[gme-users] how to convert .mga -> .xmp from a script?

[Zoltan Molnar]

In the code snippet Peter proposed if you replace the GME_EMBEDDED_START
with GME_SILENT_MODE ( = 128) then the metainterpreter will execute silently
and will produce its output xmp file in c:\temp.

COMTHROW(mgaLauncher->RunComponent(progID, mgaProject, NULL, NULL,
 GME_EMBEDDED_START));

Corresponding to this, any BON(2) interpreter could do a test in 

void Component::invokeEx( Project& project, FCO& currentFCO, const
std::set<FCO>& setSelectedFCOs, long lParam )
{
  bool silent_mode = (lParam == GME_SILENT_MODE);
  ...
}

For such a metainterpreter for GME4.5.18 see
