Have fun!
I've done smth like that in easier for myself too!it doesnt play .ogg files...
But first you dont need a batch and no executable!
Its one single menu that has to be copied...
I think that this is not necessary at all!
Second, don't call it "MP3 player" when it is no mp3player! It is just an ogg player!
The quality of the ingame oggplayer is not nearly as good as others (vlcplayer) in terms of quality and reproducing the sound correctly!
I would still use a external player instead of the ingame player just how richard said! The feature is nice to have, but not really good in comparison!
Cool idea, putting your name after every song, bad idea. (DPMusicOk ill remove "by html" in v1.2. Ill release it tomorrow (propably).by html)
music player is fine, but please not an 'im listening to this' script. there was enough of those on msn and irc back in the day, and i couldn't care less what anyone listens to, like i wouldn't expect them to care what i'm listening to.I honestly couldn't agree more!
Yeah, but who uses .ogg for music and can you get the track title with it?quote: Ogg Vorbis uses "Xiph Comments" (same as later versions of FLAC and Speex), which are embedded into the Ogg container. You can find information on these in the comment and container specs on www.xiph.org (from http://id3.org/Introduction)
I mean the CPU/RAM usage not the disk space Smiley Talk to py2exe developers WinkI think in terms of CPU/RAM usage, running an interpreted language is certainly not the best way. The ingame music player which is compiled and does not need an additional application should have a lot less load.
Thank you for the source and the upcoming non-installer version :).+1

Its the same amount of steps with the difference that nothing is installed and you dont need to run an additionial executable all the time.
Why do you force the hudscale to 1.6? Forcing it is bad enough, but using non-integer values causes it to look really bad (it has to blur the texture, and sometimes causes some really ugly artifacts). Anybody who tries this is going to have their settings stuck like that.Yeah, it's bad, i've resized the menu to make it useful on 600x800 in 2.0.
Renaming the executable is kind of an annoyance for me. The cheat detection picks up on that (since some cheats require the executable to be a certain filename since they were designed for other games), so it generates a bunch of false positives I have to ignore.I'm sorry :/
Why is the executable so large? The game is only like 600k, and that exe is 4 megs... not that it's a huge deal. Just weird.It's a py2exe compiled python script - i was wondering if I should rewrite it to Java or something else, but Python works well with MCI so i don't have to fight with the copyright stuff.

Is that fixed now or will it still generate false positives in the cheat detection?It i'snt and propably won't be, i like this feature too much =d.
The executable's name is (and will be) paintball2_nodpmusic.exe, so its quite useless for hacks.
As i said, im sorry for annoying jitspoe, i'm sure he can hide the false positives.But its not his job. You should fix that.
But its not his job. You should fix that.I can't do it at the moment, it seems to be impossible without removing this feature.
Sorry to say man, but if only I was a talented programmer I would now start developing a hack that would use your .exe for the cheats, since Jitspoe isn't really paying attention to it. You should really look for a different solution.Running paintball2.exe from DPMusic is the best possible solution, even if running executables/bats from DP was possible [It won't be because it would be a major security hole].
The cheat detection picks up on that (since some cheats require the executable to be a certain filename since they were designed for other games)It doesn't make any new security hole.
How many people are going to use this anyways? Most people use YouTube or pandora anyways.V 1.3 had 298 downloads.
