Dude,
First of all, I should admit that I have never played Quake III Arena you know.
I provided the source code in hopes that you will be able to continue your work, but now I see you have got only VB6.
Thanks for the appreciation, I did it in my lunch hour yesterday..I will have another look today.
I need this thread to be educative and someone can actually learn something out of it. So I will keep explaining the bugs you pointed out.
oh ok wont do 207.44.182.28:27960 or something like that...
As I said earlier, it was taking the IP Address as the file name:
Dim strFile As Stream = File.Open(Application.StartupPath + "\" + strServerAddress + ".bat",
A file name with a colon is invalid. Therefore a filename such as 207.44.182.28:27960.bat is impossible, and hence gave that error. Oh now I see you have already mentioned it.
also one question the default directories look good..but does it automattically decet the folders or is it just set to that...
The SystemDrive will be detected by the following code. The rest are constants (they can be modified by the user though):
txtQ3A.Text = Environ("SystemDrive") + "\Program Files\Quake III Arena"
oh and btw the connect part as too look like this to work...has to be in ""
That's easy, you just have to put Chr(34) or four " marks.
"Start /w quake3.exe +set fs_game q3ut3 +nosplash +set com_hunkmegs 128 +com_zoneMegs 32 +com_soundmegs 32 +connect " + _
"""" + strServerAddress + """" + " /prefetch:1"
and this dont even work for some reason Start /MIN Minimizer.exe
That must be an error in your DOS command. I am not sure about it.
[b]Those are just my settings. I need it so the user can do there ony setting.[/b
Since I haven't played Quake II Arena and do not anything about settings, It's hard to figure out for me, which are variables and which are not. I hope you can continue from now on.
All the best,
