1up demo loader now available.

[Tesla[1up]]

If you review alot of demos then you know how much of a pain it can be to use the standard Urban Terror client by itself which is why the demo loader application was created to help make this task as simple as possible. For more details and a download link, just visit our projects page located here. (demo loader is located at the bottom of the page) We hope you will find it useful and as always feedback is welcome.

Thanks,

How does this actually work? I have no Windows machines so I can't try it. Does it give you a list of demos in your folder to click on to play or something? I read on the projects page about using it as the default program for .dm_68, that's a damn nice feature!

[Tesla[1up]]

No list, you just double click on the demo you want to play and Urban Terror will load automatically and start playing the demo. If you do it from the browser it will do the same thing you just have to associate the file with the program. On my system this was already done I just had to tell firefox to remember the setting. From then on just clicking on the demo link will be enough to get it to play for you, nothing else needed.

To answer your question, no this isn't for Linux/Mac machines. It is a simple native Windows application that lets you click on a demo on the forums, and downloads it, launches UrT, and plays it, all automagically. The main audience is our referees who watch 100's of demos a week. It saves times, it saves patience, etc. The way it works is basically this.

1. Referee clicks on a "Demo for Review" on the forums.
2. Browser asks him/her if they want to Save/Open the file.
3. Referee clicks Open, and their job is done.
4. Tesla's magic takes care of the rest, UrT launches, demo plays, no further steps by Referee.

Tesla,

Outstanding work as usual! I believe this is a very useful contribution both to our refs and the community.

Thank you!

HOKAY! HACKY BASH SCRIPT TIEM!
I've slapped together a bash script for this, but for some reason I can't attach it to this post, so I'll dump it here.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
### KD197's Quick UrT Demo Loader ###
### Yeah I know it sucks! But it  ###
### works doesn't it?!            ###
### Requires sed and tr           ###
OS=$(uname -s)
URT() {
        if [[ $OS == "Linux" ]]; then
                ### Uncomment out the following line if you use cpufrequtils	###
		### and wish to set your cpu mode to "performance".		###
		#sudo cpufreq-set -r -g performance

		### Start UrT in a second X session				###
                DISPLAY=:1.0
                xinit /usr/bin/urbanterror $* -- :1
        else
                ### Run Urban Terror on a Mac ###
                /Applications/UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTerror.app/Contents/MacOS/ioUrbanTerror.ub $*
        fi
}
### GETOPTS ###
while getopts ":w:h" OPTION
	do
	case $OPTION in
	w) FLAG="w" INFILE=$OPTARG;;
	h) FLAG="h";;
	esac
done
### Set paths ###
### Change the ".urbanterror/q3ut4/demos/" part to whatever your path is ###
DIR="$HOME/.urbanterror/q3ut4/demos/"
COM='+set com_cameramode 1 +demo'
WCOM='+set com_cameramode 1 +set r_shownormals 1 +demo'
### Move demos to the demos folder and play with selected options ###
if [[ $FLAG == "h" ]]; then
	echo "Options: -h to show this help"
	echo "         -w /path/to/demo.dm_68 to start with r_shownormals 1"
	echo ""
	echo "By default, demos are run with com_cameramode 1 so that the"
	echo "keyboard may be used, for timescale binds etc; files are moved"
	echo "to the demos folder, and the filename is converted to UPPERCASE"
	echo "because the Linux version doesn't like the demos otherwise :P"
elif [[ $FLAG == "w" ]]; then
	FILE="$(echo $INFILE | sed 's/.*\/\(.*\.dm_68\)/\1/' | tr [:lower:] [:upper:] | sed 's/DM_68$/dm_68/')"
	mv $INFILE ${DIR}${FILE}
	URT $WCOM $FILE
else
	FILE="$(echo $1 | sed 's/.*\/\(.*\.dm_68\)/\1/' | tr [:lower:] [:upper:] | sed 's/DM_68$/dm_68/')"
	mv $1 ${DIR}${FILE}
	URT $COM $FILE
fi

Copy and paste that into a file (lets call it "urtdml" for sake of example) somewhere convenient and chmod +x it. Then pop open a terminal, and run it like "urtdml /path/to/demo.dm_68" and Bob's your uncle. I guess you could probably do some jazz to make dm_68's point at this scriptlet but that's up to you, I have no graphical filemanager to test it on. Besides, running it through a terminal is better because then you can add the "-w" switch to turn shownormals on
Default behaviour (as seen in "help" the -h option) is that it will move the file to your demos folder if it's not already there, and convert the file name to uppercase (for the Linux users out there) then start the demo rolling with com_cameramode 1, which means you can use any keybinds you might have for increasing/decreasing timescale.

It's not a patch on Tesla's fancy app but maybe this'll fill a hole for Linux and Mac users until someone writes an equivalent of Tesla's launcher.

OH MAN!!! at first i was reluclant to ask if that program was also available for linux and even tried to run the .exe with wine (and failing miserably lol) but now, KD, with your script, OOOH MAN! THANKS A LOT MAN! it helps me a lot specially since i had to rename each and every demo to numbers because i couldnt run it even if i used uppercase letters, again thanks a lot  !

also the options you put in it...so sexy
