A universal melonloader mod that automatically launches and closes specified external programs with the game.

• Programs that are not closed when quit will cause Steam to think the game is still running.

To add a program to your Autolaunch, you need to edit the [GameFolder]/UserData/AutoStartConfig.json file. This file is being generated right when you start the game with the mod installed for the first time.
It looks as follows:

{
  "ProgramList": [
    {
      "FilePath": "",
      "Arguments": "",
      "StartMinimized": false,
      "CloseOnQuit": false,
      "VROnly": true
    }
  ]
}

"FilePath": You need to add the full path to executable (.exe file)
"Arguments": if you need any, can leave empty.
"StartMinimized": determines if the program should be started minimized or normally.
"CloseOnQuit": determines if the program should close whenever the game is closed. Values are either false or true.
"VROnly": determines if the program should be autostarted only in VR or always. Values are either false or true.

{
  "ProgramList": [
    {
      "FilePath": "path/to/executable1",
      "Arguments": "",
      "StartMinimized": false,
      "CloseOnQuit": false,
      "VROnly": true
    },
    {
      "FilePath": "path/to/executable2",
      "Arguments": "",
      "StartMinimized": true,
      "CloseOnQuit": true,
      "VROnly": false
    },
    {
      "FilePath": "path/to/executable3",
      "Arguments": "--debug",
      "StartMinimized": false,
      "CloseOnQuit": true,
      "VROnly": true
    }
  ]
}
