BETA section available

I put up a BETA section for the latest testing versions of Seismovision so you people don't have to wait so long to get a bug fixed. If you have a problem check out the BETA section whether your bug/problem has been assesed lately.

Seismovision v2.21 Released

This is almost a pure bug fix release, if you don't have any problems Seismovision you do not need to download this update. Please e-mail me if more bugs/problems are found at [email][email protected][/email].

Changes from v2.20:
– fixed: Demos not playing on Counter-Strike Retail
– updated: Seismovision – Update System v1.10
– added: The Update System now states when it cannot reach the server.
– added: Size in megabytes is now displayed in the Update System when selecting downloads.
– fixed: A nasty bug that made the playing if demo impossible on certain systems
– added: Greek (thanx got greepLayer) and Spanish (thanx to [mostoles*arena]memphis) translation of Seismovision, now 8 languages!!!

I have started thinking about Seismovision 3, what new features would you like to have in Seismovision 3?

Here are my ideas:
– Config, mod, game, external program execution,… selection for EVERY demo type
– Simple demo control editor
– Multi-User support (using Windows Login)
– qwz and mvd demo support for Quake World
– sd3 demo support for Quake 3 Arena
– Use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) for play list creation
– XP visual style for systems running WindowsXP with XP visual style enabled
– Your idea here??

Post your ideas at the official Seismovision forum: [url]http://www.planetquake3.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Forum&file=viewtopic&topic=479&forum=7[/url] or mail them to [email][email protected][/email]

Happy birthday to me!

Today I turn 19. As present I have received the Greek translation for Seismovision! It will be in the Seismovision v2.21 release soon. If anyone still has a bug of some sort, please complain!!!

First bug in Seismovision v2.20

The first bug has been discovered. Demos will not load on Counter-Strike Retail, saying it cannot find the demo. This bug will be assessed in the next update. Here is a work around for the problem: Go into the 'Data' directory of Seismovision and open the file '004_hl.sgd' in notepad (or other text editor). Find the fourth line which should look like this 'Game Base="valve"' and change it to 'Game Base="cstrike"'. People who don't use the Retail version should not do this.

Please report bugs if you find some, give suggestions or anything! Use the Forum or e-mail me ([email protected])

Soldier of Fortune v1.03

I finally got the Soldier of Fortune v1.03 patch. To my disappointment it cannot play demos recorded in v1.02 although they have the same demo extension as v1.03 (*.dm_2004) =( I'm working on the identification of v1.02 and v1.03 but this can still take some time as I have to analyse them on a hexademical level =P Any help would be appreciated on this matter.

Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year!!

See ya all next year!! Gutten rutsch ins neue Jahr!!

Unreal Tournament 2003 demo support:
I'm working on the Unreal Tournament 2003 demo support but I still have some problems using the command line to access a script to launch the demo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Seismovision v2.20 Delayed

I have to delay Seismovision v2.20 a bit because of problems that I still have to resolve.

The release shall be after new year some time. There is atill a problem with Context Menu Shell extension under WinXP and Quake 1 demo playing problems.

Seismovision v2.20 Comming soon!

The release of Seismovision v2.20 shall be before X-Mas. With new features like Context Menu Shell Extensions (fancy right-click menu), democast support for OSP and a demo screen saver. Heavy BETA testing is going on to get rid of all those nasty bugs. Please mail me if YOU have a problem so it can get fixed in this release.

RtCW:
There will be no AVA Update for Return to Castle Wolfenstein v1.41 as the latest patch does not concern the playing of demos.

With this update, Seismovision now supports *.dm_57 (v1.10), *.dm_58 (v1.31), *.dm_59 (v1.33) and *.dm_60 (v1.40) demos for Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
