[RESOLVED] Running an EXE via XP?

[Jragyn]

Is it possible to run an executable from a script or something while inside a game.exe?

Intentions:
 Utilizing a map or something within RMXP to act as a "launcher" for executing other game programs inside the project folder.

ie:
 Having a map with some chara/events on it, inwhich you talk to them and it executes a minigame program (like minesweeper lets say).

This possible or probable?

Sure.

system('EXE_PATH')

You can use absolute or relative paths. Relative paths will be taking the directory of Game.exe as current working directory.

[Jragyn]

Erm, so then, using this:

system('Minigames/othergame.exe')

would run the executable in a folder named "Minigames" within the project folder of wherever Game.exe is located?

[Blizzard]

Exactly. But it's a bit problematic if you have the game already fullscreen.

[Jragyn]

Understood!
Thank you kindly for the tidbit of information. :3
