[Intermediate] Launch GHost++, Warden Update, and Warden all at once

How to start wardenupdater, blns.exe and ghost.exe with one click (in windows)

I recently found it very annoying to start wardenupdater.exe, blns.exe and ghost.exe when launching the bot.
I run Windows, so I did some easy .bat-files to make this work.
Recognizing it comes to difficulties starting to fast, or starting over one cmd-window the solution ended up like this.

You need 4 .bat files.
Simply create a text-file with notepad and name it .bat at the end instead of .txt

The files in my example are written below, write the text in the code window in the open .bat file with the given name

start_all.bat

start "bat1" "C:\<your_path_for_ghost>\bnls.bat"
CALL WAIT 1
start "bat2" "C:\<your_path_for_ghost>\ghost.bat"
exit

bnls.bat

start "BLNS Updater" "C:\<your_path_for_warden_server>\wardenupdater.exe"
CALL WAIT 1
start "BLNS Warden" "C:\<your_path_for_warden_server>\BNLS.exe"
exit

ghost.bat

start "GHost++ 13.0" "C:\<your_ghost_path>\ghost.exe"
exit

WAIT.bat

@ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 -w 1000 > nul
@ping 127.0.0.1 -n %1% -w 1000> nul

Copy all those files in your ghost folder.
Make a shortcut to start_all.bat (or start it directly with it) and use it to update and start bnls and after that automatically start ghost.
I found it very nice and useful.

Have fun.

are the pings just to make it wait?  You could have used sleep.exe for that, it's in a microsoft redistributable package.

This code works in any case, even without the install.
I didnt find the sleep command on my system *shrug*

sleep isn't on the computer by default, it's part of a toolkit of a bunch of different tiny useful apps from microsoft.  I believe it's called the Server 2003 Resource Kit.

Yeah I found that package, but I thought it is disturbing to install a whole package just for this little gimmick.
if you install that package you can just switch "CALL WAIT 1" with "sleep 1" and delete WAIT.bat
But hey... a .bat file is not really big, so I take the method which involves less work.

[Instinct121]

no, I just don't like using a bunch of bat files, or using commands which 'trick' the computer into doing what you want it to do.

[Amazing]

Well and I do not like installing useless crap I do not need.
Pinging myself is not that bad.

[Instinct121]

Yeah, I know.  I'm probably just arguing because I never thought of it.

LOL @ Instinct Epic arguing HAHA

Why not use this. its one file and you just have to hit the space twice and it also loads wc3

Code:

@ECHO OFF
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\BNLSWarden\wardenupdater.exe"
pause
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\BNLSWarden\BNLS.exe"
pause
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\ghost.exe"
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -windows
exit

or if you install this small package you can use this so you dont have to do anything but click to start it

Code:

@ECHO OFF
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\BNLSWarden\wardenupdater.exe"
sleep 1
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\BNLSWarden\BNLS.exe"
sleep 1
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\ghost.exe"
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -windows
exit

but your way is good if people are really lazy and dont want to hit a space twice or download anything..
made the first bat for myself awhile ago and just found this now so thought i would share.
Thanks for letting me know about sleep.exe, not sure if "sleep 1" is good or you need it higher or anything
