So i introduced the -nogui flag in the .bat file : it does what i want,
but
everything slows down terribly, does anybody know why and what to do about it?
When using -nogui on a Windows machine, you need to put a netreceive object in your patch somehwere (you don't have to connect it or use it, just have it there) or Pd will run extremely slowly.
Also: once i have opened the patch without gui, how do i close it?
The gripd Pd object has two outlets. One sends a 0 or 1 reporting connection status, the other sends a 0 or 1 reporting if the gripd gui window is visible (but only if the gui window is running on the same machine as Pd). So you can connect these outlets to a ";pd quit" message so that when the window is closed or the connection is lost Pd quits.
