OJPEnhanced .bat to .sh Steamdeck Launch?

[ImperialRemains]

I'm trying to figure out how to launch OJPEnhanced through Steam on the Deck. Without loading it after the game starts which even on windows causes it to not work 100%.

I assume there is a way to convert the .bat code to .sh Unix code or some Launch arguments but I don't know how.

.bat Code; start jamp.exe +set fs_game ojpenhanced

I found a convert table but nothing for "start" or "+set"

Just thinking out loud, but isn't the Deck supposed to just run custom games within Steam, and then you can set launch options for your parameters in there?

I might also be a bit confused what your setup is.

Yes for .Exe but not for .bat.

I don't know much about coding or launch parameters to begin with, I'm having trouble trying to find a way to convert that .bat command to a .sh or launch command for steam to actually load into OJPEnhanced initially.

I  think you're supposed to launch the .exe file through Steam, then add launch parameters for your extra stuff.

See if adding +set fs_game ojpenhanced as a launch parameter in Steam does what you need.

Well my bad.. that worked.. I had tried it once but, with a Win-disc copy probably not cracked as I have ISO for win launch. so it was erroring..

that worked with my steam version.

Actually it was erroring because it seems Steam does some other parameters for launching SP/MP that makes the code not work if it's a "non-steam" game. Tested with Steam jkja install.

I was hoping to launch the mod separate from base Steam version, the copy I had separate was the Steam version afterall.

I believe "start" just launches a program in the background, it's used so the .bat doesn't cause a command line window to stay open while the game is running. The shell equivalent is putting a & behind the command, but you probably don't need that when launching through Steam. The "+set fs_game ojpenhanced" are arguments sent to and interpreted by jamp.exe, which are the same on all operating systems.

I understand that you're trying to run Windows binaries through Steam/proton, but if you were using native linux binaries instead and not running through Steam, the equivalent shell script would look like this:

#!/bin/sh
./jamp +set fs_game ojpenhanced &

Note that linux binaries don't end in .exe, and you have to prefix them with ./ because the current directory is not part of the search path for safety reasons.

But for this you'd need a linux version of both jamp (or one of the sourceports like openjk) and OJP Enhanced. I'm not sure if OJP Enhanced provides pre-built linux binaries, or even builds on linux at all.

Since you already have it working through Steam, I wouldn't worry about it, unless you encounter bugs.

Thank you for your help and info.

Now I remember why I needed it to run as "Non Steam" game.. can't load a second instance of the game for playing on LAN server as the game is already launched still as the server.. if anyone knows how to make that happen.
