« Hide Release Notes#0.4.1 Issues: FIXED [ 1/24/2006 ]
If you were having any issues with 0.4.1, the program has been hotfixed to solve 2 major issues in playback.
The first problem came from people using non-English versions of Windows XP. q4replay attempts to read your Quake4 registry entry to determine the path, but this feature will not work for the time being on non-English Windows XP builds. So you will have to select the directory yourself (/cry).
The second problem came for users who have Quake4 installed on a non-C drive (E:, F:, X:, etc). These users were getting a "dos flash" screen because the q4replay.bat file wasn't able to access the correct drive properly.
Both these issues have been hotfixed, so just redownload q4replay (don't forget to uninstall any previous installs of q4replay before installing). Thanks to the many bug submitters (russian, wrz, valzstyler, jenny, etc) for helping me out.
#Version 0.4.1 Released [ 1/23/2006 ]
After many ideas, work, bugs, fixes, I am finally proud to present a version of q4replay that stands out from the rest!
Changes Include:
q4replay now automatically detects your Quake4 directory, no more locating it yourself.
Added a feature to allow users to double click on
.NETDEMO files and q4replay will automatically load the
.NETDEMO (works with
.NETDEMOS in .ZIP/.RAR files)
Added a feature (PK4 Check) to allow users to check if they have the necessary files to view a demo and lists the files.
Added a feature (.cfg Extract 'Thanks to Stas "Unreal" Starkov stas_@mail.rb.ru) which allows users to view all the players/server configurations from a netdemo.
Added a custom mod input to the 'Mod Selection'. Users can now load demos in a mod of their choice.
Added a feature so if a user loads a q4max/battle
.NETDEMO q4replay will automatically recognize it and select the proper mod automatically.
Added a program installer (NSIS) so you don't have to unzip q4replay or create shortcuts. The installer makes life easier.
Updated the User Interface to be a little more roomy and fixed some display bugs.
Fixed a bug where a user didn't have "Your-Quake4-install/q4base/demos" directory, thus preventing demo views.
Get it NOW!
NOTE: If you had any problems with q4replay 0.4.1, just re-download the file, it has been hotfixed!
#Version 0.3 Released [ 01/14/2006 ]
q4replay is now being developed with the Python programming language! That is right folks, no more dealing with the
.NET framework, as this release includes EVERYTHING you need to get this application running in a single zip file. Python is NOT required to be installed to use the new version.
Changes Include:
Switched over to the Python platform for the project. Allows freedom (free as in beer) from the
.NET framework which seemed to plague many users.
User Interface updated.
Added a status bar to let the user know what is going on instead of pop-up messageboxs.
Removed the "Locate Q4 directory" dialog for first time use.
Added Playback controls option to the settings, which allows users to Pause, Resume, Slow Down, and Speed up demos while viewing them. (See Playback Controls section for more details)
Cleaned up alot of code to make the program more efficient.
Get the NEW VERSION while its hot.
Note: The new version is larger in size because it contains all the necessary libraries to run q4replay.

Save it to your q4 directory, and rename it to something like demo.bat. Make sure you change the txt extension to bat. Anywho, select a demo and place it in the correct dir it needs to go in...such as q4max\demos. Right click on the demo, go to properties--->change--> and select the demo.bat file. Then you can just double click on demos to play them.
Anyway to fix this?
