well, I did that. But I have VISTA, and my dxdiag screen doesn't look that way,

I get the "can't access surface for lock" message, and have tried almost everything.
I know CCMT is one of those games where you cannot get support, but I will try.

I've updated DirectX, and I have patched the game.

<t> System specs are Microsoft Vista 32x<br/>
and a hellova lot of processor power and RAM.<br/>
<br/>
I am using custom maps, yes.<br/>

The screen resolution has worked fine the two years I have played it. Perhaps the custom maps?<br/>
I get the error message when I press "battlemaker ...

<t> Tried everything.<br/>
Since I bought it, when it was rereleased, I have uninstalled/installed it several times. And it worked fine.<br/>
BUT! For some reason, it won't work. I can fidget around and try to fix it like the people at matrix games have told me to do in the past, but to no avail ...

<t> I've been playing CoI since it came out, and I have had a fair amount of issues concering the game.<br/>
This time, for no reason what so ever, the game won't play.<br/>
No mods installed, just won't work.<br/>
I just get: "One or more of the parameters passed to the function are incorrect ...

It's going to be real sexy when it is finished! [:D]

good job!

Oh, and if it wasn't obvious:
I'm trying to make a mod for WaR.

Not historical, but I'm going for good gameplay.

<t> Thanks for yet another reply.<br/>
<br/>
Oh, too bad they're not making mods anymore.<br/>
<br/>
What tools do I need?<br/>
I'm guessing map making tools are out of the question.<br/>
Need tools to edit the forces (decided to have the "Varjag" side, and the "Hildolfr" side. Just means "the ...

I am currently playing RSR, so I have that already.<br/>

I need to make a "to do" list.<br/>
Anyone know what needs doing?<br/>
<br/>
As I said before: I am keeping stock maps, voice effects, etc.<br/>
<br/>
This brings me to a problem I am ...

I've been playing CC for some years, but never made my own mod.<br/>
Or even attempted. So this is confusing, to some degree.<br/>
<br/>
I have downloaded everything of interest from CCS before posting here, and the OpenOffice version did ...

<t> Hi CC people,<br/>
I'm 100% green when it comes to modding anything, so, I need help with creating my own mod.<br/>
It's not historical in any way, nor does it use new maps, only need new vehicles (graphics, data) and soldiers (weapons, data, sound). And for this I need help.<br/>
<br/>

<r> Well, my attitude is due to the fact that I'm not used to 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 9 hours waiting for a computer to finish some mindless task. <br/>
And for that I apologize.<br/>

After trying stardownloader, it worked. So Wo-hoo for you guys!<br/>
Thanks!<br/>
I don't want ...

<t> So, now what you're saying is that if I do those things it'll work?<br/>
I did them two frickin' times after the first download failed.<br/>
I haven't tried stardownloader, so I'll give it a shot.<br/>
And if it doesn't work now, I demand my money back.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Thanks<br/>

<t> Thanks.<br/>
But nothing new happened.<br/>

Pardon my french, but I think this is a case of shitty internet security.<br/>
After downloading that horrible file THREE times, a total of 9 hours wasted, nothing new happened. Other than my computer dying. I'm a regular person, I know ...

<t> I bought and downloaded the CC: MT. After two hours of downloading, I tried to unzip but it wouldn't. It just says "File Header is damaged. Abort operation?".<br/>
I've downloaded it two times, same thing. Although the second time it took well over 3 hours.<br/>

I actually have stuff to ...
