GSdxGUI

Firnis · January 2nd, 2008

I wrote a small utility to view GSdx .gs files (demos).

Small doc:
1) Programm must be putted in pcsx2 folder.
2) Default language - english. You can change it in select menu "Language".
3) Select from list demo and click "Play". You can view a preview image by double clicking on file in list.
4) "Configire" open a GSdx Configure window.
5) You can rename .gs by pressing "Rename".
6) You can delete .gs by pressing "Delete". If you check "Image Delete", then .bmp file with same name as .gs file will be deleted too.
7) "About" - some info about program.
8) To translate program to another language you just need to translate .lang file and give it a name "%some_language%.lang", like english and russian.

1) Программа должна находится в папке с pcsx2.
2) Язык по-умолчанию - английский. Его можно сменить, выбрав нужный в выпадающем меню "Language" (Язык).
3) Выбираем из списка необходимый ролик и проигрываем его, нажав "Играть" (Play). Также можно посмотреть изображение у ролику, кликнув два раза по имени в списке.Изображение закрывается одним кликом по нему.
4) Кнопка "Настроить" открывает окно настройки GSdx. Все изменения в настройках отразятся на проигрываемых роликах.
5) Чтобы переименовать .gs файл и соответствующий ему .bmp файл нажмите "Переимен.".
6) Чтобы удалить .gs файл нажмите "Удалить". Если вы выбетире "Удал. картинку", то изображение соответствующее .gs файлу будет тоже удалено.
7) "О..." информация о программе.
8) Языковые настройки хранятся в .lang файлах, поэтому не составит труда перевести программу на любой другой язык.

Included languages:
Brazilian portuguese - intell
Chinese simplified - GavinDX
Chinese traditional - GavinDX
Dutch - Nepsquare
English - shuffle2
French - physicienxs
German - NexXxus
Italian - ameppe
Japan - Black B

aayyeee!
you stole my idea, but doesn't matter

edit: oh, you credited me, thx ^^

**Shadow Lady** · January 2nd, 2008

I so though this was NeXxus's when I saw the title

thx for the app Firnis

niuus · January 2nd, 2008

Nice app. Thx.

shuffle2 · January 2nd, 2008

very nice!
I changed the english.lang a little bit, it's attached. (as .txt)
also, the configure and play buttons don't seem to work for me...see attached picture. Looks like it's failing because of spaces in file names.
great app, and great idea

p.s. by opening the demo.cmd generated by your app you can clearly see why it's failing with spaces....needs quotes!

(see attached)

p.s.s- i think it would be better if you change the operating directory to the pcsx2 root folder, and then do something like:
rundll32 plugins\gsdx.dll,GSReplay snap\<.gs filename>
that's just how i would do it

so.....in my case:
cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Shawn\Desktop\Pcsx2" & rundll32 plugins\gsdx.dll,GSReplay snap\gsdx_20080102153734.gs
which is: cd "<path to pcsx2 dir in quotes>" & rundll32 plugins\gsdx.dll,GSReplay snap\<.gs filename>

To first half quotes works well, but after "GSReplay" they wont work.
Thx for edited english

UPD
Upload new version.

Version 1.03: [*]Fixed path to pcsx2. Added quotes to solve spaces prob. [*]Edited english.lang. Thanks to shuffle2.

It seems that quotes not needed to secong half.

shuffle2 · January 2nd, 2008

see my post again

another p.s. :
I really like the previews...looks goooooood

.gs files may contain spaces too.
How about 1.03?

NexXxus · January 2nd, 2008

much better than the one i created.

but i noticed an translation bug,
the word "size" is still there even when i translate it.
when i select an .GS file then it change to the translated one.

oh and can you add an checkbox to delete the bmp also when deleting an GS file?
not really needed but might be useful

keep it up !

i do not think .gs filenames will ever have spaces in them?
either way, it doesn't work becuase of this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Shawn\Desktop\Pcsx2\GSdxGUI_1.03>rundll32 "C:\Documents and Settings\Shawn\Desktop\Pcsx2\plugins\gsdx.dll",GSR eplay C:\Documents and Settings\Shawn\Desktop\Pcsx2\snap\gsdx_20080102163 101.gs
(note: i don't know why there are random spaces in there, seems to be a forum problem)

the gsreplay function loads, but cannot function correctly because the working directory needs to be the root pcsx2 directory (it needs to know where d3dx9_36.dll is).

good luck

Dragonheart.by · January 2nd, 2008

Thanks man! Great app! The only prob now - it is difficult to hold Ctrl+shift+f8 and play holding it. if only gabest add a ability to start recording after single button press and stop after it's pressing again.
Еще раз спасибо за твой труд

!

NexXxus · January 2nd, 2008

the problem actually when playing those files is that harddrives are too slow to play it smoothly enough.
what i mean is, reading a 1+ gig file in 3 seconds ? lol

you need more than 4GB ram to cache a +15 second video to play it smoothly, dependent how much stuff you see.

shuffle2 · January 2nd, 2008

yeah, .gs dumps are good because they let you have a consistent demo for testing new settings (and in gabest's case, seeing what's going on behind the scenes)....it is a far from practical means to record movies of games.

Firnis · January 2nd, 2008

Version 1.04:
[-]Deleted "Set pcsx2 dir". Now you must put this app in pcsx2 folder.
[+]Added CheckBox "Delete image". Image will be deleted with .gs file.
[*]Some changes in config file, so you need to delete your before launch a new version.
[*]Change places of "Rename" and "Delete" buttons.
[*]Fix "Size" after language selection.

Dragonheart.by
You need hold only Ctrl, not Ctrl+Shift+F8.

shuffle2 · January 2nd, 2008

version 1.04 works great!
suggestions (if you want to work more

) :
-more languages
-make the .bmp appear below the language selector (so whichever is highlighted gets displayed there)....would require image resizing....
have fun, and thanks a lot!

Firnis · January 2nd, 2008

Version 1.04a:
[*]Forget to read "Image Delete" from lang file ^_^
[*]Change structure of config file. Its last time you need to delete a old config. I include a version check.

And new "readme"

- I'm thinking about that, maybe next version will be with this feature.

No, it'snot working for me. Only Ctrl+Shift+F8. Strange...

BTW, is there any possibility to convert demos to avi? Or fraps is the only way?

shuffle2 · January 2nd, 2008

you can press Ctrl+Shift+F8, then release shift and f8...it will keep recording as long as control is pressed. however, doing it either way for too long will poo all over your hard drive, as mentioned above

Firnis · January 2nd, 2008

Version 1.05:
[+]Added small preview image below language selector. Click it to enlarge.
[*]Fixed starting programm, now autoselected first demo from list.
[*]Some other fixes.

Its question you must adress to Gabest. But I dont think that its possible...

Version 1.05a:
[*]Now all files are stored in GSdxGUI folder, but .exe file must be in pcsx2 folder. Its just clear pcsx2 folder from non necessary files.
[*]All found bugs were fixed.
[*]Some other changes.

shuffle2 · January 3rd, 2008

1.05a is great!
attached is german translation...it's not my first language, so others can feel free to correct me....also, what is the line "Restart program to enable changes." meant for? I've never seen it used...
