Now, I got the "windows\win /n c:\stars\stars.exe -x -a c:\stars\gamename.def" to work.
However, when I try "windows\win /n c:\stars\stars.exe -x -dp c:\stars\universe\gamename.m1" I get no result. Nothing.
I am not really familiar with Stars under dosbox but here some checks:
# the m-files have no password?
If yes your command line needs to include it: -pPASSWORD (PASSWORD=whatever the password is for the specific m-file)
# Is there a gamename.p file without an ending number?
If yes, then you need to insert an additional line into the stars.ini (which is located in the \win directory):
Search for [Misc] and insert the following line below:
newreports=1
Try again and Stars should be able to number the p-files now.
And a curious question: What are you doing with the p-files?
Quote:Specifically, if Stars moves down to the subdirectory where the files are, because in my example the gamename.def was in the same directory as Stars.exe
Well, I guess you moved the game files afterwards into the subdir \universe: .xy and all .m-files.
