Also, map (warp) isn't being restored from .zdl properly
Or INI it seems
Anywho got to go to bed

When using either of these boxes, command line options that require a parameter like:

"-loadgame ~/.zdoom.save0.zds"

(for cooperative netplay) don't work, even when I use quotation marks.
If I test something like -warp (with no parameter) the game crashes out saying it could not find MAP00. If I supply a parameter, the game launches ignoring the option.
Options that do not require a parameter (like --nosound or --nomusic") DO work properly.
A key line in the strace output was:

3684 execve("/usr/local/bin/zdoom", ["/usr/local/bin/zdoom", "-iwad", "/usr/local/share/doom/doom2.wad", "-file", "/home/brad/addons/cleim20.wad", "-deh", "/home/brad/My_work/morestuff.deh", "+map MAP02"], [/* 44 vars */] <unfinished ...>

The option items that were working have the parameters separated from the options, but the non-working one didn't.

The Update Notifier isn't exactly a useful feature. It currently checks a dead URL, and we all know it's been years since there have been updates to notify of.

Apart from that, it uses the QHttp class, which is gone in Qt 5. While rewriting it to follow current Qt best practices (QNetworkAccessManager) is an option, I'd recommend just removing it. The Update Notifier is the only part of the codebase that uses QHttp.

So let's just take this part out, and we'll consider that the first step towards the port to Qt 5.

I intend to have a pull request for this up soon.

• Okay. First off, for some reason ZDoom doesn't get to properly read AutoExec
  Works fine with ZDL 3.1a, I'm thinking because it changes active directory to ZDoom's
  By the way, NeuralStunner on espernet told me "privmsg qbasicer that I found: ZDLSharp definitely needs to switch to the port's directory. Ran ChocoDoom with it, and it stored the configs in ZDL's directory." 17 minutes and 4 seconds ago

Feature request from Enjay (http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=32596&p=618883#p618823)

One thing I wonder, and despite what I said above, I'd like another option please. I have tried the options set with the "Quote Paths" option ticked and unticked. I assume that this option refers to whether QZDL will use quotes when passing file locations to the command line or not (for paths with spaces presumably). However, I was looking for an option to switch off the path name being displayed in the "External Files" box. I don't use preconfigured game options. I just drag and drop stuff on to ZDL when I am going to play. So, I always know the location of the external file and I don't need to see the path displayed (plus, much of the time the path is too long to be seen in its entirety any way and it kind of obfuscates the file name too). So, could this feature be toggleable? It's a minor point but it would be nice to have the option IMO because it would clean up the appearance of the window for me.

When you open the application, because the way the widgets are created, the multiplayer pane does not get the signal to fill in it's interface with configuration information.

Okay, ever since you changed it to use the native dialog system, it seems you marked the flags wrong, because when I click "Load .zdl", it gives me a save prompt instead, which means it gives the "Are you sure?" before allowing me to load the file every time, which is kind of annoying.

From http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=32596&p=617302#p617356

Works if "Quote Paths" is disabled.

Current methods require putting config in current directory, deleting the %APPDATA% version, and running qZDL to invoke an import.

That method is hacky and not great, replace it with a method to import the current configuration.

When I try to host a Server and launch it,then a friend tries to join,then it just doesn't work.

Do I do something wrong?

The dialog boxes where you enter your IWADs and engines should validate that they actually exist on disk.

"The (q)ZDL Advanced Multiplayer Settings 'window' (AKA: Multi Settings button) forgets what is set when you go back into the window (everything is defaulted back to normal)."

Right now, the configuration file is stored here:
[USER_FOLDER]/AppData/Roaming/Vectec Software/qzdl.ini

For this reason, ZDL Launcher is not truly portable. Can you change this so that the configuration file is stored inside the application folder? You could make this an alternative, for example, if qzdl.ini is found inside the application folder use it, otherwise keep the current handling.

I believe the necessary change is made here:
https://github.com/qbasicer/qzdl/blob/master/qzdl.cpp#L65
(if it is already changed there, I'm just waiting for a new release, I guess)

Sidenotes: What about a new release? This is more active than that other ZDL (which is actually a fork of yours), and the updater in the last release has long stopped working. If you decide to release, maybe also tell us what sets this apart from the other fork.

Does this exist and I am just to dumb to find it,or does it not exist?
That would be easier to just disable them instead of remove them entirely.

I have run into these issues when trying to build in terminal and in QT Creator, any suggestions on how to resolve these errors?

When I try to run the configure file it outputs this error:

mkspecs/devices/linux-arm-amlogic-8726M-g++/qeglfshooks_8726m.cpp:40:10: fatal error: 'private/qeglfshooks_p.h' file not found

The box in which which you enter the host's IP when using the "Joining" option in multiplayer is ignored, making it impossible to join a multiplayer game which you're not hosting.

• When Remove is used on a file in the External Files list, it unselects everything in that box
  Whereas in 1.3a it leaves the next file selected, so you can just hit Remove repeatedly and clear the list

Right now, nobody can even copy and paste text out of the update dialog box.

The alwaysadd configuration option is not read on application launch.

Happens because the 'ok' variable was not being read correctly.

Please reply so that we know that you (qbasicer, the maintainer) is not physically dead.

Thanks.

I think this is the only feature that Telefrag Mapspawn has over ZDL at the moment. Maybe I should look into submitting a pull request...? Everything necessary already seems to exist in code.

When launching on Windows, the autoclose functionality doesn't actually do anything.

I've noticed that the --disable-importer configure flag does not actually do anything.

Remove this check box (but still follow the .ini configuration). It's not really required as most of those issues have been worked out now.

The dialog box to select IWADS should default to the directory pointed to by DOOMWADDIR, if that environment variable is set and if the directory exists.

• +Set does not appear to work
  "+Set DeathMatch 1" will not start a game as DM (3.1a does)
  +DeathMatch 1 works, however
  Odd thing is, it uses +Set in the command line for the DMFlags

I was cleaning out my git/ email folder, and found a link to this software. It turns out, nowhere on the website, in the github description, or in the README is there even a single line of text to say what qZDL is and does!

• Exit button doesn't work - oops!

If you open a qZDL from another qZDL with autoclose enabled may cause the child qZDL to crash

I noticed (twice in a row), while playing GZDooM (and possibly ZDooM) via multiplayer, that the DMFlags aren't correct.

In qZDL, DMFlags for Items Respawn and Mega Powerups Respawn (an example) is 278528. In (G)ZDooM however, it's 540672.

hasupdate is not reset on upgrade

If I check "Close on Launch" and launch DOOM, then the QZDL crashes and I see the following in the terminal:

QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running.

Maybe look into using QProcess::startDetached?

Hi,

I have brütal doom files in a directory with exactly that: a ü as per somewhere I saw it written with umlauted u.

qzdm constructs a command line with "brÃ�¼tal" in there instead of just "brütal".

Also, the frontend does not handle spaces in folder names correctly.

Easy fix: don't use any non (ASCII?) characters in your folder (or file) names, nor spaces.

However this is not 1996 anymore so I feel these should be handled correctly (at least the spaces).

This is on Linux, locale set as utf8 one (fi_FI.UTF-8).

Later,
"Well, actually, I can use my mouse's horizontal action to scroll it, but this goes against Windows' behavior of letting you use the actual wheel to scroll if there's no vertical scroll bar."

I'm on debian and I have GZDOOM installed.

qzdl built fine and is running, but theres nothing in the source port drop down. How do I help it find my engines?
