All DOS Gameex Configs v 1.0

[incubus158]

Okay guys:

Here is my first release in hopefully of many of my DOS games configuration. I am hoping to improve on this and include any of your guys' input on missing screenshots and missing configs for games that you have gotten to work. Just bear in mind that the whole process of creating screenshots and gameex configs was fully automated, so if you see errors, you'll know why. Also I probably have been working on this thing for at least a month straight. At least 4 days of programming and the scripts ran for about 3 weeks (with unhandled errors everyonce and a while... you will see those.).

Check out the readme for instructions, but it is pretty easy to set up so long as you have the correct directories setup for each DOS game. Overall I dont think you guys should have troubles integrating the 1400 DOS games that I configured.

Tom was gracious enough to give me an account on his server because of my need for server space with this project. Be aware, the download is 180 MEGS!

For more information on any specifics before you commit to the download, please feel free to PM me or search all my previous posts for more info. Most of you know what I have been trying to accomplish by now. Let me know if you like!

great work ...

however one thing there comes to my attation are the size of the .JPG snaps they goes all the way up to nearly 500kb what are kinda high compared to the resolution

i think lowering the compression level would be better ..

else nice work.

Edit: and mby split the ZIP file for the users on low speed connections.

Yeah i think i should have done that first... for the sake of Tom's bandwidth. Tom, I can reupload it with a better compression if you have bandwidth issues.

I kinda just forgot to use photoshop or picasa to minimize the size. I wont be able to do that until after the weekend. Maybe I will rar it up in sections as well.

You can use ImageMagick to batch convert them to size. Photoshop can do batch too I think.

Tell me if you guys get it up and running fine. I want some feedback before I upload anything else.

I just looked through the pack of snaps briefly, and some were missing/bad. I guess you did the snaps with some kind of automation?

Great work though!

Yea definitely there are some missing, and definitely there are a few bad ones, check out DOOM... ooops. My second effort to grab screenshots from the web obviously returned the wrong images on a few that were missing.

If you are interested in contributing, attached is the list of games that did not return very good screenshots.

Anyone who feels like working on this project, I will gladly help in getting something done.

For now, I am gong to work on my database project.
