Homebrew Qwad

v0.5a is now available. See above for ChangeLog & Links.

I don't think many people have python under windows.
Why not package it as an exe instead?

 

[Cyan]

I missed that thread in august.
Thanks for that tool, I'll certainly use it when I need to unpack a wad.

Version 0.7 is now availabe (featuring small bugfixes) and it seems GBA Temp has missing v0.6 aswell. Full ChangeLog/Downlads in first post.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

I can't find the windows version of 0.7!

I can't find the windows version of 0.7!

There is no "Windows" version, it's Python so it's cross platform. You just need to install the dependencies, listed in "DEPS":

Dependencies:
 
Python 2.5+ ( Windows installer: http://python.org/download/ )
PyQt4 ( Windows installer: http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download )
PyCrypto ( Windows installer: http://dragffy.com/blog/posts/ython-pycrypto-2-4-1-32-and-64-bit-windows-32x64-amdintel-installers )

Then run "Qwad.pyw" and it should work.

EDIT: The PyCrypto URL is broken, use this one instead: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto

Also, I had to comment out lines 13 and 14 in "Qwad.pyw" to make it work. To comment out a line, put a "#" at the start, so the lines end up like this:

#else:
    #os.chdir(os.getenv("HOME"))

(You could also just remove the lines)

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Thanks last link should be http://www.moojuice.net/ython-pycrypto-2-4-1-32-and-64-bit-windows-32x64-amdintel-installers/
testing now

 

[Excelsiior]

ah, yes I'll change it so, that os.chdir is called only on non-windows plattform and update the link in DEPS.

 

[Excelsiior]

v0.8 available, I did more testing and squashed some bugs. Ah, and you can now also choose the YouTube channel to download. (see first post)

I've installed all prerequisites
Double clicking Qwad.pyw does nothing
tried commenting out what sifjar suggested ... same

You've probably installed the wrong version of some dependency or something. Instead of double clicking Qwad.pyw, open a command prompt, navigate to the Qwad folder and run "python Qwad.pyw" and it should give some output to hint at what's going wrong.

You installed Python 3.X, this is a Python 2.X program. Install Python 2.7 along with all the Python 2.7 versions of the dependencies. Probably easiest to uninstall your existing Python and the dependencies first.

Although really, there is nothing particularly special about this program on Windows, there are plenty of other tools to do these jobs there. On Mac and Linux there are less alternatives.

thanks it worked
I cleaned everything related to python and installed:
python-2.7.2.msi
PyQt4-4.10.2-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.4-x32.exe
pycrypto-2.3.win32-py2.7.msi
