QuaddictedTool v2.4.1 A utility for viewing and downloading maps from [quaddicted.com](http://quaddicted.com). You can add colored labels, comments, your own notes, and your own rating (v2.0+) to each map/mod. You can sort the database by name, title, size, author, date, and rating.

Very cool! It would be great if you would release it as open source tool, especially considering the potential issues with malware scanners. Are you using the XML from the Quake Injector? It will probably switch to a different format and JSON some times year. ---

The code for this utility has nothing to do with Quake Injector. Everything is based on the parsing of the site pages. The utility will work until the HTML code of the pages changes. I can post the source code on Purebasic. Although it is unlikely that anyone will understand it except me.))) I’m just learning programming. And this utility was written rather for training. ---

v1.0 The Quake Injector base is now used. Fixed crashes. Added search in comments. Added alternative descriptions. The ability to quickly install the archive in QMLauncher 1.4.5+. ! The format for storing lables and comments has changed. Labels and comments from the test version will not be displayed ! Fixes and optimization. Updated description Updated download link Updated screenshot ---

Thanks for appreciating my work. I want to ask if it is worth continuing to develop QuaddictedTool and QMLauncher? In the future, I wanted to combine these two utilities into one, but judging by the number of downloads, these utilities are not of interest to users. And another question. When is it planned to transfer the Quake Injector database from XML to another format? And what will be the format? ---

Very cool tool! Hey motorboy, do you think it’s possible / reasonable to combine QuaddictedTool and QMLauncher into one ultimate tool? I would like too see a way to enlarge screenshot of map. Nevertheless I think this tool should be featured on the main page of Quaddicted. ---

Screenshot preview in full size will be added in the next version. I will combine two utilities into one only after I do everything I have in mind and there will be no errors. ---

Apart from that: No idea. The Quake Injector will need some significant development or even a full replacement (best in PyQt and it must be cross-platform). Development is off and on, I hope I can get a good chunk done next week actually. But “it’s done when it’s done”. The data format will be very close to [https://github.com/SpiritQuaddicted/QuaddictedPlayground/tree/master/json/by-sha256](https://github.com/SpiritQuaddicted/QuaddictedPlayground/tree/master/json/by-sha256) > [@chad2](#): > > Nevertheless I think this tool should be featured on the main page of Quaddicted.

Will the database in xml be available after the Quake Injector switch to the new database format? If so, will the base in the xml be updated? ---

Maybe, maybe not 😃 Someone could write backend code to still provide it, I probably would not do it myself. Shouldn’t be too hard but ultimately it will run into problems with releases not being unique by their filenames but hashes instead. ---

v1.1 > Added preview of the screenshot in a larger size by double clicking. > If QuaddictedTool is launched from QMLauncher(v1.5.0+) - installed archives are marked in the left column. Archives installed in QMLauncher v1.3+ will be displayed. > When you hover the mouse over the button (copy archive link) - the tooltip will contain information about the folder in which the archive is installed and the name of the mod in QMLauncherv1.5.0+. > Added a logo that will be displayed at startup and if the map does not have a screenshot. > Fixes and optimizations In the near future, most likely there will be no updates (if there are no bugs). Since in connection with the transition of the Quake injector to a new database, the utility will most likely stop working. If this happens and I can’t adapt the utility to the new database, I’ll try to make a method for obtaining the database as in the test version - using page parsing. ---

Corrected the mistake. The lable, comment and description were save only for the first 64 cards in the list. Reuploaded the file. Who has already downloaded download again. Unfortunately, the lable comments and description made in the previous version will not be available. I’m sorry. ---

I find this more useful than Quake Injector, and hope the author continues to update it. Two suggestions: the ability to have resizing windows/columns and the option to create a desktop shortcut for the mods you add. ---

Thanks for the positive feedback. I won’t update this utility yet as it uses a database Quake Injector. According to Spirit, soon the Quake injector will switch to a new database format and therefore this utility will most likely stop working, Maybe I will adapt it to the new database later. If I manage to adapt the QuaddictedTool to the new database Quake Injector, i want to combine QMLauncher and QuaddictedTool into one application. About the size of the interface… Increase the DPI of the desktop and then the window and everything else will become larger. Or maybe I’ll try to do interface scaling later. I didn’t quite understand about the shortcut on the desktop. Do you want to run the selected mod without launching the QMLauncher like how it is done in the Simple Quake Launcher? If yes, then I will implement it in the next version of QMLauncher. Sorry. I don’t understand English well and I use Google translate. ---

That’s a good idea, combining the two apps into one. I hope you get around to doing it. About the DPI thing, I prefer not to change Windows desktop DPI to something higher just for one program because then it affects all my other programs and fonts and makes them oversized. I’ll just deal with it if you can’t make resizable/draggable windows for your program. I meant the option to create a shortcut to the mod for your desktop. No biggie though. As long as I have the command line syntax I can always just create my own shortcut to a mod. [Next page](https://discuss.quaddicted.com/t/quaddictedtool-utility/3074.md?page=2)
