Author Topic: Demo Browser (Read 5083 times)

I made a demo browser, as the auto-recorded demos' filenames are hard to decipher at first glance.

It's pretty simple. They're organized by year, then month. Double-click to view. Only works with auto-recorded demos, as they're the only ones that are hard to play/read and that I can get the date/time of. Be warned, this is my first project in C++ so for all I know it'll destroy your freaking computer or something. Suggestions welcome.

Bravo Eiii,

I applaud anyone who has taken the jump to try coding and turning it in to a contribution to DP.

Good Job.

The Windows comes, but there is no menu. Everythink is white.

My paintball is at: I:\Paintball 2 (Build 19)\
U use the complete location or only pball\demos\ ?

Mm, sorry. Released too late at night, and I didn't remember to implement that. It assumes your paintball is in C:\games\paintball2, but I'll get right on having it read from registry.

Eiii,

Don't get it to read from the registry, have a user entered folder option, or perhaps both wit hthe user being able to change the install location.

Eiii · « **Reply #5 on:** August 15, 2007, 06:50:05 AM »

Okay, done. It now reads from the registry, provided you don't supply a path in the command line argument(s).

For example, in T3RROR15T's case:

Code: [Select]

"*path*DemoBrowser-GUI.exe" I:\Paintball2 (Build 19)in the shortcut path or whatever would make his work, if that data wasn't reflected in the registry.

Everything should work, and to the extent I've tested it, it does. But who knows.

This happens right when I start it up. :/

What's in your registry for pb2's install directory? Current user and local machine.

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #8 on:** August 15, 2007, 09:01:43 AM »

"C:\paintball2b19" for both of them.

Huh. I don't know, then. To sort!

Works fine for me. thx

I put it in pball/demos and it isn't working I get an error no auto demos.

Eiii · « **Reply #12 on:** August 15, 2007, 05:37:18 PM »

Where you put it doesn't matter. You probably got that error because you have no automatically recorded demos. OR, you installed paintball and then moved it so that the registry is wrong. See my comments above on command-line arguments.

Apocalypse · « **Reply #13 on:** August 15, 2007, 05:51:11 PM »

Oh yes I did move it how would I fix it?

So should I insert that except with my location into the code or would you have to do that.

Eiii · « **Reply #16 on:** August 15, 2007, 06:05:23 PM »

Put it here.

Apocalypse · « **Reply #17 on:** August 15, 2007, 06:10:40 PM »

Ahh.... it works like a dream thanks Eiii and great job.

Eiii · « **Reply #18 on:** August 15, 2007, 06:11:25 PM »

Thanks, good to know that that works.

Apocalypse · « **Reply #19 on:** August 15, 2007, 06:12:44 PM »

Sorry to say this but if I double click on anything I get an error I can still sort through to look at what month they were all recorded in though.
