ARGUS Help


Read me first


This is a very short help describtion.

With Argus you can watch demos. Just select "Open demo" in the File menu. All standard maps in Quake 3 Arena are supported. You can also connect directly to a Quake 3 Server. Select "Connect to Server" in the File Menu. For internet servers you have to fill out the Authentication Key field in Options/Client. Set rate and snaps like in Quake, if necessary set a password.

You can choose between five different screens. Console shows you the same text as you would see in the Quake console. If you are connected to a server, you can use the console to say something to the other players. if you set a backslash in front you can send commands to the server. For example "\disconnect" for a manuell disconnect form server. After disconnect you can save the last online game under File/Save demo as a DM3 File. Be sure the set the .DM3 extension when saving the file.

In demos you can use the play and pause bottons to stop and resume demo. if you press more than once the play botton, play speed will increase.

In Graphs you can compare up to four players. just choose some players and what values you want to see (data source 1 & data source 2)

In statistics you can so a HTML document of the actual game and player stats. Press refresh if you want to update this values or save to save this HTML document in a file on disc.

Debug is only for me to see want went wrong ( a lot until now ;-)
