okay i have made a few launchers for some games and im having a issue with the splash screen not showing up can someone take a look at them for me?
Heres the forum post for one of them: https://portableapps.com/node/20578
also can someone tell me how i can turn my launchers into paf live launchers so the files get downloaded automatically for people?
you can check the OpenSonicPortable.nsi file in the opensonic launcher and stuff if you need to look at the coding of the .nsi file
pastebin the source please.

I've found sometimes you're better off scraping the launcher and starting over. (I'm doing that with camstudio. Its so old, I'm just gonna grab the latest source and rewrite the main section.)
SettingsFound:
StrCmp $DISABLESPLASHSCREEN "true" GetPassedParameters
;=== Show the splash screen before processing the files
${ConfigRead} "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\config.xml" ' ' +5
InitPluginsDir
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpg "${NAME}.jpg"
newadvsplash::show /NOUNLOAD /PASSIVE 1500 0 0 -1 /L $PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpg
Goto GetPassedParameters
InitPluginsDir
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpg "${NAME}.jpg"
newadvsplash::show /NOUNLOAD 1500 0 0 -1 /L $PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpg
Any reason you've decided to show the splash screen twice? I've not studied it all, but I think you'd be better off just doing this:
StrCmp $DISABLESPLASHSCREEN "true" GetPassedParameters
;=== Show the splash screen before processing the files
InitPluginsDir
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpg "${NAME}.jpg"
newadvsplash::show /NOUNLOAD
/PASSIVE1500 0 0 -1 /L $PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpgand add
${ConfigRead} "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\config.xml" ' ' +5
to the
WriteSettings:
section. This computer is awful slow so I can't try to compile and test it, but I think that this would be a start of a help.Also, check your splash screen call against the call in one of the latest applications. At the very least, you don't need the passive call.

okay ill try to do so but i doubt ill be able to. Seeing im such a neew when it comes to these things. But like i always say never say never. so ill give it a shot and ill try to rewrite the nsi file.
Edit: i took a better look at what u said and i notice that now lol. but i dont exactly know where to add the
${ConfigRead} "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\config.xml" ' ' +5
can u give me a specific place to put it and thanx for the help.
2 Edit: okay i tried adding that but when i tried to make the exe it still doesnt show the splash.jpg. ill keep messing around but if u could edit the nsi file for me and change them so i could compare and contrast the two. I would be very greatful seeing that i dont know what im doing at the moment lol. im sort of lost when i start looking at all the script.

i really want to fix this error and i don't know how. i don't want OpenSonic Portable and Smart Pacman portable to be one of those apps that get forgotten for a year or so. i put to much work into it already. I hope someone will be able to check the entire nsi file and figure out my problem. i have tried so many things and nothings working. Its probably cuz i'm a noob and don't know what i'm doing.
Also thank you to all those who are putting up with me and trying to help. even with all the funny link mistakes that are actually quite funny. It cheers me up when i cant figure out what i'm doing lol. i get lost in the nsi scripting all the time. i feel ill never be able to fully understand it.

You'll get there. Hint: Notepad++ or Geany or HMNIS Edit is very helpful.
