I'm a masochist who likes to make his own toned-downed tactics BWP install using just the pdf and a batch file. There is a way to automate inputs like you're talking about. in my root BG install folder, I create a new folder called "_custom-game" and inside it, for example, I'll have a file called widescreen.txt that reads
1440
900
y
Because I know that I want to give it x = 1440, y = 900 and yes I'm sure, thankyouverymuch. Now, in my batch file I can pipe this info to the widescreen weidu installer by calling:
type _custom-game\widescreen.txt | SETUP-WIDESCREEN.exe --language 0 --force-install-list 0 --skip-at-view
Also, you'll notice the skip at view. That skips the mass opening of readmes and docs after install that so many mods force on us. Hope that helps!
One thing I wonder is if I could setup
type "1440 900 y" | SETUP-WIDESCREEN.exe --language 0 --force-install-list 0 --skip-at-view
But the advantage of the text file method is more clear for level1npcs, where I have a file for a given type of class/proficiency and I can assign it while editing my master batch file.
