How to make the Quake Injector partially work offline

Our most frequent feature request goes like this: “I would like to use the Quake Injector to launch maps even if I am offline or on a slow connection”. We plan to make it cache the database locally at some point in the future but a workaround is already possible.

Database (the file it tries to download and which fills the table):
In the same directory as your Quake Injector resides a text file called config.properties. We will edit that in a second but first download http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/quaddicted_database.xml into the same directory. Now open config.properties and add a new line to it. I am on Linux, so the line for Windows might be wrong. MacOS users should be able to use a path similar to the Linux one. Below are single lines!

Linux:

RepositoryDatabasePath=file\:///home/quakeguy/games/tools/theamazingquakeinjector/quaddicted_database.xml

Windows:

RepositoryDatabasePath=file\://C:\games\tools\theamazingquakeinjector\quaddicted_database.xml

Now be aware that the Injector will NOT use the up-to-date online database anymore but only, always this local file. Simply remove the line or set it to http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/quaddicted_database.xml if you want the freshest maps again.

Zip files:
Simply put them into your Download Directory as set in the Injector configuration.

Screenshots:
Not possible yet. See this post to see how you can hack it in. Will be included in the next release.
