Nice, good to see your supporting more of the C&C games.

I know this isn't a requesting topic but would it be hard to let users choose a resolution for TD? And possibly remove those black lines that go across the videos in the 95 versions.

[Mig Eater]

The black lines are part of the old video system & are common with such old games. Your just gona have to live with it unless VK feels like completely changing the video system to bink etc.

Oh my god.. it actually runs without compatibility mode :o

Pretty clever how you squeezed some code into blank space in the exe file, lol

btw, will this do anything to prevent those random crashes? Or does the patch simply disable advanced text services too?

Also... can we expect an updated German and French version too? I got the source exe files, if you want em. And I'm very sure German C&C95 players are very interested in this.


@OmegaBolt: The C&C1 interface isn't like the TS one. It can't adapt to different resolutions. So unless you'd like seeing something like THIS, don't bother.
Not to mention C&C95 is REALLY bad at handling maps that are smaller than its display reslution. And C&C maps aren't very big. (max. 62x62 cells, and one cell is 24x24 pixels. Maximum: 1488x1488)


@Mig Eater: That's not really plausible... I mean, the videos ARE in VQA format, after all. He can't change that with a simple patch.

The black lines are simply there because the original videos are the same ones from the DOS version, and they're only 320x200. In C&C95, they're only streched horizontally, and in vertical direction, the black lines are added.

Advance Text Services never fix border-crash problem.
I am sure, you can turn it on.
My fix now check cell coordinate with map size in cells.
so if you view go out of map, it not try to modify non-existing cell.

no :( try a 10x10 map in YR

So unless you'd like seeing something like THIS, don't bother.

I will say that this screenshot is fake just MS Paint I think

[Nyerguds]

Of course it is fake. I was just proving a point. I can't do stuff like that in C&C95.

(Paint Shop Pro and XCC Editor, in case you're wondering )

Well actually it would be better than nothing imo...

See my second note on high resolutions in C&C1 <_<

[VK]

1.05 keeps on telling me that I have modified files in the directory - which I haven't.
It's an installation from TFD and there are just some savegames. in the directory. Any advice?
Do I have to do a clean install from scratch?

you must have correct C&C95.EXE file only.
It must be 1.04 version.
Check it.

[Commander]

I love the old C&C games!

I couldn't believe that EA was unable to make a patch to play them on LAN.
Thx for your work!!!

Could you make a patch for Red Alert 1 too, pleeeeeeeeeeeeese?

[Nyerguds]

Can't VK just make a German version? :-\

As I said, I'm willing to provide the exe files of the French and German versions.

ha-ha...just possible I need recode all again.
yes, I will make it, but later.

In a quick update, this topic is being moved to the crap forum, because VK is not crediting the authors of dll, neither the source of it anymore. So, it is not worth the news anymore, as ripping is not supported here either.

VK you are a bad man.

Get this from PPM now.

hey, before offending me, learn to read.
I already write on PPM:
Problem already solved.

Download my update again and check it.
