Yeah that could be true


I updated the plugin, you can play around with the new "SmoothScroll.ini" settings file if you want

imagine changing the chess board in 2023.

thats HD for war2.

HD does not destroy the essence of the game.  It enhances the gameplay and gives you a better gaming experience.  But I understand some people want to be stuck in the past and refuse to embrace change.

I also think HD is a massive advantage. Most my jokes about it, including "hacker/cheater" are in lighthearted spirit. I say these things about anyone who uses HD  (not just to you), but its mostly just cuz I cant seem to DL it for myself - my PC blocks that version of WC2.

Can anyone create a video tutorial (for tech newbies like swift and others) on how to download and install the HD patch, including how to overcome possible glitches during installation?

We are living in the 21st century where 4k is becoming the norm, so why do players still resign to using SD when HD makes the game so much better!?

Using excuses like "I don't know how to install HD patch" is just a pathetic excuse for anyone living in this time and age imo...

I think an .ini would be ideal, there is room for improvement on the defaults.

Seems the lower settings are calculated/multiplied off one MAX value? which is why they cause judder effect.

Let's assume the engine runs in 60fps.

Possible values are

1ms (60/60)
2ms (60/30)
3ms (60/20)
4ms (60/15)
5ms (60/12)
6ms (60/10)
10ms (60/6)
12ms (60/5)
15ms (60/4)
20ms (60/3)
30ms (60/2)

It should be the same scroll speed as before, I could make it possible to tweak the values via an .ini file if needed though.

By default it would scroll over 2 cells every 20ms, with the plugin it scrolls 1 cell every 10ms.



If you know how to compile the plugin then you could tweak the 0x0A (= 10ms) here:

Great improvement and great work :chuckisthemuscle:

Scrolling is now imperceptibly smooth at max scroll speed, but it is a little too fast, so I choose one notch down.

Is there a way to tweak the rates any further? assuming all the seven are hard coded in finite range.

If that is the case the sweet spot probably lies between current 6-7.

@BJayLandmaker @Héraès

It's not supposed to work on the GOG server, they do perform a version check on connect and the widescreen patch doesn't pass it. That's why there was no reason to list the GOG gateway since you couldn't connect to it anyways. Some tests were done to trick the version check on the GOG server and it seems to be working, but I don't have any plans right now to include this hack in my patch (I didn't even test this on my own, don't have the GOG version).
