Title: Map Previews Addon For Zorch's Menus
Post by: ViciouZ on August 31, 2007, 12:32:51 PM
Ok, you people wanted it so I made it. The install is a tiny bit more complicated than usual. Unzip the files to your paintball2 directory, then change start menu/desktop shortcuts so they point to paintball2/runpball.bat INSTEAD of paintball2/paintball2.exe. Now it checks for new maps everythime paintball is run. Woo!

Zorch for making menus that are SuPaRkOoL.
Cobo for writing the menu tutorial on the wiki (I think).
sk89q for his map thumbnails.
Me for doing the coding.

Wooooooooooooo!

Hmm. I don't like the idea of third party apps. I would much rather have everything native. I guess this would work for a 'quick fix', but its a bit complicated for my likings. Good work though.

Yeah, it's just a quick fix until menu variables are implemented.

Correct.

Edit:
Oh, when you said you were doing the map preview thing I thought you meant actual coding on the client.

Nah... it'll be a couple of years before I can even attempt that.
