Guide - HOW TO POWERSHELL: A treatise on the post modern nouveau riche of Microsoft (1 Viewer)

G

gse7en

If you're running a recent version of Windows, you probably have Microsoft PowerShell at your disposal. When you press WinKey+X (or right click the start menu icon), you'll probably see two options for running Windows Powershell (one regular, one admin). Some of you heathens and blasphemers might have replaced it with Cmd prompt option, in which case shame on you and your generations of offspring and ancestors for many generations; go undo your filthy sin and make penance by learning that powershell does everything Cmd does except it looks better doing it.

So WTF is PowerShell anyway? It's a command line environment similar to Bash or whatever your favourite intelligent command line environment is. It's basically Cmd on crack. And getting to it is easy. There several ways to open PowerShell. The fastest is to open the start menu and simply type "PowerShell". Alternatively, you can do as I said above with WinKey+X. If you have a Windows Explorer window open, in the address bar, you can simply type "Powershell" to open a prompt at that directory. For now, however, let's open an even more powerful version of PowerShell by opening start and typing "Powershell ISE", which will open the Integrated Scripting Environment.

With the ISE open, you will see the powershell prompt in the bottom portion of the window. On the right pane, you will see a help index. In the upper bit of the window, you can see the scripting environment. At any time, you may enter input at the prompt as if it were a dedicated powershell console. Many of your familiar DOS commands will work as well. For example, you may do a "cd C:\EverQuest" to take you to that directory. You can do a "dir *.ini" to display all ini files (in a very low level way, as you'll see later.) Additionally, if you're like me, you will occasionally type Linux console commands at the prompt, such as "ls *.ini". Unlike previous eras in Windows, the console will no longer give you dirty looks and refuse to execute the command, it will just do the command.

That's well and good, gSe7eN, but what's the big fucking deal? Well, I don't appreciate your vulgarities, but the big fucking deal is, powershell is a big fucking deal. And even you can use it to do mindless menial tasks for EverQuest maintenance. For example, I use it to launch all my shit when I restart the PC. I have no friends (especially not @kaen01). I hate people, people hate me, but I like to raid. The practical solution is to not get over myself and learn to work with people, but rather 60 box (54 with a bench). As such, my challenges are greater than your challenges. So let's learn how to launch shit using powershell.

Powershell uses commands called CmdLets to do all the work. The first CmdLet this guide is going to teach you is the "Start-Process" CmdLet. This CmdLet…..starts a process. So "how the fuck does it work", you ask. Well, I'd tell you if you would stop swearing and interrupting me. The first thing we're going to open is MacroQuest2.exe. For me, that's located at D:\MQ2RG\Macroquest2.exe. So in powershell:

INI:
Start-Process -FilePath 'd:\MQ2RG\macroquest2.exe' -Verb RunAs

The first bit, -FilePath, tells the CmdLet which process to start. There's a second bit, -Verb. In this case, I'm telling this process to run as administer (as required by MQ2.exe). Assuming your path is the same as mine, you can copy and paste that directly into the PS console and execute it, macroquest2.exe will run immediately as administrating (with UAC prompt, if you have that enabled). Swell. I use InnerSpace for my window management so let's go ahead and start that.

INI:
Start-Process -FilePath 'D:\Program Files\isBoxer\InnerSpace.exe' -WindowStyle Minimized

You'll notice a new parameter, "-WindowStyle". -WindowStyle accepts "Normal", "Minimized", "Maximized", and "Hidden" (as we'll see in a few). I don't want to see InnerSpace, but I might later, so we'll start it minimized. Easy enough. I also start the MySEQ server, GINA, GamParse, and EQBCI. So....

Code:
Start-Process -FilePath 'd:\MQ2RG\MySEQ\server.exe'-WindowStyle Minimized -Verb RunAs
Start-Process -FilePath 'd:\MQ2RG\eqbci.exe' -WindowStyle Minimized
Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\Users\gSe7eN The Best\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\X9ENEG3A.7AT\8DG44H21.L1E\gina..tion_d03ba0016bff7a04_0001.0000_01c7bcb8e29f5572\gina.exe' -WindowStyle Minimized
Start-Process -FilePath 'd:\MQ2RG\Utilities\GamParse-1.5.2.20.exe'-WindowStyle Minimized

