to launch the apps from the server PC to be launched on the client PC.

Scan barcodes without SL focused

Chris [SL] — Fri, 19 May 2006 04:06:38 GMT

Here is a small program I wrote a bit ago to do away with the annoying problem of scanning barcodes and then realizing the Administrator isn't in focus and having to do it all over again.

It is nothing fancy, while running you can't see it anywhere but in the task manager. That is the only way to close it as well. While running it will capture any barcodes you scan no matter what program you're in and input them into the Administator, as long as the Administator is already running. If the Administrator isn't running it is inactive.

Just drop it in your POS computer's startup folder and you're good to go.

Workaround for custom directory paths

Netronix — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 06:20:39 GMT

I have seen several requests for SL to add the ability to specify custom paths for folders. While most of these changes have been implemented, while we all wait, there is a tool for windows that allows you to create symbolic links.

It's called Link Magic ([url]http://www.rekenwonder.com/linkmagic.htm[/url]).
This can also be used for games as well.

For example, several MMO's (WoW, EQ2, etc) requires updates quite often. Instead of forcing your cafe to update all your computers, you can move your files to your file server, then use Link Magic to create a symbolic link to the folder on your server. The result is that when you make a change to your server files, all clints that link to that folder are instantly updated.

Now, there are 2 drawbacks to using a tool like this.
1) It only works for folders. No files, sorry.
2) If a game updates a file, that file is changed for everyone. If two games are running, and both try to update the files, problems can arise. You need to check out the game before you try this fix.

The real use for this tool is for custom paths for your PUF's. Just create a link form your original PUF folder to the new path you want, and it will go there instead.

Please note that a link is completly transparent to the computers that use a link.
For example, lets say I have linked C:\My Folder to D:\Dest.

When I browse to C:\My Folder, all the subfolders and files that are in D:\Dest will be shown as C:\My Folder, and as far as any application is concerened, they ARE WRITING to C:\My Folder, NOT D:\Dest.
