done, but still problems. i gotta add, first i copied it (wrongly) to the desktop, and there it showed the .exe files there correctly, so maybe just a stupid dumb KYOOB-MISTAKE. happens. ill tell you if i find a solution.

btw, you can also hire me to make the wiki-page for this program, if not already done, or a help file or what ever. and as we talked via IM, you COULD implent my apps :P

I simply tried to access the Config window by clicking on Config and got this error. Then STC crashes.
By the way I also got this error while clicking on "Soldat Folder" (00407F16 this time). It might be something related to Soldat's path. Mine is E:\Soldat131\.

Also I noticed STC check everything in Soldat directory each time you start it. I think it'd be better to let the user manually select the tools he wishes to see in the Tools menu so that it doesn't display a lot of useless .exe files.

Edit: I did try to copy the app. into the main directory and it still crashes. I can see the tools appearing in the list though.
By the way, as it works for most people (especially the author) don't bother fixing it. It might be due to my regional settings. ;)

GluLm... did you copy the Soldat Tray Control files into your main Soldat directory? I got the same error until I did that (by clicking both "Config" and "Soldat Folder"). There's no option to set your Soldat path, and it doesn't search for it, so you have to copy the files into your Soldat directory.

1. Archive with the programm sould be extracted to Soldat folder only and Soldat Tray Control folder and .exe file should not be renamed.
2. Unfortunately i can't vouch for the 100% compatibility with different regional settings (especially with right-to-left fonts).
3.

How exactly this should work? Do you mean something like folder where you can put shortcuts to necessary tools?

Well actually I don't really think it's anything related to regional settings as I assume you're running a russian version of windows and I'm running a french one... and the app does start without any problem. I'll test it on another computer soon.

As for the tool menu, I was simply thinking about something that woud let you browse into your soldat directory and select the .exe you wish to see appear in the list. Just a thought. ;)

Well i planed this application to have only menu interface so i don't know how to implement this idea propely...
How about adding Add tool and Clear list  items in tool menu so you can browse and add any tools there? But this will require people to perfom quite long manual infill of this list...

Also about IP joiner: it should be like small window with 3 text fields, paste and join button? Or something like kEasyJoin? Also i've been thinking about automatically adding server addres from clipbord to join menu.

Getting the same thing. File originally copied to root Soldat directory. Happens when i select soldat folder or any of the Tools.  Windows2k server, blackbox shell (could that be the reason), US encoding.

You should extract all archive content to your soldat folder as it is. So it should looks like
Code: [Select]
...\Soldat\Soldat Tray Control\Soldat Tray Control.exe

1. Soldatuploads.com mirror download link is working again.
2. Runtime error 103 means *File isn't open*. This can be coused by both Windows2k server and  blackbox shell. I guess STC can't call sertain functions from shell32.dll propely... I'll see what i can do...

To install you just need to extract archive with the program to your Soldat folder and STC is ready to work. Dunno how to make it any simpler...

Indeed, I don't think that VirtualTT could have distributed this in any easier form. My problems are shell-related and shouldn't apply to the majority of standard-issue explorer.exe users.

First off, let me say I LOVE this program, esspecially the window resizer.

But does anyone else have problems with this program sending your ping sky high, into the thousands, and getting you banned from all the local servers?

[EDIT]
Nevermind my first post, it turns out it was just a combination of Bittorent, Winamp, a 24-hour-and-counting windows session, and the first defrag in a few months. Once again, great program.

Resizer turns soldat window into average window with caption, sys buttons and resizeable border. Menu items determine initial window size, you can change it later in-game. This also fixes soldat bug when soldat in windowed mode didn't recive hardware acceleration on systems with some ATI graphic cards.

Soldat Tray Control v1.2.0 arrived!
« Reply #34 on: May 15, 2007, 12:39:31 pm »
Current version of STC (1.1.0) can't work with Soldat 1.4

So what we got in Soldat 1.4:
  • Quote from: changelog
    - Fixed Soldat resizer screen hack
    So from now on we all must *enjoy* possibility to change window scaling from config...
  • Soldat now hides to tray, however it's tray icon doesn't have any functionality, and i can't overrun it for same reason as i can't use resizer
  • All Soldat bugs with parameters reading are still alive.

So i created a poll to get to know whether someone intrested in further development of this app.

Possible new functions:
  • possibility to select whether to use weapon mods (weapons.ini from the mods)
  • Some additional quick options from config


Date Posted: 30-04-2007, 22:40:32
ehh... new version is out... it works with soldat 1.4 and provides several new functions...
