RE: Magnify the Unit List?

<t> Addendum: while the unit boxes are of the same size now, the original issue of making them larger and more readable for old eyes hasn't been resolved. I tried using the Windows settings to scale things up globally, and while it works for some parts of the interface the unit info box appears ...

RE: Magnify the Unit List?

<r> Fixed. So here's what I did. I went to the shortcut for the Campaign Series and under Compatibility I checked Override High DPI Scaling. I didn't think to do this initially because I didn't regard 1920x1080 as high resolution. <br/>
<br/>
Now the Unit boxes are the same size! Thank you Oberst ...

ORIGINAL: Crossroads

So, while playing Middle East with the TV set as your display, maybe have the Desktop scaling ON?

Well, it is on, by default, on both the laptop and desktop.

The unit list graphics file is 183px wide, so from the screenshot you posted, Middle East looks to be displayed at its proper size, while ...

RE: Magnify the Unit List?

There aren't any scaling options on my shortcuts. I'm sure of this. Moreover, the two games are running concurrently, so any scaling differences, which I believe are global, would affect them both, right?

RE: Magnify the Unit List?

<r> So here's another, better example, this one taken on my laptop screen (1920x1080 resolution) when both JTCS and CSME are running simultaneously. The sizing difference in the unit info box is really substantial--I don't mean to be too aggressive in bringing this issue forward but it really makes ...

I have Windows 10. Wouldn't the scaling option affect both games? My global settings are just the default ones.

It's 1920x1080. I'm definitely not using 2 monitors. Both games were running side by side.

RE: Magnify the Unit List?

<t> Thanks for your help. I checked the shortcuts for both games, there are no switches there. Also, is it even possible to run two games simultaneously when each is at a different screen resolution? Honestly I don't even know but seems doubtful. In the screenshot above you can see both games are ...

That must be the difference. Next question: how do I check/change the screen resolution? Is there an .ini file I've not seen?

Thanks!

Magnify the Unit List?

<r> Is there any way to increase the size of the unit list? I can barely read it when playing on a TV monitor with 1920x1080. <br/>

The Unit List is perfectly visible on the same monitor when playing the old Campaign series. Here's a side by side screen clip taken when both games are up to ...

Hello TJD, the ogg played at front end is xbackg1.ogg. There's a different ogg in each game folder. <br/>

By original Rising Sun ogg do you refer to Talonsoft's version of the game, does it play a different tune? I have those disks ...

Can anyone identify which .ogg files play when the scenario selection screens appear? Also, is the original ogg for Rising Sun still available?

RE: Patch out for those who are wavering

<t> I think these games are inherently difficult to beta-test because most testers can't parse the scripting language, and many of AGEOD's errors are found there. Generally, beta testers just kick the tires and have a look-around and judge whether things seem to be more or less WAD. And that's fine ...
