I don't know what you just said but best of luck with it. biggrin

I will have to keep my eye out for another copy if things do progress.


Oh just mumbojumbo of someone who has spent all day dealing with the quirkiness of c++. I'm simply trying to design a small EXE to allow everyone to modify the resolution faster. But with intentions of expanding that little executable further with a few more tweaks.

But let me put it in this way, c++ is one confusing language!

Small update:

It's proving harder than I originally thought. But I'll keep at it and see if I can squeeze anything else.
I don't know or remember seeing these flags anywhere on the web that you can run on your executable(create shortcut). But here it is. Not that they are useful though, it doesn't like to be launched as a window.

"USE16" //force use of 16 bit textures
"NOMEM" //ignore video RAM test results
"NOINTRO" // no intro... but that option is already available on BDG settings
"introsmk=1" //ignore video RAM test results (No clue if the cmd is this one, since it was the only one who lacked extra instructions
"WINDOWED" // no need to explain, but the game doesn't run well in here
"HOST" // lobby host
"GUEST" // lobby guest

I kept my old XP computer just so I could fly classic sims like EAW, RB3D and MiG Alley. After reading the above think I'll try installing it on my Win7 64 bit i5-2400 system.
