[Release] MW3Path Method (C#)

[kokole]

So this is a method wich just, basically, well what the title says, it says you where MW3 is installed. All is explained in the code and in the end of the post you have an exmaple. All this code is made 99% by me. ( Just searched in google for help )

CSHARP Code

using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Win32;
 
        private string MW3Path()
        {
            //this searches the game in the registry (steam)
            RegistryKey regKey = Registry.CurrentUser;
            regKey = regKey.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Valve\Steam");
            bool canFindSteamPath = false;
            string steamInstallPath;
            string MW3Directory = String.Empty;
            //if the registry key exists then we probably know the MW3 directory
            if (regKey != null)
            {
                steamInstallPath = regKey.GetValue("SteamPath").ToString();
                MW3Directory = steamInstallPath + "/steamapps/common/call of duty modern warfare 3";
                //this checks if some needed file exists so the mod can be installed, and if all this exists then we found the MW3 directory
                if (File.Exists(MW3Directory + "/main/iw_00.iwd")) { canFindSteamPath = true; }
                //if it does not exist, then we did not find it
                else { canFindSteamPath = false; }
            }
            else { canFindSteamPath = false; }
            //if we cant find the folder automatically, then a folderbrowserdialog shows up
            if (!canFindSteamPath)
            {
                    MessageBox.Show("Cant find Steam path, please select the MW3 folder");
                    FolderBrowserDialog MW3Folder = new FolderBrowserDialog();
                    DialogResult result = MW3Folder.ShowDialog();
                    if (result == DialogResult.OK) { MW3Directory = MW3Folder.SelectedPath; }
                    //if the user hits cancel in the folderbrowserdialog then the MW3Directory will be NULL
                    else { MW3Directory = null; }
            }
            return MW3Directory;
        }

Example:

CSHARP Code

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string MW3Directory = MW3Path();
            if (MW3Directory != null)
            {
                if (Directory.Exists(MW3Directory))
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("Your mw3 directory is " + MW3Directory);
                }
                else
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("Invalid folder");
                }
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("You didnt select any folder");
            }
        }

You can remake this for any game
Everyone can use this if you want

[Nukem]

Seems useful some some

P.S. You forgot to close the registry key (Unless if C# automatically does this?...)

[kokole]

Seems useful some some, thanks

P.S. You forgot to close the registry key (Unless if C# automatically does this?...)

Hmm I dont really know but im using this in my background changer and I havent seen any problem related with what you are saying

[JariZ]

Not that useful, but might be interesting for lazy people.

In theory it could check your HDD if there is a map called "pr0n".

code much?

[rotceh_dnih]

lol well if you take out all the commented out lines + anyhting todo with the editbox and config stuff then it is small but also c# is a much higher language there for is eazer i guess :/

[Arteq]

Isn't it that C++?
Anyway, VB is still best
