An addon to delete files in screenshot folder?

Is there a way to make a addon to delete my files in the screenshot folder? I'm about to use d303 fix and use the screenshot method but I don't want a bunch of screenshots in the folder that take up 2 MB per.

Nope.

Add-ons do not have the ability to delete files at all. This is done on purpose otherwise it would allow bad add-ons to delete important system files etc. No one wants that.

Firstly, do not use the "d303 fix" at all, unless you want your game installation to be completely screwed up.

Secondly, just open Explorer (not Internet Explorer), navigate to your RoM Screenshots folder, select one file, press CTRL+A, then hit the Delete key.

Silly lazy person. :D

I'm not aware of any addon that can do this, but it is possible to write a Windows Command Script that will clear the folder for you and then launch RoM.

You can write this using Notepad and the 2 lines will be something like:

Quoted

del /a "c:\program files\runes of magic\screenshots\*.bmp"
c:\program files\runes of magic\Runes of Magic.exe


Whilst I could provide you with the 2 full lines you need, they would be specific to my own system and may not work for you at all.

I provide no guarantee that this will work, but perhaps you should replace the "/a" switch on the del command with "/p" until you are sure it works.

/a will automatically delete whereas the /p will make the system prompt you for confirmation.

Just curious, since I was gone so long, what is it the d303 fix screws up?

In the first place, the d303fix addon is old--last updated 9/2010, which should mitigate against its use. Also, since its last release/update, RW has removed most time and date function calls out of the client, which could make the addon misbehave.

Finally, this is what I said last year about d303fix (after asking about its continued use): http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthr…ll=1#post522784

I advise against its use, but if Garmulan wants to try it out...Sit user cavete! (Let the user beware)

d303fix does nothing except parsing either itemshop sale time or screenshot filename on creation (system message). but it was coded badly and caused some problems.

if you have clock dependent stuff just use MorphClock

Works fine for me. What it does is make the timestamp function from pbinfo work correctly. Now that's important to me because I like having my time stamped on chat messages so I know when something happened. My time is different from the server time (okay technically it's not since I'm MST and servers are on PDT) and Thalia server should be on AEST but it's not. It's still on PDT with the other US servers. Yes, the Australians just love having Tempest Heights at 4 am and noon their time. (And if you believe that last statement, let me tell you about the new classes coming April 31st :D )

I've rarely had any problems with RoM (other than the lag/memory leaks).
