Server.War2.ru / Re: Should we make 700g/100w paladins default in war2?

« on: September 12, 2019, 12:29:40 PM »

Did you exactly do

700g/50w for knight

Yes,

Garden of War 700-50.zip - for knight only 700/50

Garden of War 700-100.zip - for paladin only 700/100

others not changed 800/100 - default value, lol

Available, did you somehow get around the use map settings fixed

No, I think exe modification is needed here.

U STUPID, SON?

NO, DAUGHTER.
It looks like you need to learn how to read all the messages, not just the latest ones.

Why not to test playability using UMS, without straight asking for exe modding?

700g/50w for knight

OK,
http://forum.war2.ru/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5315.0;attach=3342
but I don't understand the meaning of it

Why need to make humans OP in tier2?

"AntiAliasedFonts=Yes", you can enable it if you prefer the look of it.

Oh, lol, quick response
I personally prefer real fonts w/o additional processing, but some people (Vity, Ragner, etc...) will happy to use this option.

No need to have multiple ddraws just for that

Still need some option to restrict switching to fullscreen and back,
to block accidental mode switching when someone prefer to play all the time windowed OR all the time fullscreen.
something like:
"AllowModeSwitching=Yes/No" or "IgnoreAltEnter=Yes/No"




...
1.6.3 same bug as previous test:
when finally switches to desktop (by "windows" key or some another hotkey)
and clicked on _another program icon_ in taskbar, somehow that switching back to war2, not to clicked program.
but i clearly NOT clicked on "war2 button" in taskbar.


Why need to use test4 behavior for Alt-Tab?
1.6.2 version was better in this part.

you would have the same issues with these two

Yes, almost same issues here.
Also another issue:
when finally switches to desktop (by "windows" key or some another hotkey)
and clicked on another program icon in taskbar, somehow was switched back to war2,
but i'm clearly NOT clicked on "war2 button" in taskbar.


Idk, maybe allowing Alt+BackSpace feature in fullscreen can be better for some "switching"?


Anyway Switching by Alt+Enter works fine for all versions.

As for me, nothing to do with Alt+Tab:
I start war2 in windowed mode,
make some preparations with replays, if necessary,
join the game, then press Alt+Enter and just play without switchings.


-------
For those who hates windowed mode,
probably better solution is pure "test2" version:
ftp://ftp.war2.ru/war2/ddraw4/ddraw.dll

There no window mode at all, but have one good thing:
it is "transparent" for system text antialiasing - as a result text can be smooth in BNE chat.

I asked iL for more options, but he against older, but still useful versions of ddraw for some reason.

Hmm... strange.

Tried again, looks like win7 just  set war2 to "last position" in Alt_Tab order... damned win7 "don't like" war2 window 


But in that case only thing i need to restore war2, is press Tab so many times how much apps opened for return to fullscreen war2


but nothing like this:
"...you are unable to go back unless you click around blindly..."



UPD:

tried new version

Ha-ha, now i'm stuck @ war2,
alt-tab effect: just blackscreen then returning to war2

when switches finally (by 'windows' key) war2 same last in tab order


up2:
sometimes switching is ok...

new problem:
that maybe switchnig too fast

and web browser set his size to 640 - not so funny.

A problem I noticed with the "GDI"

I just tested that on win7 (different comps 1920x1080, 1680x1050, 1366,768 displays)
none of them had problems with GDI + Fullscreen mode.

"war2_ddraw.ini" file:
[ddraw]
Windowed=No
MaintainAspectRatio=Yes
AlwaysOnTop=No
ShowWindowFrame=Yes
Width=640
Height=480
PosX=0
PosY=0


Are you tried Alt+Enter to switch modes to fullscreen and back?

When you press Alt+Enter then exit war2 'war2_ddraw.ini' settings rewrites to last mode that you used,
so parameter "Windowed=" must switch "No" and "Yes" corresponding when you exiting from fullscreen or windowed mode.

Maybe you are using some strange hardware/software combo, that *king up fullscreen, stealing window focus or so on,
then let we know please, to try same type hardware at least.


ps: I hope that hardware/software combo not a imac+win7 :]

Server.War2.ru / Re: Which is more of a hack 2?

« on: September 05, 2019, 07:59:57 AM »

What a storm in a teacup.

I thought almost same ("what a *hack") until i tested it.

In the form as it is implemented for now, they do not give a big advantage, but much more newbie-friendly:
it works with a decent delay,
an experienced player will still make things faster.

I'm agree with Cel, good thing is to know who use mod.



What is really impermissible is to add HP-bars.

Save your strength to fight against HP-bars, which can REALLY ruin the game.

Also note this is a 48kHz version, most fit for modern audiocards.

But anyone can do 44(if really need) with own old CD version + some work to split tracks 2 and 10 for BNE compatibility.

Some thoughts about Timer plugin.

What about to get rid of 'seconds' and use game Ticks instead?

Of course keeping screen updates same every real second or so on, but display value='game Ticks', not time seconds.
That have much more sense:

1. Then we can straight and clearly compare 'timings' on different speeds - must be same for game Ticks, not depending on useless 'real time seconds'.

2. That may solve "on pause mode" problem, that must not be counted on game timer.


ps: whoever need to check 'real seconds' for some reason, can use warvideo already.
or just set up real timer nearby

Hi, it's lesnik.

Oh, iL, as usual. You need learn to read carefully.
>"That depends on ddraw on his hardware"

No, that works on standard good GDI visualiser from fois, which installed by default.

Almost all the screen refreshing ok, except some edges,
so i prefer to use that yellow mod with normal GDI ddraw.
