Seismovision 3 - Features

Features

42 Games, 79 Demo Types

AVA = Auto-Version Adaptation
Gives Seismovision the ability to down grade the game to play an older demo type. This is not always required by all games or demo types.

M-AVA = Manual-AVA
Gives you the ability to manually down grade a game version so you can join older servers or manually view old demos. If AVA is not supported, automatically M-AVA is also not supported. This function is rare.

Demo Playing
- There are many ways to play a demo using Seismovision
- Double-Clicking
  - You can play a demo from almost any resource, such as over a network or a compressed archive. Seismovision copies the demo to the game installation, so even when the network connection is interrupted or the demo is moved, you can still continue viewing your demo.
- Right-Clicking and selecting 'Play Demo'
- Adding it to a play list
File Associations
- Demo extensions are automatically registered during installation to the games you have selected.
- Right-click on a demo to gain more features not available through the standard interface such as demo compression (Quake 4). You can also launch Seismovision from the right-click menu or add the demo to a play list.
- The Right-Click menu also give you the ability to change the mod or config on the fly
Special demo specific support
- Support for playing demos on a minimum-install of Quake 3 Arena (requires CD)
- Demo compression for Quake 4 demos
- Demo conversion for Quake 3 Arena demos
- Automatic and smart mod detection for Quake 4 net demos.
- Demo scanner for Quake 4 to query list of files required for demo play back.
- .IWD Check function for Call of Duty 2.
Configuration
- Each and every demo type can be individually configured to suit your needs.
  - Every demo type can point to a different installation but can also all point to one to suit your needs
  - Use its own configuration file for visual display or demo controls. Useful for viewing old demos with old school graphics
    - Many games come with a set of predefined configs with visual display options such as Low Detail and High Detail.
    - Most games also have a special 'movie' config for creating game videos. Read in the documentation for more information.
  - Select a different mod for every demo type
  - Use additional command line parameters
- All these settings can be exported and imported into Seismovision.
- Each user account on your PC has its own Seismovision configuration file. Making it easy to use in a multi-user environment. Seismovision requires Administrative privileges to run.
Other small features
- The amount of demos played and time wasted is measured and can be viewed in the 'About' box.
- Launch a game directly from Seismovision
- When a game is moved or deleted, Seismovision will show the game in a different colour on the main menu. Green - All is good, Yellow - Not configured and Red - Configured but the game path is invalid or incorrect. This way, configurations problems can be identified with ease.
Technical Support
- Seismovision comes with a HTML help file with all settings and features explained. Easily accessible by pressing F1.
- If the help file is not enough, you can contact the developer over E-mail/ICQ (#118-162-186) or the message board for assistance (http://www.seismovision.net)
- Game and features will be updated as long there is an interest and I have the time to do so.
