XTF Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 it is part of windows 7 only XP users need to install it manually Turns out I uninstalled .net Can't believe apps fail in such a bad way, why can't they popup a nice error message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTF Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 i guess anything above 1280x720 should be fine IMO you should support lower resolutions. they are above by default, but would be below all other windows if the user turned "always on top" on for other windows in the settings. It was just added to ensure nothing jumps on top of the settings window while you are changing your settings. Only the dialogs which are meant to be open for a short time show on top like this I think that's annoying and wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think windows 8 can show messages in such cases, but every other windows fails i guess anything above 1280x720 should be fine IMO you should support lower resolutions. they are above by default, but would be below all other windows if the user turned "always on top" on for other windows in the settings.

Only the dialogs which are meant to be open for a short time show on top like this I think that's annoying and wrong. i can prolly support 1280x720 with dpi scaling since its mainly a height problem with that resolution and squeezing the height is still possible, but width problems are not so easy to fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's preventing you from lowering the minimal horizontal resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The game itself got problems with dpi scaling too, so it wasnt that important for me to fix the client since its the best option to turn off dpi scaling to be able to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTF Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Can't you just disable display scaling on the exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 no, its impossible to disable it completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fir3w0rx Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Is each game supposed to have it's own separate installations of Mumble? Because I went into the CnCNet5 lobby then clicked 'Voice-Chat' after loading up Dune 2K and RA1, and both times Mumble was downloaded and installed. Also, how do I update the Mumble that's installed for each game? I downloaded the update from the link given by Mumble (SourceForge) and I can only either update ONE of the installations (RA1 or Dune 2K) or create a-whole-nother Mumble installation in another folder. *EDIT: I updated my Mumble that was installed in C:\Games\RedAlert1_Online\CnCNet5\Mumble, then I just copy-pasted all the files into C:\Games\Dune 2K (GruntMods)\Dune 2000\CnCNet5\Mumble. It seems to have updated both and are working fine as I can hear 2 people playing and talking about 'tanking up' and stuff . Is what I did ok or am I going to encounter errors later on?

FunkyFr3sh Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 it will always use the files from the folder you used to start the game, start your main folder (probably the old one you are using to play for longer time), then go to settings, game settings and link your Dune2000 folder to it, that way cncnet allows you to play both games without restaring and it wont download the files to the dune2000 folder again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyerguds Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Can't you just disable display scaling on the exe? As far as I know, display scaling is generally a graphics driver or even monitor property... unrelated to the game. The only thing we can do is offer the cnc-ddraw scaling options to compensate.

XTF Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Are the installers without admin privileges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The C&C95 v1.06 installer I made is a run-off-the-mill all-users application install, so it needs admin privileges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTF Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 One that doesn't require admin privs would be handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I prefer having apps that are manageable through Windows' own install/uninstall system. Non-admin installs inevitably means there are no uninstall entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 playing an online game without having the needed rights to allow it in the firewall is not a good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTF Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Most games don't have any problems with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have an installer that works without admin rights too, it comes with singleplayer http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