Nothing new there. I also start FIVE processes of the EQBC server (this allows me to be dynamic if I need certain groups in or out of certain server.) Five is probably over kill, but RAM is cheap, why not put it to work. I also don't want to run EQBCS as a service because I don't want it running unless I'm playing EQ. Plus I run five of them. Like such:

INI:
Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden -FilePath D:\MQ2RG\eqbcs2.exe -ArgumentList "-p 2111"
Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden -FilePath D:\MQ2RG\eqbcs2.exe -ArgumentList "-p 2112"
Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden -FilePath D:\MQ2RG\eqbcs2.exe -ArgumentList "-p 2113"
Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden -FilePath D:\MQ2RG\eqbcs2.exe -ArgumentList "-p 2114"
Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden -FilePath D:\MQ2RG\eqbcs2.exe -ArgumentList "-p 2115"

I've hidden the windows completely as you can see. I don't need to see input/output ever, so they're removed from view. Out of sight, out of mind. You'll notice a new parameter, "ArgumentList". In dos, you'd simply run 'eqbcs2.exe -p 2111" to specify the port. In the object oriented world of C# and PowerShell, we use -ArgumentList ""

(InnerSpace stuff warning!) And hell, we might as well launch some EverQuest boxes. Let's do 18 of them, eh? My team is called "Doctor Death and Friends". Let's do it.

INI:
Start-Process -FilePath 'D:\Program Files\isBoxer\InnerSpace.exe' -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList "run isboxer -launchslot `"Doctor Death and Friends`" 1"
Start-Sleep -s 1
Start-Process -FilePath 'D:\Program Files\isBoxer\InnerSpace.exe' -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList "run isboxer -launchslot `"Doctor Death and Friends`" 2"
Start-Sleep -s 1
Start-Process -FilePath 'D:\Program Files\isBoxer\InnerSpace.exe' -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList "run isboxer -launchslot `"Doctor Death and Friends`" 3"
Start-Sleep -s 1
//snip//
Start-Process -FilePath 'D:\Program Files\isBoxer\InnerSpace.exe' -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList "run isboxer -launchslot `"Doctor Death and Friends`" 17"
Start-Sleep -s 1
Start-Process -FilePath 'D:\Program Files\isBoxer\InnerSpace.exe' -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList "run isboxer -launchslot `"Doctor Death and Friends`" 18"
Start-Sleep -s 1

Couple things to notice here. -ArgumentList is wrapped in inverted commas (or quotation marks, for the yanks). BUT the InnerSpace argument requires the same. We can escape these with a backtick/grave character. Also, you've learnt your second CmdLet, "Start-Sleep". You might notice that CmdLets use a Verb-Noun relationship (If you haven't figured that out yet, spoiler alert) so you can sort of tell what the command does without the need to memorise 9,000 different commands. Start-Sleep pauses 1 second between execution, otherwise InnerSpace, being the big jock-like idiot software that it is, goes thick headed and stupid, so you need to slow down your instruction so it understands.

Note: if you're using a Microsoft network (and if you are, you already know this stuff, and if you don't know this stuff, then you stole Windows Server from TPB, in which case I spit on your father and piss on your mother), you can send these commands to other PC's on the network to launch any apps you need there.

The next thing to learn is how to shut all this shit down. That's pretty easy, and we're going to learn how to pipe information from one CmdLet to another. So let's learn the Get part of the CmdLets. In this case, we're going to Get-Process. This fetches information about a process, like so:

INI:
Get-Process -Name macroquest2.exe
Handles  NPM(K)    PM(K)      WS(K)     CPU(s)     Id  SI ProcessName                                                                         
-------  ------    -----      -----     ------     --  -- -----------                                                                         
    210      14     3144      12052       0.31    884   1 MacroQuest2

We're going to take that information and give it to the Stop-Process command.

INI:
 Get-Process -Name Macroquest2 | Stop-Process

And just like that, RIP MQ2. You'll notice the Pipe character separating those two CmdLets. It is indeed a pipe and not some strange, illogical division between two unrelated ideas in a bloated and complicated ini file. It's a pipe, like a bridge, that takes information from the first bit and feeds it to the second bit.

But why stop at murder one when we can go serial:

INI:
 Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.Path -like "D:\mq2rg\eqbcs2.exe"} | Stop-Process

Repeat until you're content.

Everything is well and good, but all of a sudden, @kaen01 breaks his restraining order and finally locates my crew to personally sexually harass each of them. #MeToo. It's time to transfer servers and change our names OR perhaps time to roll a new team on a new server until he starts perving on the new ones. That leaves a lot of file editing we have to do for our new characters. In the second case, we want to copy settings and what-not, but keep the old ones. Regex and powershell to the rescue!

