New script revision
I tried to localize all variable you need to set manually in the begining.
Threads count is now AHK work!
This is 2 in 1 script.
(May be one day I will do 3 in 1 for any map editor... but now I think it will work if you change all FAF Client staff to your Map Editor staff)
My steam shortcut simply runs script
[{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]

My faf client shortcut runs SAME script with command line parameter faf
Object value is:
"D:\Program Files\SC FAF borderleess.ahk" faf
image url)
One Script to run them all!
if I
- run it with command line parameter faf (no matter file name) or
- rename script file into FAF borderleess.ahk
it will run FAF Client
- else it will run game from steam (if file name NOT starts with "faf").
Note:
If file name starts from FAF it will allways run FAF, so you can have 2 copies like "faf script.ahk" and "sc script.ahk" to run game if you don't want to use command line parameter:
- "faf script.ahk" will run only multiplayer, and
- "sc script.ahk" will run singleplayer by default and multiplayer if called with parameter faf
Problem:
"D:\Program Files\Downlord's FAF Client\downlords-faf-client.exe" is not starting client... but "downlords-faf-client.exe" works fine (if script is in faf client's dir)...
so i am calling this script from fake faf shortcut to call another faf client shortcut from it...
Interesting thing is that AHK tells me "File exists" if I'm giving it my full path... but can't run it...
About runnig game with command line args:
AHK can do it, but some trying, AHK docks reading and googlesearching may be needed. I left some tips in code as comments, maybe it will be helpfull.
File D:\Program Files\SC FAF borderleess.ahk:

; single player game link from steam or normal file path
pathOrLinkGame := "steam://rungameid/9420"
; multiplayer client path
pathOrLinkClient := "D:\Program Files\downlords-faf-client.lnk"
; problem:
; "D:\Program Files\Downlord's FAF Client\downlords-faf-client.exe"
; is not starting client... but "downlords-faf-client.exe" works...
; but then this script must be in faf client dir...
; so i am calling this script from shortcut to call faf shortcut from it...
; if you run game with command line parameters add them in path string,
; for example path := "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe --help"
; works fine, note: in *.lnk Object string works like
; "my.exe" myArg1
; but here it will be like path := "my.exe myArg1"
; Some tips from AHK docks:
; If path/link string contains any commas, they must be escaped
; as shown three times in the following example:
; Run rundll32.exe shell32.dll`,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl`,`, 3
; It opens Control Panel > Display Properties > Settings
; To include an actual quote character inside a quoted string,
; specify two consecutive quotes as shown twice in this example:
; "She said, ""An apple a day.""".
; usually you don't need to cheange anythig else bellow
; you can uncomment DEBUG MESSAGE STRING bellow
; to check how script have autoset some variables
; process (*.exe) names for game and faf client

; it will set singlePlayer to false in 2 cases:
; case 1:
; script runs with command line argument "faf" or "FAF"
; for example Object field in *.lnk:
; "D:\Program Files\SC FAF borderleess.ahk" faf
; case 2:
; file name of this script starts with "FAF..." or "faf.."
