Update: Fixed a bug with multi monitor setups where the cursor wasn't locked to the primary screen anymore after alt+tab

Note: Make sure you open the config program and select your renderer again, then press ok (Otherwise it won't update the ddraw)

Ohh nvm again , after tabed out it didnt work.

Ok thanks, that actually helped...

I could reproduce the problem: What I needed was 2 monitors + run the game at fullscreen + use GDI renderer + alt+tab at the bnet chat window...


Attached a fixed ddraw.dll below! Code is here: https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/Aqrit-DDraw-Hack

Is there a way to ignore "Doubleclicking" on window header, so let window keep its normal size? Especially because no way to return in previous size. :/

Yeah I will disable it in the next version

Being in game Main menu and clicking "close" on window button resulting absolutely "lost/hang" mouse, hotkeys still working. Current solution: alt+enter then back to previous.

Doesn't happen for me (tested on win 10 and XP)

Here is a test version that supports more sounds and lets you choose if a sound should always play or not.

Filenames: JoinGame.wav, StartGame.wav, LeaveGame.wav, Message.wav, PrivateMessage.wav

Example:
Use "JoinGame.wav" if you want the sound to play no matter if the game window got the focus or not.

Use "JoinGameNoFocus.wav" if you only want the sound to play if the game doesn't have the focus / is minimized (Make sure you don't have "JoinGame.wav" in the folder)

Use "JoinGameFocus.wav" if you only want the sound to play if the game is active and got the focus (Make sure you don't have "JoinGame.wav" in the folder)

Is it possible to hear when someone sends messages in lobby and/or leaving?

here two "soundpacks" that may be useful. (external 'sound' folder works for countdown, etc)

nice!

Yeah I can add that tomorrow.

What's going on with that sound folder? Does that already work or you want me to do something with that one too?

lol, what about copy ddraw.dll from 4.3 to 4.6 folder and have no problems at all?

Holy shit, you're a fucking genius. (OR I AM A MORON).

The main problem is that I can click on the second display when Im inside fullscreen WC2 4.6 and the game will minimize.
So this new ddraw doesn't block my cursor inside the game and let me click outside. The same problem was in 4.4, that's why I stayed on 4.3 (now I've remembered it).

With 4.3 it works very well, I can click only inside the game (1st display).

Anyway, It's not a big problem cuz not all WC2 players have 2 or more displays. And 4.3 was more than good for me.
I'll test some DDRAWs & combinations with 4.6 client.

On the battle.net chat it's normal, your cursor can move outside (this is intentional), but in game while playing this shouldn't happen. So in your case does it also happen in game?

i have multiple problems with my 2 displays and a fullscreen WC2 mode.

Or report the problems so they can be fixed

Update:

StartGame sound is now the same one the game is using (2 beeps instead of 5 though) and only plays if the game is minimized or doesn't have the focus

Yeah I thought about turning it off when the game isn't minimized but then no one would recognize the sound and they don't know it was the game starting sound (in case they are minimized)


Anyways, i attached another sound which is just the one from the game

But the cursor(Orc Hand) must keep drawn OVER the map image, elseway it will be bad and uncomfortable appearance.

Not sure what you mean with that, isn't the cursor always drawn on top of the preview and visible?


New map previews looks really nice btw

The DJ scribble/scratch sound it makes when the game starts is not good. how do i turn it off
how do i fix that

Keep in mind, the idea of this sound is that you can hear when the game is about to start even if the game is minimized, so it's actually kinda useful (not just a random new sound )

But yeah, we could replace it with another sound if someone finds a good one

This is cool, but I don't hear anything when I'm on my desktop and war2 is minimized.  Is it me or is that how the plug in is at this time?

What windows do you have?

Did you try to install war2 combat 46 (it has everything properly set up and works fine)?

And just to make it clear, the game will still turn the sound off when you minimize it, the plugin just plays 2 sounds you can hear when the game is minimized (when someone joined a game or the host started the game)

Thx, for fast reply.
Btw I tried today war2tv and there were also errors. Couldn't scroll to switch channels.
Not sure if it's me or the page. I tried just one browser and didn't refresh.
I was looking for EQ Chanel.

Fixed!

For some reason i can no longer open war2. I had 4.5 and the screen would just be black and shutdown after 5 seconds. So i updated to 4.6 and same thing. Whats up?

So it used to work before with 4.5 and then all of a sudden it stopped working?

Did you maybe enable display scaling or is it set to the default 100? https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/07/scalingwindows10-100764460-orig.jpg

What windows you have?

they shutdown the "kraken" API and you now need to use the "helix" API, had to update a few things recently too...

New one: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5

fois, do you know what to do with that and how to rewrite it?
I absolutely have no idea how twitch works and how to change it's API in our scripts...
Maybe you can assist?

I can have a look into it, send me a message on discord with the code
