Etqw demoviewer 0 8

README

ETQW Demoviewer 0.8 ( UPGRADERS PLEASE READ BELOW )
-------------------

With our Demoviewer you can doubleclick and play ETQW demos from any paths.

After you have extracted the etqw-demoviewer.zip archive, you must start etqw_demoviewer.exe once.

In the first step, please select the path to your ETQW installation, in example:
c:\games\ETQW

In the second step, please select the path to your ETQW profile, in example (please change "yourusername"):
c:\documents and settings\yourusername\My Documents\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars

In the third step, please select the path to your ETQW profile sdnet\username\base, in example (please change "yourusername"):
c:\documents and settings\yourusername\My Documents\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\sdnet\yourusername

After this and all paths are set correctly, a new etqw-demos.ini file was created in the 
extracted etqw_demoviewer folder.

All settings are done now. Click with your right mousebutton on a ETQW demo, in example demo00001.ndm , 
select open and select the etqw_demoviewer.exe from the extracted archive.

Now ETQW loads and starts your demo. After that, you can quit ETQW and in the future you can doubleclick
*.ndm files on any paths and watch demos.


UPGRADERS FROM 0.1-0.4 TO 0.6 or below PLEASE READ!
----------------------------
Delete etqw-demos.ini and start etqw_demoviewer.exe once to set your new sdnet path (without base, see changelog). You can do it manually,
open etqw-demos.ini and edit 
c:\documents and settings\yourusername\My Documents\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\sdnet\yourusername\base
to
c:\documents and settings\yourusername\My Documents\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\sdnet\yourusername
without the \base


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPGRADERS FROM 0.1-0.3 TO 0.4 PLEASE READ!
----------------------------
You must delete etqw-demos.ini and start etqw_demoviewer.exe once to set your sdnet path (needed for demo controls). If you didn?t set
your sdnet\username\base path, you loose your Numpad Keysettings! 
The sdnet path must set to sdnet\user\base , example: my documents\id software\enemy territory - quake wars\sdnet\username\base

You can change etqw-demos.ini per hand and add a line below profilepath= ,
example: sdnetpath=C:\documents and settings\yourusername\my documents\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\sdnet\username\base
but i prefer the etqw-demos.ini delete method.

Changelog:

0.8:
----
- disable tray icon, not needed
- since some versions etqwpro does add ETQWPro in the demo filename, so i removed the window where you choose etqw or etqwpro. demoviewer now checks the
  given string and if ETQWPro is in filename, it starts etqw with etqwpro automatically so you don?t must press a button anymore.
  

0.7.1:
------
- fixed setting and use of fs_userpath; if you set your profile folder with fs_userpath cvar to a different location then my documents folder,
  the demo doesnt start and a new profile is created in the standard fs_userpath (in my documents folder).
- added some ressource data, fileversion, filecomment...

0.7:
----
- If etqw crashed, and you restart etqw with our demoviewer, then you have no backup of bindings.cfg and democontrols keys are IN your regular config.
  Now a Folder config_backups is created in profile\base or profile\etqwpro and the same in sdnet\base or sdnet\etqwpro. Backups are written to this
  folder now with date-time-filename, in example: 060408-231510-bindings.cfg . If ETQW crashed, you can easily go back now to your old config. The
  last backup is rewritten to etqwbinds.cfg or bindings.cfg if you quit etqw.

0.6:
----
- added etqwpro support. Doubleclick a demo, a small gui appears with two buttons, ETQW and ETQWPRO. If you click on ETQW, standard ETQW starts.
  If you click ETQWPRO, ETQW starts with fs_game etqwpro. ETQW cannot watch ETQWPRO Demos. You must set your SDNET Path correctly, read the lines above
  "UPGRADERS TO 0.6 PLEASE READ!" When you quit ETQW, gui disappears.

0.5:
----
- added native 64bit executable to avoid problems on a x64 Operating System

0.4:
----
- after you quit etwq the generated demowatcher.ndm is deleted
- added demo.cfg for demo controls; please leave this in program folder. 
  When you doubleclick a demo , etqwbinds.cfg and sdnet\username\bindings.cfg is backupped , then demo.cfg is copied to profile 
  directory and then executed. After you quit etqw, your backupped etqwbinds.cfg and
  sdnet\username\bindings.cfg is copied back to etqwbinds.cfg and sdnet\username\bindings.cfg

0.3:
----
- Code cleanup
- The Paths to your ETQW installation and to your ETQW profile can now defined with mouse and windows filedialog

0.2:
----
- Improved reading the Path to the doubleclicked demo
