FRAPS Renamer

[Stu1983]

I've wrote a little plugin that some of you might find helpful when creating in game avi's.

Basically it sits and monitors your FRAPS recording directory and when it detects an avi it renames it to the name of the game you are currently playing in GameEx

Make sure you have FRAPS running in the background before you start GameEx

Then it should just be a matter of playing your games and hitting the FRAPS record key (default F9) to start and stop recording

*if you've changed the default FRAPS save directory, run the plugin configurator and tell it your new path*

Place the dll in your GameEx\PLUGINS folder

Thank you very much!

I really wanted to write this as a plugin for GameEx but after messing about for a couple of hours I couldn't get GameEx's plugin system to do anything ...

If you need help writing a plugin make a post with your code and I can help you get it working if you like

Thanks but never mind I'm just an idiot

I couldn't get the plugin to do anything, not even display a message box other than as soon as GameEx had started but I've just found the problem.

I had changed 'Public Const PluginVersion As String = "1.30"' to my own version number thinking that was for me to keep track of versions but I've just realised that its the version of the PlugIn system that GameEx uses

That being said I'm sure I'll hit more problems along the way

Lol I must be an idiot too then as I made the same mistake with PluginVersion once. Easy one to make and yeah it breaks the plugin straight away because certain plugin versions expect certain parameters so new features can be added without breaking old ones. Anyway sorry for being OT, if you want to give it another try don't hessitate to make another post

I've just converted my tool to a GameEx plugin so it's much handier, it can now be enabled or disabled from the Plugin Manager

This version also has the option of prefixing the emulator name to the start of each game name

It also disables itself if it doesn't detect the FRAPS process is running

I've updated the first post with the new version
