Good Morning.
After lots of coding and tons of GUI dev / code I think its time to give the lib a little stress test.
I assembled a small program which will index all demos in the Application’s parent path!
Note: If you have lots of demos in the Folder, it can take quite some time to start the scanning, this is normal!
What is this tool and why should I use it?[ul][li]Because the API needs to be tested against as many demos / mods as possible.[]The API will be able to cut / write demos, or search for specific frags / messages / events / you name it… []It scans all demos in it’s parent directory and stores all gathered information in a SQL Database.[]The Database can then be used with the MediaManager, which is not released yet.[]Supported in this test release: ET, QL, Q3, RTCW.[/ul][/li]
How to use this Program?[ul][li]Copy the whole folder into a directory that contains ET / QL / Q3 / RTCW demos and run the Demo2DB.exe file. []You can always close the Program, however i suggest closing the Program while scanning, rather than inserting into the DB.[]There are 3 types of CPU Levels. If you have time and need CPU time, then use the Bite Me or Less CPU Intense Profiles. [/li]Those settings can be changed on the fly and are internal settings. They are not operating on the System level![li]Upload your LOG files, thats what i am looking for![/li][/ul]What to do when the Program has finished?[ul][li]Paste the whole log.txt (can be found in the database directory) to http://tech3.pastebin.com/ (make sure to check forever) [/li]OR [WIP] Tech3 Demo Stresstest Logs
[/ul]What to do when I experience an Error / Application Crash?[ul][li]Paste the whole log.txt (can be found in the database directory) and the Error message given by Windows to http://tech3.pastebin.com/ (make sure to check forever)[/li]OR [WIP] Tech3 Demo Stresstest Logs
[li]Upload the demo on which the API crashed or contact me in irc (quakenet: #ultraviolet) or mail (uvhannes@gmail.com)[/ul][/li]
