It should be extremely simple to download and run jdupes.exe on the path the application uses. Tomstefanou you may want to build this functionality into your application. You can usually get jdupes here: but at time of writing, you'll need this link, as the latest version has no downloads: So you can drag jdupes into the command prompt, type -Lr, and then drag each folder in-just make sure to add spaces in between paths.
#EA LAUNCHER FULL#
This will add the full path to that file (including the name of the file itself and any necessary quotes) to the end of the current command line. If its not asking for much could we have some support for the EA Download Manager Ive been trying to use Steam but its just sluggish, Which really blow. Tip: you can actually drag entire files and folders into the command prompt from windows explorer. You can append as many paths as you want to this command just make sure to include the double-quotes around them if you have spaces or other special characters in them. You can get to the command prompt by running cmd.exe from the start menu (or run menu).
#EA LAUNCHER MODS#
The command you want for jdupes is `c:\path\to\jdupes.exe -Lr "c:\path\to\Zero Hour" "c:\path\to\shockwave" "c:\path\to\contra" "c:\paths\to\other\mods"`.įor example, all my mods are installed in 'J:\games\c&c\mods\ZH' and ZH is installed via both origin and TFD, so I use `c:\programs\jdupes.exe -Lr "J:\Games\C&C\Mods\ZH" "J:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals\" "J:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer(tm) Generals\generals.exe"` Instead of taking up ~5.24gb, ZH, Contra, and Shw will take up ~2.88gb (folder properties will not reflect this as windows explorer doesn't recognize hardlinks, but disk properties will-right click the drive in 'this pc' or 'my computer' and go to properties to view total disk usage before and after linking files)
#EA LAUNCHER INSTALL#
This will save you the space the base install takes up for all but one base install. Use jdupes to replace duplicate files with hardlinks this way instead of having 'Zero Hour\generals.exe' and 'Zero Hour Shockwave\generals.exe' and 'Zero Hour Contra\generals.exe' pointing to different parts of the hard drive and taking up a total of 18.5mb, all three will point at the same spot and take up the same 6.5mb of space.
#EA LAUNCHER MOD#
You could also include a feature, that disables the ZH scripts folder, for mods that use their own AI, and maybe the ability to set custom screen resolutions, and run the mod in quickstart and/or window mode. So if I may make a suggestion, what you could do is make a launcher that looks for mod files saved in a folder inside your ZH folder, and move them to the game folder to run the mod, then after it's done it moves the files back into the mod folder to keep your ZH folder clean. The problem with this method though, is that it uses a lot of space.
#EA LAUNCHER HOW TO#
I use this system, in fact I made a tutorial on how to do it before: Your mods may all be in the EA Games folder, but since they are in seperate ZH folder copies, you don't have to delete the others, you can just run the generals.exe program that is in the folder to run the mod you want. MS ( CUST : EA ) LAUNCHER AND GRENADES, SMOKE, HC AND WP, XM176 ( CUST. Mods can only interfere with each other if they are installed in the same ZH folder. ( 1 ) NOT I A 1330 EA 28 - SEP - 95 MIL - C - 51297B NOT I A 1310 EA 28 SEP. Back in 2017, Blizzard was forced to abandon its plans to rename its iconic launcher to the Blizzard Launcher after deciding the rebrand was a marketing blunder.Ĭlosed beta registrations for the new EA Desktop App have just opened, according to PCGamer, but an official rollout date is yet to be announced.Uh, I don't know how to break this to you, but if a mod is in a copy of your ZH folder, it has no way of interfering with other mods. However, previous efforts to rename game services have faced challenges.
Last month, Amazon rebranded Twitch Prime as Prime Gaming, bringing it in line with more of its subscription lineup. On PC, access to EA’s game subscription services had been exclusive to Origin.ĮA isn’t the only company that’s trying to bring its various services and platforms together under the same branding. It also said its EA Play subscription service (previously EA Access) would be coming to Steam, which allows users to download and play a variety of EA’s games for the price of a single monthly subscription, similar to Xbox Game Pass. The company announced last year that it would start releasing its games on Steam once more, and EA has continued to add more titles this year. The rebranding comes as EA is placing less focus on Origin as the exclusive store for its games on PC. Following last month’s rebrand of Origin Access
