Map Previews Addon For Zorch's Menus

[ViciouZ]

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.

Wooooooooooooo!

Known Bugs:

• Some map thumbnails are missing
• Regardless of location, runpball script always runs latest install.

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.