INI:
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*Hugglebear*" | Where-Object Name -Match '(.*)Hugglebear(.*)' | Copy-Item -Destination { $Ma
tches.1 + 'Softteddybearodeathnlove' + $Matches.2}

My previous character was named Hugglebear. I'm going to roll a new character named Softteddybearodeathnlove. We're going to go to our EverQuest directory, and give that command. It's going to find all Hugglebear's files, it's then going to analyse Hugglebear's files with Regex (-Match 'regex'), then it's going to copy those files renaming the old to the new, giving you two sets of files, Hugglebear's and Softteddybearodeathnlove's. I'll probably do this same thing within my MQ2 directory. (Note well, adding -WhatIf to the end of the line will do a practice run, showing you what will be done.)

But, I decide it's time to move Hugglebear to a new server (or transfer to test). Unfortunately, some bellend prick already has the name Hugglebear on the new server. That's a lot of new setup in MacroQuest2 that I'd rather avoid. So, powershell to the rescue, in conjunction with everything above, let's change all the old reference in MQ2 to the new ones. So, in our MQ2 directory:

INI:
$configFiles = Get-ChildItem . *.ini -rec
foreach ($file in $configFiles)
{
    (Get-Content $file.PSPath) |
    Foreach-Object { $_ -replace "Hugglebear", "Hugglebearexexe" } |
    Set-Content $file.PSPath
}

So that's my UI, my autologin, my autogroup, my EQBC, etc etc etc, sorted. MIght as well do file names, as well.

INI:
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*Hugglebear*" -Recurse -Path 'D:\MQ2RG\' | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -repla
ce 'Hugglebear','Hugglebearexexe' }

And assuming we did transfer to test rather than another live server, and we're on an m.2 drive and storage space is a premium where we don't want two different explicit EQ installs, we can keep the files for test and live in folders called "Test" and "Live" and switch between the two of them with a simple powershell script.

INI:
$EQDir = "C:\EverQuest"
$live = "C:\EverQuest\Live"
$test = "C:\EverQuest\Test"
$mq2l = "D:\MQ2RG\Macroquest2.exe"
$mq2t = "D:\MQ2RG - Copy\Macroquest2.exe"
Get-ChildItem -Path $EQDir -Filter EQGraphicsDX9.dll | Remove-Item
Get-ChildItem -Path $EQDir -Filter eqhost.txt | Remove-Item
Get-ChildItem -Path $EQDir -Filter eqmain.dll | Remove-Item
Get-ChildItem -Path $EQDir -Filter eqgame.exe | Remove-Item
Get-ChildItem -Path $EQDir -Filter OptionsEditor.exe | Remove-Item
Get-ChildItem -Path $test -Filter EQGraphicsDX9.dll | Copy-Item -Destination $EQDir
Get-ChildItem -Path $test -Filter eqhost.txt | Copy-Item -Destination $EQDir
Get-ChildItem -Path $test -Filter eqmain.dll | Copy-Item -Destination $EQDir
Get-ChildItem -Path $test -Filter eqgame.exe | Copy-Item -Destination $EQDir
Get-ChildItem -Path $test -Filter OptionsEditor.exe | Copy-Item -Destination $EQDir
Get-Process -Name macroquest2 | Stop-Process
Start-Process -FilePath $mq2t -verb runAs

You can figure out how to reverse from test to live pretty easily but re-arranging the above.

So that's a basic introducing to both Microsoft Windows PowerShell and Kaen01 brand sexual harassment.

For reference on the latter, you should message Kaen01 directly, his rates are reasonable.

For Windows PowerShell reference, either consult The (Quite Good In Fact) Fucking Manual: HERE.. Any questions about PowerShell, Regex, Object Oriented Programming, or Programming in general should contact resident staff member and God's Gift's to Code, Chats.

Good write-up. While powershell > traditional windows CLI from the DOS days (which has gotten better with w10) it still seems like MS tries to make some of the commands way more complicated then they need to be. There's also the subsystem you can install to windows if you're more of a *nix guy now.

Dear god, how am I now just finding out about this?! Even though the guide is awesome, I kept thinking, "Why can't the commands be more line *nix?"

Although, I've know become more used to the PowerShell stuff thanks to gse7ven!

