Readme for RTCW Demo Player WDP 1.05.
Changes from DSC light 1.29
- added: Support for Q3A 1.32 (dm_68 files). DSC supports dm3, dm_48, dm_66, dm_67 and dm_68 demos.
- added: switch to decide whether q3 should be terminated after demo playback automatically or not.
- bugfix: The loop command has looped a demo only two times.
- bugfix: A special graphics script (eg. Xtra cmdline: +exec graphics.cfg) has needed a vid_restart to be executed.
- changed: Pressing the slow motion key while playing a demo does not more disable status drawing. It will be disabled only for slower modes than slow motion.
- bugfix: When playing Q3 1.17 demos the q3config.cfg was screwed up somtimes.
- added: A more transparent (hopefully) Options/MODs dialog.
- added: OSP dm_48 demos will be played with CPMA on default. This is because CPMA automatically handles the 'broken' (invisible players) OSP demos correctly. Look also in the readme section "Problems with dm_48 OSP demos?" for installing an additional old OSP version for playing dm_48 OSP demos.
- added: The "Play as.." window has a new command line parameters edit control. You may change the q3a command line yourself for more control.
- bugfix: Options/MODs had an error. After changing a value in the "Play with" column, you had to click somewhere else in the listview to be able to save the change.
- changed: OSP dm3 demos will be played as baseq3 demos on default.
- Updated: The readme file. Please read it carefully, it may be helpfull for you!
- added: Compatibility with PR 1.30
- bug fix: shortcut to switch version to q3 1.29h was faulty
- bug fix: problem on some missionpack demos (error map not installed)
- added: option test whether map is installed (default off)
- changed: demos in [Some_MOD_DIR]\demos and subfolders are played on default as Some_MOD demos.
- changed: some GUI elements.
- bug fix: broken sound.
- bug fix: broken "play as.." from properties.
- added: all buttons have sound now (in case button sounds are enabled).
- bug fix: Play control keys could not be changed within the options menu.
- added: "Play as.." in context menu of demos. Select one from your installed mods before playing the demo.
- added: While any DSC light window is open, you may use any of the demo context menu entries. In earlier version you had to close DSC, before to be able to use commands from the context menu of demos.
- More flexible Mod Settings (see Options/Mod Settings). Now you may play your demos with any of your installed mods. Example: You have the newest OSP version for PR 1.29f installed. Your old 1.17 compatible OSP demos will not run with your new OSP version. In previous versions you had to configure an OSP version switch or to play old OSP demos as baseq3 demos. Now you may install an additional old OSP version (into [Your Q3A root Dir]\OSP_117 for example) which is compatible with PR 1.17 OSP demos. In Options/Mod Settings set your 1.17 OSP demos to OSP_117. In general now you may decide whether you want to install an additional old version of your favorite mods or whether you want to configure version switching for your mods. The first way is much easier in general, but it consumes additional hd space. For smaller mods like OSP this is the preferred way.
- fix: "options/mod settings/play always as" was showing the false value.
