Quake Injector Alpha1
megaman and I have been busy lately working on a Quake frontend that will make playing singleplayer maps and mods a breeze. Of course that is a lie. Megaman did all the work, I only fixed up the map xml data, demanded this and that and broke everything each time I tried programming myself. Well, here is the first alpha of what we are working on:
The Quake Injector
The Quake Injector is a tool to download, install and play Quake singleplayer maps from the Quaddicted.com archive. Ever been annoyed by an excruciating installation process? Could not figure out how to install a certain map? Well, this tool makes it a piece of cake. Simply pick the map and click Install.
Features
- All Quake singleplayer maps ever made (900+ in the database)
- Simply pick a map, click install and play
- Filter, sort, browse to find your favourite map
- Automatically installs dependencies (e.g. Quoth)
- Cross-Platform
- Free, Open Source Software, released under the GPL.

900+ in the database eh. Just what a Quaker needs on a rainy Cape Breton Saturday morning ;o)

Damn, I wish I had known about this before I took about 4 hours of my day to make .bat files for every map/ expansion seperately ;-)

This tool is uber sexy, I’ve already used it to play many, many great SP maps.
One suggestion though: I just discovered that it doesn’t work without internet connection. It seems it just tries to d/l the database forever instead of having some reasonable timeout and only displaying the maps you already have stored locally if the d/l fails. Would be cool if I could use it to play Quake SP on the train. :)

That’s definitely planned. You can already achieve it with some simple hacking of the source, I did that a while ago (when I wanted to test and not download from the web all the time). Needs better documentation.
