They are making their game, not our game.

I can disable 16 bits, but resolutions are named ones, and 1 resolution is only 1 time in file.
RGV1, what's your maximum possible resolution on computer?

1280x1024 = Goober's resolution, and I can leave it without changing.

As I said before there is NO WAY to add more resolutions. I can't rebuild all game, I'm not able to.
I tried many times.
The best solution would be to keep 2 versions of EE2 - for 4:3 monitors, and for 16:9 (maybe another one for 16:10).
But then we wouldn't connect in game... So it would be same problem like it was between random versions of EE2 1.2 (cd, dvd, cracked). Of course it's possible just to disable CRC checking, but I have no idea which file do it. Also EE2 doesn't check CRC32, I tried to do files with same hash, and it still didn't work...

EDIT:
I decrypted HEX values in EE2.exe file, so I'll show you how it is:
Orginal:

Code: Select all

65 70 20 25 64 0A 00 00 20 03 00 00 00 04 00 00 80 04 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 05 00 00 40 06 00 00 58 02 00 00 00 03 00 00 60 03 00 00 C0 03 00 00 00 04 00 00 B0 04 00 00 20 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF 44 58 54 31 44 58 54 33 44 58 54 35

Decrypted:

Code: Select all

65 70 20 25 64 0A 00 00 [800] 00 00 [1024] 00 00 [1152] 00 00 [1280] 00 00 [1280] 00 00 [1600] 00 00 [600] 00 00 [768] 00 00 [864] 00 00 [960] 00 00 [1024] 00 00 [1200] 00 00 [32] 00 00 [16] 00 00 FF FF FF FF 44 58 54 31 44 58 54 33 44 58 54 35

1 resolution (width or height) has 2 hex values (00 00) and it's in [FRAME]

Code: Select all

00 05 = 1280
C0 03 = 960
20 03 = 800
40 06 = 1600
84 03 = 900
80 07 = 1920
38 04 = 1080
80 04 = 1152
60 03 = 864
00 04 = 1024
00 03 = 768
20 03 = 800
58 02 = 600
90 06 = 1680
40 06 = 1600
B0 04 = 1200
1A 04 = 1050
20 00 = 32
10 00 = 16
50 05 = 1360
00 03 = 768

So as you guys see, I can't do anything with it.

I used 16-bit color depth whewn I had my old computer with Atlon 3000+ and Nvidia 7300 x)

[derrick]

i use only 800*600 in my all game the game play is better and not laggy (i have good computer, i use always 8*6)
i played 16 bits i went to 32 bits after.

Custom backgrounds , if you want one custom to you just give me the video

[RGV1]

My maximum resolution 1280x1024.

"The best solution would be to keep two versions of EE2 - for 4:3 monitors, and for 16:9 (maybe another one for 16:10)."
I think you need to do one version of the patch.
We can not allow the new "random versions of EE2 1.2 (cd, dvd, cracked)"

Leader
Maybe do a poll on the forum: "What screen resolution do you use?" After reviewing the answers to the question - choose the most popular screen resolutions.

Gooberman
I love your backgrounds. It's very beautiful. I support this background.
Can I use your backgrounds in mod EE4?

[Gooberman]

sure , it's like 74 MB atm, but i'll try to compress it

meh only could compress 6 MB

RGV1, I'm asking players about theirs resolutions and saving it in TXT, so I'll know.
Do you maybe know where are saved "Multiplayer" files in EE2 folder? I mean to edit something with multiplayer? I would just disable .exe checking, then I can create 3 different files, and they be able to connect together. It should be something about MD5, CRC or I don't know. I tried in EE2.exe but I didn't find

Btw. I think this video would be better as background:

It's more beautifull, just have to cut a little, so it be without description
