Something weird : e4cn0857 desynchs when using your program. With the same glboomplus but without your program, the demo works.

My application always uses -complevel 2, in most of the cases it works pretty well, but seems this demo doesn't. The solution is -auto command.

BTW, what is the -auto command for? When I tick this box, it launchs e4cn0857 with doom2.wad...

Well, all the demos for episodes 1-4 (whether movies or single level runs) were recorded with the executable included with The Ultimate DOOM ("Doom v1.9u") and thus use compatibility level 3, so it would make sense for the program to always use 3 when "Ultimate Doom" is chosen at the top.

The only demos that are unreliable are Final DOOM demos, as some were recorded with the included executable ("Doom v1.9f") and some with DOOM II's (Doom v1.9 proper). The former using compatibility level 4, and the latter 2.

A suggestion, you should also support hrmus, mmmus, mm2mus... That would be nice :)

Some news: I started rewriting this whole mess... The new major version will be much more professional, considering 1.x was just really a RAD without any design.

Here's a screenshot, which shows how I imagine the new interface.

http://www.flamich.com/tamas/Pages/DownloadFile.aspx?file=ddb2.PNG

The whole browsing structure will be configurable from an XML file. This is the main part (I think it is quite self-evident ):

code:
<wad name="Doom II">
<playbackModes default="1">
   <playbackMode id="1" name="Prboom" playerId="1" commandline="-iwad DOOM2 -complevel 2"/>
</playbackModes>
<maps sequenceType="continuous">
  <map episode="0" level="1" name="Entryway"/>
  .... etc
</maps>
<demos>
  <demoGroup name="Normal demos">
     <demoCategory name="UV Speed" rootId="0" path="doom2\speed" filter="lv{0}{1}.\d\d\d\.zip"/>
     <demoCategory name="UV Max" rootId="0" path="doom2\max" filter="lv{0}{1}.\d\d\d\.zip"/>
     <demoCategory name="NM Speed" rootId="0" path="doom2\nmare" filter="nm{0}{1}.\d\d\d\.zip"/>
     <demoCategory name="NS 100" rootId="0" path="doom2\nm100s" filter="ns{0}{1}.\d\d\d\.zip"/>
     <demoCategory name="Pacifist" rootId="0" path="doom2\pacifist" filter="pa{0}{1}.\d\d\d\.zip"/>
     <demoCategory name="Fast" rootId="0" path="doom2\fast" filter="fa{0}{1}.\d\d\d\.zip"/>
     <demoCategory name="Respawn" rootId="0" path="doom2\respawn" filter="re{0}{1}.\d\d\d\.zip"/>
     <demoCategory name="Tyson" rootId="0" path="doom2\tyson" filter="ty{0}{1}.\d\d\d\.zip"/>
     </demoGroup>
  <demoGroup name="Movies">
     <demoGroup name="01-10 movies">
        <demoCategory name="UV Speed / Max" rootId="0" path="doom2\speed" filter="lv{0}{1}.\d\d\d\.zip"/>
      ...etc
   </demoGroup>
   ...etc

    <demoGroup name="Coop">
      ..etc
    </demoGroup>
  </demos>
</wad>

Note: demoCategory.filter is a regular expression

demoCategory.rootId and playbackMode.playerId derives from this part:

code:
<demoPlayers>
   <demoPlayer id="1" name="Prboom path"/>
</demoPlayers>
<demoDirectoryRoots>
   <demoDirectoryRoot id="1" name="Compet-n database directory" />
</demoDirectoryRoots>

It makes possible to customize your own browser and share it, what makes the development of a public structure faster and easier. This would be the main feature of this new version.

If you have any palatial idea please tell me, because it is much easier to implement in the start of the development.

Copy also here:
[UPDATED] 2008.11.04 --> v2.0b1

Dare to share a beta version of this new shit :)
http://www.flamich.com/tamas/Pages/...r_2.0b1.0.0.zip

As the previous version, it needs Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en

Main new features:

(1) User can customize the database schema

As I have done the schema of Doom and Doom2 only yet, it would be very kind for me if you would try to implement any other wad :). If you would did it and did not understand the XML format, you should ask me about it, I will explain you, however I think it is quite clear.

(2) Demo analysis, LMPC is no longer needed

Yea, yea, I got myself into the source of LMPC, and implemented my own OO version, so the analysis became much faster and more stable. The GUI is not fully implemented yet, but once it will be surely done. ;)

(3) Pack extraction, WinRAR is no longer needed

Found a free GPL source code, what has also sped up the browsing :).

(4) Playback modes

You can register any number of doom port for playback, which has been registered in the database schema. This would make the playback of the demos which can be played only with vanilla ports much more comfortable.

(5) More dymamic GUI

You are able to resize almost everything :).

I wonder if it runs properly on other computers, that's the main reason I release it now. So I would be grateful if you tried it and wrote here your experiences.
