Hi, I've created a simple id Tech 1 frontend launcher and would like to share it with everyone. Feedback is appreciated! Notes: ▪ Current version is 1.7 and should be still a stable bug free release but in case you do find one, please let me know. ▪ You can name your IWads as you please, to do so create a file "Names.map" or use the one available for download, in the root folder where the app is. You can use HashCheck Shell Extension (Open-Source) to calculate MD5 hashes, available here: http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/ the data format to be used is HASH=NAME. ▪ Playlists shows a custom icon if a .PNG file named after the Playlist exists where the Playlist file is located. I'll be on holidays for the next few weeks. Enjoy! Usage instructions: 1. Launch "Doomie.exe" 2. Create a Playlist wherever you want or select one available ("Open" or "Import" Playlists from somewhere else) *** Do make sure one Playlist is selected *** 3. Use the "..." buttons to select the SourcePort & IWad 4. (Optional if you don't need any PWads) Using "Open" (selects one file) or "Import" (imports all *.wad, *.deh, *.pk7, ... files from the any directory) buttons add any PWads you wish to the Playlist 5. Click "Play" button Note: Each playlist can be saved anywhere you wish and each can point to a different source port & IWad located anywhere you wish. Playlists, SourcePorts & Wads folders are part of the distribution zip file, but you don't have to use them, you can delete or ignore them, as a matter of fact the only needed files are: "Doomie.exe", "GongSolutions.Wpf.DragDrop.dll" and "Doomie.ico"; "Doomie.cfg" will be created if not exists when first run. Once you specify a Sourceport, IWad or PWad the app will remember the last used folder -- this is valid for each Open and Import button on the UI. Version log: Version 1.7 (03/09/2018) ▪ Implemented filter functionality over Playlists and PWads lists. ▪ UI clean-up. ▪ If "Playlist.png" file exists will be used as default Playlist icon where an icon for the Playlist name does not exist. ▪ "Names.map" file is no longer part of the main downloaded archive and is now a separate download file so it can be updated separately. Version 1.6 (02/09/2018) ▪ Icon added, thank you NightFright. ▪ "Names.map" updated as per NightFright's contributions. ▪ Playlists shows a custom icon if a .PNG file named after the Playlist exists where the Playlist file is located. ▪ Columns resize automatically according to biggest row length. ▪ Remembers window Splitter position. ▪ Remembers Window position on screen. ▪ Removed support for Playlists drag and drop. ▪ Allows reordering of Playlists. Version 1.5 (30/08/2018) One day ahead of schedule ▪ File "Names.map" if exists will be looked at to map IWads names. ▪ Added support to load PK7 files. ▪ Corrected an issue where un-maximizing the window would not use the previous window width. Version 1.4 (26/08/2018) ▪ Fixed a bug where "Save As" functionality if saving over an existing Playlist would crash. ▪ Fixed a bug where "Remove playlist(s)" was calling the save playlist functionality also for playlists other than the selected one(s). ▪ List of loaded Playlists persists through sessions. ▪ Reworked the "About" dialog a little bit. ▪ Added Playlist "Location" on to the "Save changes" dialog. ▪ Removed command line parameters functionality. ▪ Added identification for a few more stand-alone IWads. ▪ Doomie settings are now saved in "Doomie.cfg" file instead of "Settings.ini". ▪ Saves last "Import" and "Load" location used for Playlists, Sourceport, IWAD and WAD files separately in "Doomie.cfg" file. Version 1.3.1 (24/08/2018) ▪ Fixed a bug when using directories with spaces was not passing paths with spaces to the Sourceport correctly. ▪ A "Not found" message is displayed when the IWad or Sourceport used is missing. Version 1.3 (23/08/2018) ▪ Implemented support for arguments per Sourceport. ▪ Saves the window size in "Settings.ini" file (this file is saved where the application is located). (Changed to "Doomie.cfg" in later versions) Version 1.2 (19/08/2018) ▪ Added Sourceport parameter parsing ability at the command line. (Removed in later versions) ▪ Importing PWAD files already in Playlist keeps existing PWAD with it's flag settings. ▪ Prompts for saving Playlist changes on "Remove" or "Clear" if any. Version 1.1 (14/08/2018) ▪ Fixed a bug while importing PWAD files, if extension was different than lower-case would not import the files. ▪ Implemented support for Sourceport's "-merge" argument. ▪ Added support to load DEH and BEX files. ▪ Reworked the "About" dialog.

New version, grab it while it's hot! Thought there was a bug, but in fact I had uploaded the wrong version

Version 1.6 is up-for-grabs!

New release, just out-of-the-door!

New version uploaded, please refer to the release notes for changes.

Doomie should now work properly with paths with spaces, please let me know if doesn't.

Hi Dragonsbrethren, yes it seems there's a bug there which needs to be squashed, give me a few days to fix -- just uploaded v1.3 before seeing your comment :( extra parameters can be passed from command prompt and now also at UI level, see release notes.

Hi eharper256, no worries, please give it a try and see what you could achieve with it. You could create a playlist with: Path=$PROGDIR/Classicwads/MEGAWAD 1 HERE Path=$PROGDIR/Mods/ColourfulHell.pk3 Path=$PROGDIR/Mods/SpriteShadow v1.6.pk3 Path=$PROGDIR/Mods/simpleuiaddons.pk3 Path=$PROGDIR/Mods/Trailblazer_v1.4c.pk3 Path=$PROGDIR/Mods/Champions.pk3 Path=$PROGDIR/Mods/UniversalGibs.zip Path=$PROGDIR/Mods/OggMUSIC.wad if you want to use another megawad you could then have another playlist like so as an example: Path=$PROGDIR/Classicwads/MEGAWAD 2 HERE Path=$PROGDIR/Mods/Trailblazer_v1.4c.pk3 Path=$PROGDIR/Mods/Champions.pk3 Path=$PROGDIR/Mods/OggMUSIC.wad not sure thought if that will suit your needs. Then it's just a matter of selecting which playlist you want to launch using the Play button. An easy way to "clone" playlists is to have one created and then modify and Save As. Hope this helps.

Hi Average, glad you like the app. About no sound, you can turn off or down the computer sound volume as you wish, or at command prompt type doomie.exe -nosound if you choose to listen to your favorite mp3 selection this will pass that onto the source port if supported it will be applicable (-nomusic and -nosfx are pretty much standard among source ports). Hi eharper245, did you try the program? Not really sure about what are you asking I assume what you want is a playlist or multiple playlists with the patches you want, if you create a playlist and use the Import Pwad functionality it will import all supported file types you then just need to thene remove or untick the Load checkbox to deal with patches you don't want or need, add source port, Iwad & click Play, regarding the description you shouldn't need a description you should be able to identify the playlist by it's name.

Hi Aquila Chrysaetos, they are two different programs, please give it a try and see for yourself which one you prefer. Hi Sgt Nate V, I've uploaded a new version 1.1 Chocolate doom should now be supported, please let me know... Also note the playlist (dpf file) format changed so you'll need to create a new playlist...