Here's an example of a script that patches a live install of EQ to a test install without using the patcher. What it does: Kills MQ2.exe. It moves the files in the FileList.txt to EQ\Live and moves the same files from EQ\Test too .\EQ. It also unzips the test version of VV, puts it in my MQ2 directory, and cleans itself up. The next challenge, of course, is to check to see if there's a newer RedGuides VV zip and download it if there is. But we're not there yet.
 
Here's a great one by Alynel. Knightly wrote the Credentials part and I made it work within Alynel's original script. This depends on Credential Manager from the powershell marketplace. Just remove that bit if you don't feel like adding it. What this does simply grabs the newest RedGuides Very Vanilla zip. Change cd $env:MyCloud\MQ2RG to where ever you want the zip downloaded.

csharp:
$MyCredentials = Get-StoredCredential -Target "RedGuides"
        if($MyCredentials -eq $null) {
            $MyUsername = Read-Host -Prompt 'Input your user ID'
            $MyPassword = Read-Host -Prompt 'Input your password' -AsSecureString
            New-StoredCredential -Target "RedGuides" -UserName $MyUsername -SecurePassword $MyPassword -Persist Enterprise -Type Generic | Out-Null
            $MyCredentials = Get-StoredCredential -Target "RedGuides"
        }

    return $session
}

$username = $MyCredentials.UserName
$password = $MyCredentials.Password

# Or persist session

foreach ($kvp in $downloads.GetEnumerator()) {
    $filename = $kvp.Key
    $url = $kvp.Value["url"]
    $pattern = $kvp.Value["regex"]
    

    $req = iwr -Uri $url -WebSession $session

    $match = [regex]::Match($req.Content, $pattern)

    if ($match.Success) {
        Write-Host "Downloading $filename"
        $dl = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.redguides.com$($match.Captures.Groups[1])" -WebSession $session -OutFile $filename -PassThru
        
        if ($dl.StatusCode -ne 200) {
            Write-Error "Failed to download $filename"
        }
    } else {
        Write-Error "Failed to download $filename"
    }

}

I use this in conjunction with something like this.

        }

$PCNames = "localhost","BOB","MONSTER", "Plexi"

Ok, I've been running some Powershell scripts for a while now and really like the convenience of them.
However... Just upgraded my second PC to Win10 and of course.. doesn't want to play nice with, well basically anything and everything!
My "EQ Stop.ps1" script wouldn't work any more. (I just right click and select "Run with PoweSshell)
I loaded it up in the Powershell editor and it was full of "Access Denied". I figured I needed to run it as admin so I set out to get it running as admin.
Here's what I found, a little snippet to add to the top of what ever you need to have run at an elevated level.



Code:
     # Self-elevate the script if required
    if (-Not ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] 'Administrator')) {
     if ([int](Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -ExpandProperty BuildNumber) -ge 6000) {
      $CommandLine = "-File `"" + $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path + "`" " + $MyInvocation.UnboundArguments
      Start-Process -FilePath PowerShell.exe -Verb Runas -ArgumentList $CommandLine
      Exit
     }
    }

# My code to stop my EQ related stuff.

Stop-Process -Name 'ISBoxer Toolkit'
Stop-Process -Name EQBCS-eqmule
Stop-Process -Name MacroQuest2
Stop-Process -Name InnerSpace
Stop-Process -Name notepad++
 
Have you configured and set the execution policy in powershell? Can also invoke a script with -ExecutionPolicy Bypass if you’re a little more concerned about security and only want it to bypass at runtime.

Windows 10 powershell is really good. Windows 10 itself needs a bit of work but is still the best version of Windows ever. And this summer, Windows command line tools will be better than they’ve ever been so console users rejoice.
 
INI:
Stop-Process -Name EQBCS-eqmule
Stop-Process -Name notepad++

This should be ever green and put in task scheduler to run every 30 seconds just in case there’s an accident and these things somehow start to run for any reason.
 
Awesome post. Thanks for sharing.

I am getting a UAC prompt for elevation each time a character slot is launching. Do you happen to know a way around the UAC prompts? Without disabling it, I mean. :)
 
Does anyone else dislike post-modernism??

this looks awesome by the way. I hope one day I have the time to jump into all of this.

You're getting a UAC prompt from MacroQuest? It runs elevated. But otherwise, if whatever script you use to launch is set to "run as administrator" then everything launched from it will run as admin (so just the one click at the start is necessary). You'll always have to click elevate at least once since MQ2 checks for admin.
