Wait Requester
The initial Wait Requester acts as gate to all steamtinkerlaunch configuration options.
If selected within a timeout the Start Menu (by default the Main Menu) will open, else the game starts seamlessly with all configurations set. It also
- shows when and how long the game was last played
- shows if and how many game-related config files were found
- shows if editable (possible) game config files are found
- and displays the overall ProtonDB Rating
The Wait requester will wait WAITEDITOR seconds for User input (either Space or press OK)
When WAITEDITOR is set to 0 (in the Game Menu) steamtinkerlaunch will directly start the game with the current configuration.
If MAXASK in the Global Config (f.e. via [Global Menu](https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Global Menu)) is defined, the requester can be cancelled maximal MAXASK times
before WAITEDITOR is automatically set to 0 for the selected game.
Letting the requester timeout does not count as cancelled.
The "Cancelled counter" is stored directly in the Game Config as ASKCNT
and is resetted to 0 when MAXASK was reached and WAITEDITOR was set to 0.
The Wait Requester can also be altered via Command Line using the waitrequester|wr command line option with an additional argument:
waitrequester|wr <option>
where <option>
can be one of:
-
e: nable the waitrequester for the launched game. (only useful for games where it has been permanently viaWAITEDITORset to 0 (see above)) -
s:kip the Wait Requester temporarily (*1) for all upcoming games -
u: nskip the temporary(*1) waitrequester skip (only useful if it temporary sip was activated before)
*1: The Wait Requester is automatically skipped if the file /dev/shm/steamtinkerlaunch/SWR.txt does exist.
