PlayThis v3.0 by Paul Pliska

Misc Frontend

Download From:

Avg: 7.0 - Good
File Size: 20.70 KB
Released: 2002-06-10

Description:

PlayThis is another way to launch d-mods instead of using a front-end
or the command prompt. You just double-click the DMOD.DIZ file in the
d-mod's folder. It's especially useful to d-mod authors who are more
likely to have the folder open for other reasons.

NOTE: To install .dmod files, please read the updated Installation Instructions.

This is a front end to play any D-mod.

It seems an awful lot of work to just get a front end up and running: you have to unzip the file and then shift-click a dmod.diz of any D-mod, in order to get the 'open with...' option. Then you have to select 'other', and find and select PlayThis.exe. The front end however, did not work. I got an error indicating that I needed visual basic runtime files, so I had to download those from the Microsoft site. And then the file still would not run. At that time I just could not be bothered to try again or to try find out what was wrong.

There are front ends available that you can easily install with only one click and then the work is done and you can play your D-mod. This file is not exactly user friendly.

I am willing to believe that this is a good front end since it won both a DOTM and DOTY, and therefore the score is a bit higher, but this one does not work for me.

playthis is a small .exe file that allows .diz files (there is one in most dmod's folders) to launch the dmod. this is good if you want to open a dmod easily, instead of searching through the list in a frontend. just open the dmod right from its folder. also, verson 2.1 has the ability to edit, view info, and other features. this is a nice feature to have, the only problem (and i dont know why) is that the 'prompt' box pops up halfway off the screen. i can hit the play button, but to read the rest of the features, i need to drag it onto the screen.
