<>Having maps marked as played is one of my wishes too.</>

I need a market replayed map since I've already play and replayed all :) 

hm, just noticed something today... settings are being remembered and it starts up like a fresh install each time.

as for the folder settings, i haven't got a clue. i had both security tabs opened at the same time and compared settings and they were identical. 

check if there's a config.properties file in the directory where you extracted the .jar s to.

if there isn't or it still refuses to work, try this:
1) open a cmd.exe prompt in the injector dir (or navigate there)
2) run 'java -jar quakeinjector.jar'
3) post the output here (right at the beginning it should report reading the config file)

works fine here on the win 7 laptop.

also of note, when i click 'Apply' in the engine config dialog box, the console outputs:

(again spaces added) 

I strongly suspect the directory is read-only?

Try this:

http://www.haukerehfeld.de/projects/quakeinjector/files/quakeinjector-alpha02-1-g8500c44.zip

Fixed the error message output so it will display the exception message.

downloadpath null, returning default 

 

i dunno, there's something with w7 where every single folder has the 'marked square' (not the checkmark) in read only.

i checked on the internet and it is said that that's just some security setting on the folder itself and windows doesn't actually enforce read only on folders, only files. 

this may be more of a quaddicted gripe rather than specifically QI, but when will the archive get updated with the flurry of new releases recently strewn upon us? do i HAVE to go back to manually installing? really?? ;0 

It is a half database, half plain xml mess at the moment so updating is a pain. 

and ran into the same problem as necros has encountered. System is XP sp3.

I unchecked the "read-only" box under the right mouse menu of the folder, and when it asked me whether unread-only the folder and every thing inside it, or simply the folder itself alone, I chose the latter. Still not working.

So I launched cmd.exe, and "attrib -r"ed the folder. This time it worked!

So this may be something worth knowing. 

mmm, didn't work for me. :(

the concept of this tool is brilliant, really. in a way, it's probably a good thing this doesn't work. i'd probably end up playing way too much quake if it did. ^_^; 

It works fine for me on windows 7. Quake is in c:/games 

Well, may be not a bug, but still something to be improved on:
I use darkplaces as the default engine.
I used Injector to download Warpspasm. It automatically downloaded Quoth, on which Warp depends. Everything was fine. But when I launched Warp (with DP as it's the default engine), I noticed that there was some model missing. A checking in console confirmed this. Using "path" command, I found Quoth was not loaded.

I know what was happening, but think Injector can be improved so that it can intelligently add -Quoth or any other parameter to the command line when launching the default engine, or auto switch to a preferred engine when playing some particular mod or map and the default engine is not fit for it. 

Have the option to load installed maps or updatedb. Sometimes you just want to play a local map. 

dooomer: Do you have a good suggestion on how to do that in a cross-platform and future safe way? Because that is the problem. Maybe ask LordHavoc to add -quoth. After all Darkplaces already supports a lot of such switches.

jtarin: I do not understand what you mean. 

that have already been installed, by manual means before the coming of Injector.

As to my so-called bug report, I tried glwarp and fitzquake085, and both worked fine. So it seems that �� should have done more research. Thanks for this wonderful tool! 

That is already supported. 

though :D 

i know you can click the small, unnamed sorting button (to the left of 'Name') to sort installed maps first, but it would be nice if there was an option to always sort installed maps first, irregardless of sorting.

that is to say:

i click 'name' and it sorts alphabetically, but installed maps are first from a to z, then uninstalled maps, a to z.
i click rating and i get installed maps, 5 to 1 star, THEN uninstalled maps 5 to 1 star.

i'm imagining a config check box "always list installed maps first".

or even, two completely separate lists on two seperate tabs. and when you install, it disappears from the uninstalled list. 

I find myself always sorting by installed, too. 

The option in the menu is much more likely though, because on a small display space is so limited ;-)

because on a small display space is so limited

the tab idea wouldn't take much more room though? just maybe 1 or 2 line's worth of space at the top.

tabs, not lists right, so when you click one tab, the other is replaced by it. basically two lists in the same spot. unless i'm not understanding why it would take so much space. 

and while i'm wishing for stuff, a way to sort by installed date would be nice too. once your list of installed maps grows large, if you install more than one map at once that aren't the same spot in your alphabetical list, you can loose them.
