Screen Resolution/Register

[Adnan Meshuggi]

Good advice !
at last for the first few years of playtesting [:D][:D][:D]

It looks beautiful to me on my 21-inch monitor. It would be nice, though, if there were some zoom-out feature other than the strategic map. Or is there already and I just missed it?

Just a follow up. The game looks fine on my 18.1 flat panel moniter with only minor exceptions. Some elements are just a touch blurry. The LCU symbols represented at the bottom of the base screens for one, along with the aircraft symbols. I know to some that the items mentioned represents a minor complaint, but from what I remember from the survey that was given here, there was a preponderance of 1280X1024 screens at the time. So why the lower res without the ability to switch I wonder?

Now back to the Japs demise!

If you have a TFT with a fixed resolution higher than 1024x768, you can try running the game in windowed mode. First make a shortcut directly to the game. Open the preferences to the shortcut and add '-window' in the destination line.

I have XP, and when I created the shortcut, there are target and start in lines. The target lines looks like the destination line, but -window or anything else is rejected. Does it go inside or outside of the quotation marks? Or am I, as I often do, overlooking the obvious?

TIA.

You need to put the '-window' outside the quotation marks in the destination line.

Well since the game res is fixed, if they'd have set it to 1280X1024 anyone with an older computer, like a laptop that didn't do 1280X1024 would be screwed. Now why the developers didn't code the GUI widgets using relative dimensions rather than hard-coded ones, I'll never know.....

I added at the end 'with the ability to switch'.
I was thinking more along the lines of UV, where you at least had two choices. [8|]

Guys,

You don't appear to have answered the second part of VI66's question. The registration function does not appear to work. I get the same results he did. Are there any patches out yet? If so, can we get them without registering?

OBTW, Great game.

Thanks,
Doug

[ZOOMIE1980]

Yea, me too. Hasn't worked for me yet. I figure I'd give it a day or two to clear up.

[VI66_slith]

The answer to that one I think is in the support section. They will announce when its up.

[BoerWar]

Roger that. Time to go kill some Allied scum then.

Thanks,
Doug

myros, can you explain how to change the font in the game? I didn't know you could do that.

Thanks.

Sorry was tired whe nI wrote the post and didnt say what I actualy did

Here's the font I modded for ingame use:

http://www.neuralstudios.com/work/newone.ttf

Right click and save as.

Ok here's the processes:

1. Open your main windows directory and go to the fonts folder.
2. Make a copy of the "times new roman" font and save it somewhere - this font isnt used much anymore but best to save a copy for reverting it back when you want to, or if you dont like the serif one.
3. Copy the font I uploaded into the windows/font folder - your done.

Cheers,
Myros

Thanks, that worked.

Thanks, myros. Your font fix works great! Between that and using the -window argument, I now have a non-blurry game screen. Hopefully I won't get anymore headaches.
