QuakeAMP

[Neil]

Here is some code i wrote for controlling winamp from inside quake. This is just for the tittle, if people want full control, ill paste the rest.

This is for qrack.

1) goto cmd.c right under the Cmd_PrintLoc_F code paste this code

void Cmd_GetWinampTitle_f (void) // neil
{
	HWND hwndWinamp = FindWindow("Winamp v1.x",NULL);

	char this_title[2048],*p;
	GetWindowText(hwndWinamp,this_title,sizeof(this_title));
	p = this_title+strlen(this_title)-8;
	while (p >= this_title)
	{
		if (!strnicmp(p,"- Winamp",8)) break;
		p--;

	}
	if (p >= this_title) p--;
	while (p >= this_title && *p == ' ') p--;
	*++p=0;
	//Con_Printf ("Song: %s", this_title);
	Cbuf_AddText (va("say MP3: %s\n", this_title));
	Cbuf_Execute ();

}

2) Under Cmd_AddCommand ("spot", Cmd_PrintLoc_f);//R00k
Add

Cmd_AddCommand ("winamp", Cmd_GetWinampTitle_f); //Neil

3) Bind a key to "winamp"

Enjoy!

hmm

neat i guess, but winamp already has global hotkeys

i just made < > and / previous, pauseplay and next

[gnounc]

oooh sorry

didnt read in depth either hahaha

uhh showing the title that is actually cool: )

fuhquake used to have that...i miss fuhquake

[R00k]

yeah! check out ezQuake based on Fuh!

[gnounc]

thx

oh sweet... I didnt know hehe.

If I ever start actually playing again, I'll use it.

so could this be added to proquake, for the tinkering k inspirations?

[spooker]

personally i dumped winamp many years ago, when it tried to turn itself from a humble though excellent mp3 player into a video player and they tacked on a web browser, database system and god knows what other trash. i tried it again recently and found i had made the right decision in ditching it

[metchsteekle]

..hmm i didn't know it was a big thing, i always thought it was a mp3 player deal only

[yes i don't have winamp, but would get it if this worked with proquakes ]

[Baker]

yes i don't have winamp, but would get it if this worked with proquakes

I don't see any reason why this should have been added to any engine to begin with, but hooray for diversity.

You know how to compile so you could do a "do it yourself" version.

[metchsteekle]

thats what i had in mind ;}, im just procrastinating

[Neil]

the code will work in any engine, just the install i wrote about was for qrack im sure its just as easy for proquake.

I've used Winamp for many, many years. The only reason I've upgraded over the years is because I wanted some functionality in the newer versions. I've never used the Pro version either.

I do admit that it has gotten kinda bulky with shit I'll probably never us but I still prefer it to anything else out there. The lite version has alot of stuff stripped out of it. I prefer to use the full version. I end up doing a custom install and taking stuff out of the install like the shortcuts for various junk. I don't think I got milkdrop with the lite version. I like using Winamp for managing music on my iPod too. iTunes is bloatware 10x worse imo.

I just wanted to stick up for the trusty media player I've known for a long time. I don't want it lumped into the same category as WMP and iTunes. Like most things copied by Microsoft, it works better and has less security problems.

i looked at using winamp for managing my ipod, but the last time i checked (a long time ago), it lacked the ability to load photos and videos, which is extremely important to me. last i checked, only itunes can do this. however, itunes has indeed become offensively bloaty, so i use version 7.0.6.29--it does everything i need without some of the bloat. they really pissed me off when they added mandatory support for iphone--I DONT HAVE A $^*&*#@ IPHONE. i installed a newer version of itunes, found that it added an iphone icon in "My Computer", so i uninstalled. the icon is still there, forever more...... GRRRR!

i also use windows media player a lot, even updating it. but thank god there's VLC media player--it seems to be the only decent program that can resist the tendency to bloat. i just got mediamonkey though, and it looks good. for pictures, i use irfanview and picasa

[metchsteekle]

irfanview is the shiznitt fohreal brodah waaaaahhhhh?

foobar2k ftw

I just reinstalled windows...ive been using xmms2 on linux for about a year now..thats what I like, uhmmm before that I was a big winamp fan until about the time AOL bought it. Foobar2k is the shit, buuuuuuuut it takes a lot of putzing about to get it to look nice. but its faaaaaaaast, and simple (or as complex as you want it) It really is the most customizable peice of software ive ever seen on a windows machine that doesnt use QuakeC
