A tale of two crashes

[PlzDieKthx]

oh, and i guess inflation will make it impossible to buy a week's worth of groceries for a quarter now, huh?

fuckin whippersnappers :(

I love this one! Sometimes, I feel too lazy to report crashes... this would be cool (anyways, I'm pretty sure the ones I forgot to report were duplicates )

Agent ME: That's exactly the clarification that I needed.

Hi Randy, I like the new design for report a ZDoom crash Enabling the Imp Sex icon to show randomly would be quite a nice addition to the revised dialog box.

Had this been in 2.0.94 and while playing the excellent Community Chest 2 wad, you would have had plenty of crash data to sift through.

Thanks for the laugh TheDarkArchon.

you know, while you are making all these dialog changes, why not make the iwad select dialog look like this?



i was going to make a launcher out of it, but nobody would help me figure out Win32 C++

I think that the MS report is a MS spy program to look at potential competitors. Look, Steam has its own built in Error reporter (as much as I hate Steam, I have to give it some credit), yet the MS one kicks in! Even for Skulltag and ZDoom! I hate MS so much sometimes! If they buy and ruin the Half-Life series, I will never touch a Microsoft product again!

You can turn the default MS one off...

Looks simple enough.... Go for it! Learning Win32 C++ ain't that hard....

[Chris]

There's a difference between C++ and Win32 C++. I can do some C++, but I couldn't for the life of me make a Win32 dialog.

[GeeDougg]

That's actually what I meant. Sorry I skipped on the Win32 part.... When we were learning C/C++ in comp.sci there was only Win32 C++.... Everything else was considered evil and possessed or something....

Just an idea but is it feasible to generate a unique hash when a crash happens?

A user could be given the option of connecting to the bug tracker and a transparent-to-the-user check could take place that would determine whether this bug has already been logged. If it has then it simply increments a counter or if not then asks the user if they want to submit the new bug report.

BTW Randy, nice idea this custom bug report thingy.

IWAD Startup box

Hmmm, the problem with that is ATM I can double click on any IWAD in the list and the game starts. With your suggestion I'd have to pick the one I want from a drop-down menu, then click launch.

BTW, I've been using a modified IWAD launcher for a while with a hacked version of 2.0.63a It has no additional functionality and I really only did it to try out a resource hacking tool which can modify the dialogues compiled into exe's but I kinda like the way it turned out.

[Bio Hazard]

you actually switch IWADS enough to warrant a full-size selection box?
geez enjay... you're hard-core!

[Skunk]

I don't.
I have all of those games except Hexendd.wad (WTF IS THAT?) and I never play them
Heretic sits dormant as fuck and Hexen I tried to beat but gave up.

[Mannequin]

I like the latest, but I have a suggestion about the "click here" link for seeing the error reports. Turn the link in to a button on the bottom along with the others. That way it's more visible, and doesn't seem like there's something to hide.



Good job!
