heh, the next version will have slidw-out panels to show more options if needed. that way i can add more stuff and keep it small by default

Enjay wrote:The thing that might not be working right is the instant action thingy. Whether it is checked or not is not remembered between sessions.

fixed

Enjay wrote:(it always appears at the original size and you have to drag it to full size).

thats cause i have to force the window to a certain size to hide options.
hmm, you shouldnt be able to drag it...

Enjay wrote:Also, I don't suppose the IWAD selected needs to be listed at the top as well as in the main panel - but I can't get the hacking tool to disable that.

that style of dropdown box is just another display variation of the same control. its completly different from the listbox that the pwads are in.

ill tell you what, i'll make ZDLEnjay for you when the next version comes around

Normally I wouldn't be able to, but the hacking tool allows me to change the border type to draggable.

Well, that would be cool.

I'm sure I can't be the only one who'd like these options though - can I?

V1.1

FEATURES:
-A slide out panel for multiplayer games
-Enjay Edition: the IWAD menu is not a dropdown anymore. but done without hacking. it is tested and confirmed working.
-German langfile by TDA added (not synched)

CHANGES:
-LangFile update: new entries for the langfile have been added. old files are still compatible though

PROBLEMS:
-options in the multiplayer panel arent saved on purpose. if someone really wants them to be saved, let me know
-Old langfiles mess up the text for the multiplayer heading. update your langfiles

TODO: (comments please)
-Memory usage optimization - DONE
-Process Optimizations WORKING
-Right Slide-Out panel for saved configurations
-Double-Clicking the clear button clears all feilds
-Commented source

- WORKING
-A conf file option to make ZDL close on launch
-A conf file option to make ZDL always confirm on launches (like debug mode)
-ReadMe file
-Build EnjayMode into the main program somehow

Questions? Comments? tell me!

should i make another thread for this so it will get noticed more? i mean, only 10 downloads across all versions is kinda low...

Updated my Greman file (Again probabally far from accurate: Leo keeps showing tons of results for every search)

Um, how about a changelog bio?

What harm would it do?

Cool new version (and one named after me, thanks

) - on a quick-ish tesh, everything seems to be working as it should.

The button for the slide out panel is kind of covered by the edge of the window (in both versions). This maybe intentional to indicate there is something to reveal, but I don't think it looks too good. I think the button should be fully in view and (if possible) instead of using a V for a down arrow (which is what I assume you did) perhaps you could have a graphic of a down arrow that changes to an up arrow when the panel is open.

As for posting in a new thread - yes, do it. This thread is in networking - the least posted in (and presumably visited) forum. The title of the thread doesn't really give any clues that this gem can be found here either. I suggest posing in "general" or "editing" and with a meaningful thread title to drum up a bit more enthusiasm.

[edit]Heh, OK, I see you've done that already.[/edit]

its visible on both of my test machines (XP and 98SE) hmm, could you post a screenshot?

anyone know how to do that? im using this but it doesnt work (it compiles fine though)

Code: Select all

SendMessage(ZDLCtl[CTL_MORE],BM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_ICON,(LPARAM)LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(ICO_ARROWS)));

Bio: Why's Barista support dropped for 1.1?

Post by **Bio Hazard** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 1:52 pm

fixed...

here is that code i mentioned in the other thread:
it controls the sliding panels.
WinSizeX and WinSizeY are the current sizees of the mindow, they are updated every time the window changes size

Code: Select all

void ZDL_More(HWND Dlg,int panel){
	int i=0;
	if(panel==0){
		if(WinSizeY>WIN_HEIGHT){
			for(i=WinSizeY;i>WIN_HEIGHT;i--){
				if(WinSizeX>WIN_WIDTH){
					SetWindowPos(Dlg,0,0,0,WIN_BIGWIDTH,i,SWP_NOMOVE);
				}else{
					SetWindowPos(Dlg,0,0,0,WIN_WIDTH,i,SWP_NOMOVE);
				}
				_sleep(1);
			}
			SendMessage(ZDLCtl[CTL_MORE],BM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_ICON,(LPARAM)LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(ICO_DARROW)));
		}else{
			for(i=WIN_HEIGHT;i<=WIN_BIGHEIGHT;i++){
				if(WinSizeX>WIN_WIDTH){
					SetWindowPos(Dlg,0,0,0,WIN_BIGWIDTH,i,SWP_NOMOVE);
				}else{
					SetWindowPos(Dlg,0,0,0,WIN_WIDTH,i,SWP_NOMOVE);
				}
				_sleep(1);
			}
			SendMessage(ZDLCtl[CTL_MORE],BM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_ICON,(LPARAM)LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(ICO_UARROW)));
		}
	}else{
		if(WinSizeX>WIN_WIDTH){
			for(i=WinSizeX;i>WIN_WIDTH;i--){
				if(WinSizeY>WIN_HEIGHT){
					SetWindowPos(Dlg,0,0,0,i,WIN_BIGHEIGHT,SWP_NOMOVE);
				}else{
					SetWindowPos(Dlg,0,0,0,i,WIN_HEIGHT,SWP_NOMOVE);
				}
				_sleep(1);
			}
			SendMessage(ZDLCtl[CTL_MORE2],BM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_ICON,(LPARAM)LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(ICO_RARROW)));
		}else{
			for(i=WIN_WIDTH;i<=WIN_BIGWIDTH;i++){
				if(WinSizeY>WIN_HEIGHT){
					SetWindowPos(Dlg,0,0,0,i,WIN_BIGHEIGHT,SWP_NOMOVE);
				}else{
					SetWindowPos(Dlg,0,0,0,i,WIN_HEIGHT,SWP_NOMOVE);
				}
				_sleep(1);
			}
			SendMessage(ZDLCtl[CTL_MORE2],BM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_ICON,(LPARAM)LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(ICO_LARROW)));
		}
	}
}

Sure thing. Here's a copy of the two versions running side by side. Same problem in each one.

[edit]Hmmm, I'm guessing it may be something to do with me using XP fancy curvy windows ATM. Going back to "classic" means I can see all of the button. However, it still sits lower than the other ones. Not sure if that is intentional or not.

[/edit]

[edit2]OK, even with classic style, if you increase the height of the title bar on your windows (which people using a big font probably will have done) it can also force the buttons below the end of the window. I assume this is because you are forcing the window to a certain size, so when the title bar gets bigger, it is still shown, but the bottom of the window simply drops off the the end of the visible area.

[/edit2]

Enjays packed with IWADs

Made a norwegian language file...
Only thing is: The "instant action" button can't cope with a text that's longer than "instant action"...

Looking good, BioHazard.

You are getting a lot of feedback and even some language packs. And you were ready to give it up when I released mine

One minor thing I noticed is with the ZDL.conf file. I think you should have something in there saying don't put a space after the > and that you need a trailing \ on the end of directories.

well, it was really kind of an experiment. i was really wanting to get on with another project.

fixed

*Viper* wrote:you need a trailing \ on the end of directories.

i already added a feature that will automatically append a \ if one isint there for the next version

doesn't anyone have anything to say about my TODO list? nobody objects to any of it? nobody has any ideas?

1.2 should come out tonight if i work quickly and dont have any problems.
