program i wrote to shutdown STALKER during a lockup/freeze

[LudLud]

As many of us know, when stalker freezes it doesn't let you alt tab or even open the task manager to close it, so you have to reboot by pressing the reset button.
I wrote a little program real quick in AutoIT using shift + alt + d, as a hotkey. It doesn't let me use any hotkeys while i'm in the game and I'm playing so it won't close if you press the hotkey when you are playing, but once it freezes you can shutdown the game with the hotkey.

thank you I will use this for other apps/games.

can you make it CTRL+alt+d?
that's the default hotkey for that under linux and well... it's more familiar...

[safan80]

it would be nice if you can just set the key your self via the config.

AHA! I definitely want to try this for school before I leave. Perhaps this will prevent the software that takes over our computers and allow us to game in peace!

I might add in a GUI and customizable hotkeys if there's enough interest, otherwise it's quite simple, you can download autoit and everything you need to know is in the help file, open the help file and search for hotkey, then it lists all the keys you can use, just change it in the script that i have and compile it :). It's easier than it sounds :P I'll add some stuff later
