The DOS window...is this an improvement?

[MykeGregory]

you may have seen my recent thread "my AC dos window" it was blue and white and looked like BSOD.

and that got me thinking, what if i could make a cool one for AssaultCube.
at thw moment you double click the dos window thing and it comes up black and white, BORING.

so i remembered what i could of my DOS knowledge and came up with this.


now this is the window that apears when you first click the icon thing.
notice the welcome message and the start of session message.



and this is the window that is there after you quit.
i have changed the title to "come back soon" and an end of session message, i have also managed to clear the last game info you normally get at the end so it just says end of sesh!
now, the colour scheme can be changed but the colours are kinda limited, just a note.

any thoughts?

Very nice. I like the addition of the end of session stuff.

Noooo, what if I had an IP that needed to check?

[MykeGregory]

you can set it so it says "end of seesion" without the rest of the text being deleted. simples!

While we're on the topic of batch files,

[SELECT ALL] Code:

FOR /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set date=%%a-%%b-%%c)
FOR /f "tokens=1-3 delims=: " %%a in ('time /t') do (set time=%%a%%b-%%c)

bin_win32\ac_client.exe --init -T --home="C:\Users\me\Documents\AssaultCube_v1.1.0.4" -w1280 -h720 -a2 -v0 --mod=mods\extrafonts %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 >> "C:\Users\me\Documents\AssaultCube_v1.1.0.4\clientlogs\clientlog-%date%-%time%.txt"
REM pause

[Gibstick]

Yes, exactly. I got it from jamz or somewhoooooooooooooooooo.

>color /?
Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits;

-The first corresponds to the background, the second the foreground.
-Each digit can be any of the following values:

0 = Black 8 = Gray
1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue
2 = Green A = Light Green
3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua
4 = Red C = Light Red
5 = Purple D = Light Purple
6 = Yellow E = Light Yellow
7 = White F = Bright White

If no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was
