DP2DEMO - Windows Shell Extension to launce demos
« on: May 22, 2007, 06:03:10 PM »
I stripped down cure's demoplay for paintball2.
http://cure.gamepoint.net/demoplay/cure_demoplay_windows.html

Q: What is it?
A: It's some scripting that will let you right click a demo file anywhere on your computer and run the demo by clicking "Play Demo" on your right-click shell menu.

Q: My dpball isn't installed to C:\Games\Paintball2\, will it still work?
A: You'll need to modify the files, but they're pretty noob friendly so it shouldn't be too hard for you to get it to work.

Q: How does it run the demo from ANYWHERE?
A: It copies the demo to pball/demos/tempdemo.dm2 and runs that.

Q: How do I uninstall?
A: Run the "uninstall.reg" file and then delete the dp2demo directory.

Q: Will this work on Vista?
A: Maybe, I only tested it on XP and Win2K.

Q: Who has mad hops?
A: Spook does, and you can open his jump demos easily using this.

Instructions on dp2demo:
1. Download the attached file
2. Extract so that the dp2demo directory is C:\Games\Paintball2\dp2demo\
3. Double-click "install.reg" to add the registry key (for shell extension)
4. Right click a .dm2 file (from any directory) and click the "Play Demo" option on your shell extension
5. Enjoy!

You don't need to, they automatically go to the pball/demos folder, go into your pball/demos folder, right-click on the <demo-name>.dm2, and click "Play Demo". If you installed it right then it should work fine with any demo anywhere.

I had changed the title to make it more descriptive as to what it did.  I was also considering it for sticky status as I think it's a great idea.

But apparently you don't so no worries...
