A few ideas for improvement of the program.
1) Remember the WAD, Level, Game Mode, Category and Demo view; so that next time you run the program, you see the same demo.
2) Fixed-point font (like Courier, FixedSys or Terminal) for the text window, so that the text is formatted correctly.
3) Support for FDGM and FDNM demopaks. They are included in the database, but don't follow the standard filename conventions. They have the following filenames:
PLxx-GM
PLxx-NM
TNTxx-GM
EVxx-NM
4) Display of the demo file Last Modified date. Perhaps this could be incorporated into the TXT window or into the Info tab? E.g.
code:
| Info (8-1-1998) |
-------------------
| Text window
Would be handy for creating a timeline of demos on a particular level.
5) "Demo analyse" should be "Demo analysis"
6) Support for other demo analysis tools, like LMPutil would be nice
Lastly, the demo analysis works as expected on Win2000, but doesn't under Win98. I see that the program creates a /temp subdirectory under its own directory, where it copies extracted demo, TXT and LMPC.exe.
I have the following settings:
- CDB.exe in C:\DOOM\PORTS
- prBoom+ in C:\DOOM\PORTS\e6y
- LMPC in C:\DOOM\TEQ
For some reason, when I go to the demo analysis tab, I get this error:
code:
Cannot find the file C:\DOOM\PORTS\temp\lmpc.exe
Make sure that the file exists on your system and the path and filename are correct.
I go to the settings, the LMPC box has C:\DOOM\TEQ\LMPC.EXE in it, just like I set it up.
If I change the LMPC settings to C:\DOOM\PORTS\temp\lmpc.exe, then the error goes away, but the demo analysis tab reads LMPC not installed.
Edit:
7) Selecting TNT NM Speed shows no entries for any level.
