Files within the archive wdp105.exe
-------------------------------------------------
WDP.exe (WDP program file)
read1st.txt (The file you are reading)



Operating System
----------------
Tested with
-Windows 2000 Professional SP2
-Windows XP Professional
Should work with Win98/Me too.


Qickstart
----------
-Start wdp105.exe and install it.
-Set your RTCW directory, choose \"Demplay Enabled\" and press the OK button.
-Now WDP is configured to play RTCW multiplayer demos.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now double click or right click a dm_57/dm_58 file and choose a command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Uninstall
---------
-Double click the wdp.exe file.
-Set the option \"Demoplay Disabled\" from the WDP main window.
-Press the Cancel or OK button.
-Now delete the WDP files.



What\'s it
----------
Double click (right click for more options!) a RTCW multiplayer demo to play it.
Play multiple selected demos, play demo loops, do timedemos.


What\'s new in version 1.05
--------------------------
added: Support for RTCW 1.32 (dm_59 files).



Demo play control keys in RTCW
------------------------------
fast forward: keypad enter
slow motion: keypad delete
increase speed: keypad plus
decrease speed: keypad minus
pause demo: pause key
next demo from playlist: keypad right arrow
previous demo from playlist: keypad left arrow
quit WolfMP.exe: keypad end

Note: To change the above mentioned demo playback keys, edit the file wdp.cfg. Only use
F-keys or keys from the numeric keypad, otherwise the demo play will be interrupted by pressing those keys.



How it works
------------
When you double click a demo the following happens

-wdp.exe saves the wolfconfig_mp.cfg in memory
-wdp.exe executes the program WolfMP.exe with the necessary command line paramters to execute demos and stays
in memory consuming absolutely no cpu time.
-after WolfMP.exe has finished to play demos it will be terminated automatically.
(you may terminate it yourself every time you wish to by pressing the \"keypad end\" key).
-wdp.exe restores the original wolfconfig_mp.cfg and terminates itself.



How to configure RTCW to play demos
-----------------------------------
The \"Additional command line parameters\" edit field gives you the total control over RTCW\'s behaviour while playing demos.
You may create and execute a script file or you may write console commands directly into there.
A simple example would be

+set r_fullscreen 0

to play demos in windowed mode.

Remember that your original wolfconfig_mp.cfg will not be touched by these extra settings, since after
the demoplaying WolfMP session has terminated, WDP will restore your wolfconfig_mp.cfg to the state before
playing the demo(s).

NOTE: Do not play online with the same WolfMP.exe session which has played demos. Rather restart WolfMP.exe to do so.




How to record demos
-------------------
create a file RTCW_DIR\\Main\\record.cfg with the following lines

--snip--
bind \"F8\" vstr demo_button
set demo_button_1 \"set demo_button vstr demo_button_0;set g_syncronousclients 1; wait ; record ;wait ;set g_syncronousclients 0 ;echo recording\"
set demo_button_0 \"set demo_button vstr demo_button_1;set g_syncronousclients 0; wait ; stoprecord ; echo stoprecording\"
vstr demo_button_0
--snip--

Append to RTCW_DIR\\Main\\autoexec.cfg the following line

--snip--
exec record.cfg
--snip--

Now use the F8 key in RTCW to toggle demo recording.
