Dark Souls PTDE Launch Script with DSCM

Wulf's Dark Souls Connection Manager (DSCM) is amazing, but I keep forgetting where I put it!

This script launches Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition through Steam and opens your installation of DSCM.

Note: This script is not affiliated with DSCM or Dark Souls in any way.

Prerequisites

• Windows 10*
• Steam
• Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition through Steam**
• Wulf's DSCM

* This script has only been tested on Windows 10, but it should work on Windows 7. I have no clue if it will work on anything older than that, but please let me know if you find out!

** To my knowledge, Dark Souls Remastered does not need DSCM, so this script is useless for it. You can still modify the script to launch it if you want to, though!

Usage

1. Download this repository (or just copy/paste the raw script text into your own script file).
2. Copy/cut/paste the ds1_dscm_launcher.bat script to wherever you want it.
3. Open the file in your preferred text editor (like Notepad++). Make sure you right-click the file and select "Edit"! Double-clicking the script will run it.
4. Change the DSCM_EXE variable to the full path to your DSCM.exe.
5. Double-click the script to run it. Dark Souls should launch through Steam and DSCM with start.

Optional

• Create a Desktop shortcut to the script. You can also put the script directly on your Desktop.
• Rename the script/shortcut.
• Change the script or shortcut icon.
  • To do this, right-click the script/shortcut, click "Properties". Under the "Shortcut" tab, click "Change Icon...", click "OK" on the window about no icons in the current file appears, and "Browse..." for an icon.
  • Steam game icons are usually stored in `path/to/Steam/steam/games`. The game executable will also usually have an icon you can select.

Modification

This script is licensed under CC0-1.0, meaning I am giving up all copyrights and you can do whatever you want with it (not legal advice), so have fun using and modifying it to your heart's content! The only thing I ask, and this is not required at all, is that you let me know what cool things you do with it or any lessons you learned that I could apply as well!
