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.
You can use absolute or relative paths. Relative paths will be taking the directory of Game.exe as current working directory.
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?
Exactly. But it's a bit problematic if you have the game already fullscreen.
Understood!
Thank you kindly for the tidbit of information. :3
