=-=-=- QUAKE Launcher v0.9B created by Bas Hooijbergh -=-=-=-
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=----=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-==-=
Well.... here it is... my version of QLaunch (DOS only).
I created this program because I really wanted to have such a program but
I just couldn't get it... I've seen one on internet but could not ftp it.
So I decided to create my own... and here it is!
Features : Qlaunch handles upto 2500 Quake C mods.
Qlaunch has a nice description ability.
Qlaunch searches dirs for PROGS.DAT and PAK0.PAK files.
Qlaunch saves some settings. (nocdaudio, nojoystick and safe mode).
Qlaunch is small. (about 13 kb).
Qlaunch is fast. (well... I think so).
To create descriptions go to the Quake C mod subdir and create a file called
PROGS.ID or even better rename the textfile that comes with almost every
Quake C mod and edit that one instead. Just remember that the lines cannot
exceed 60 characters and cannot be more than 18 lines long.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
[][] DON'T compress Qlaunch (like pklite), it WILL SCREW things up. [][][]
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Future improvements: Create support for the PAGE_UP, PAGE_DOWN, HOME and END
keys...
Edit descriptions within Qlaunch or call an external
editor to do the job.
Sorting of the directories.
Type the first few characters of a Quake C mod and
Qlaunch will automaticly bring you there.
Updates:
V0.9B
! First NET release.
* Qlaunch didn't pass a command line to quake.exe... fixed!
+ Wanted support for more Quake C dirs? 2500 enough? you got it.
V0.9A
+ Added support for upto 1000! Quake C mods.
* fixed: when you got to the end of the menu and then back up the menu
would scroll 1 choice to far down, thus creating an empty field.
Fixed now.
- Description format checking is working.
if a textline exceeds 60 chars it will be indicated by 2 green stars, only
the first 60 characters of that line will be shown.
* Had a look at this txt file and deleted some spelling mistakes. (not all ;)
V0.99
# first public release.
+ config (nocdaudio, nojoystick etc.) will be saved to the qlaunch.exe.
+ description format will now be checked.
* menu color changed.
* better menu handling.
V0.98
# never released
* fixed the menu scrolling up and down.
* changed something.
* fixed some of the major bugs I was speeking of.
V0.93
# private release. (delete it if you have it, it contains some MAJOR bugs).
+ added the options of nocdaudio, nojoystick and safe_mode
+ added the # of mods thinghy.
* ? can't really remember what else I've done..
fixed some bugs or something, and added some new things.
V0.92
+ made the whole beta thing.... first version, never released.
Qlaunch was created using Borland Pascal V7.0 running on a Pentium 166.
Thanks to: ID Software for creating QUAKE.
All Quake C programmers.. keep 'm coming.
Btw: ESC exits the menu at any time without launching Quake.
