Title: oadmflags
Post by: dbX on September 10, 2012, 07:23:29 AM
I've posted version 1.1 of the oadmflags tool on my OA project page (http://dbx.orgfree.com/projects/quake.html). For now it's win32 only (should work on x64 too), until I get my Linux system up and make a build environment (or you can build it yourself since the source is included). It's a simple tool to construct a value for the dmflags (DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Special_game_options]special game options (http://([b)). You can select checkboxes, and it'll automatically build a value in various representations. You can even enter a value and it'll select the appropriate checkboxes according to the value. It does not automatically set the value into your config, I may do this in the future. Perhaps it would be better to put all the tools (oanc, oadmflags, and whatever may follow) into one tool, with one code base.

Also, I've attached the tool here for convenience.

Would it be possible to implement those tools using a good old website with some JavaScript?

Version 1.0 maybe?  :D
Anyway, nice work, man!  :)

Yes, the name changer was already done as a web page (there is a topic on the forums somewhere), and dmflags should be possible to do too. Of course, any changes to the config files would have to be done manually. Not that oadmflags does anything with the config currently.

Yeah, version 1.0. Got that mixed up with some other tool :D Thanks.

DBX, what about changing "no invisibility skin" to "total invisibility" as the name of dmflags 256 in the tool?
IIRC, "no invisibility skin" is the definition Sago provided in the code when implemented it, but that name seems quite misleading, IMHO. What do you think, guys?

(DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Dmflags

PS: in the tool, the "Decimal" value may be referred as the "dmflags" variable in some way.

Yeah, makes sense. I'll add also tooltips that describe these better.

Well, it's really about a representation of a value. Of course, the value of the dmflags variable is set as a decimal number in the console and config. I could add this in brackets like "decimal (dmflags)".

Sounds good. :)

Could you also add a screenshot of the application on the homepage you've mentioned?
The one for "OpenArena Name Changer" looks like it's from a Linux system, so maybe that's already on your todo-list :)

Sure, I'll add a screenshot. In hindsight I should have done that immediately.
