Much as I love those awesome moments in the FMV games (St Helens vs Vesuvius :D) I think the best balance is WC2, great gameplay, fantastic storyline and a great WC1 feel while being it's own game. I've never much liked the "floppy" feel of prophecy's game engine and the feel of the victory...

Hehe, I know Chris, As Wedge says it was just to get the file below 100kb so i could upload it as a txt, although I since realised that that 100kb limit only applies to txt files :) This is the first time I've ever found dual compression to be better, but it is definitely a 1990's technique ;)

Just for ease it's probably easier to use a 2nd drive. There's certainly no reason to remove the sd card readers as XP won't pick them up in the boot-installer. Then use, as Michelle suggests, easyBCD to set up the boot menu, don't just edit the boot.ini in xp as it can cause issues. It's...

hcl's high-res patch is on his newer site: http://hcl.solsector.net/ academy is a fun romp, and as Dundradal says, the manual is cracking. kilrathi saga will have serious problems in win7 64 bit, so check out the ddhack that Sol_hsa made: http://sol.gfxile.net/ddhack/ that should fix up...

super-bump :P Did you ever get round to posting things Chris? (sorry for asking!)

looks interesting! thanks for posting, now to dust off the VC++ and see if i can compile in windoze :P

I'm not sure, I never really used it, but I think it may have been mission 1 - HCL is obviously the guy to ask!

apparently not! seems it was too big - so here's a "txt" which is actually a rar (rename) which contains a zip (and since I know Chris Reid has complained about this in times of yore, it made it smaller than either compression alone!)

Try this, rename the txt to zip :)

if you have no luck I may have a copy saved somewhere

So there's no easy fudge to change that? Other than installing a glide wrapper obviously. What about getting the missions to run in the other demo?

So is this an OpenGL version of just the wcpdemo or both wcpdemo and wcp 3dfx test? (Just curious!)

Ah but, chris, if you have the cycles set to greater than 7000 then the speed test at the start of the wc3demo crashes you out.

no-one is going to be upset by you posting the .conf :D basically, if you're using 90k cycles, you might want to change to cycles=max (since you are essentially doing that! I always find it wierd when people give cycles numbers as in my experience, no two systems respond the same way at...

Hmm, maybe he's talking about some sort of rat?

I usually use: core=dynamic cputype=auto cycles=auto basically that way the cpu scales up when more load is taken - however, truth be told, wc1 was just like that, having a dynamically scaling cpu merely tries to compensate! (you can use the change cycles buttons in game to get a...

Hmm, I'd agree with all these but suspect the last one is "caprats" - god only knows what that means though!

I've got 5 hours on a train to endure today, so will take a listen!

hmm, make sure you have ems set to false, and then just ignore that error (there should be a "continue anyway" option) - I think armada's memory manager (JEMM) see's things a little differently to other games ;) If that still doesn't work, post your config file up :) (alternatively, run...

I believe (may be wrong) that the save files are the same.
