If we start changing everything we can, to fix it and "fix" it, we may pass the line somewhere. Sometimes even when some bugs are fixed, it still can produce some other debates, so maybe it`s better to leave the bugs as they are, because that`s what the original author made, just get used to it. It`s always a questionable thing when someone alters original game files, is that good or bad. Was cheating if someone could afford to buy 1280x1028 monitor and play someone on 800圆00?īut I see your point, _Jago_. When the game came out, 800圆00 was a standard, 1024x768 common, and 1280x1024 was luxury - but it was 10 years ago, things changed very much since then.
I sent him an e-mail on that very day, but he still didn`t reply. Re: AoE2Wide (wide screen & higher resolutions, by boekabart If you want to support the past and future development of this patch, please visit where you can find a PayPal donate button. The background and especially the Load/Save dialogs don't look good yet due to the way the images are stretched now.The vertical position of the 'the Conquerers' overlay is incorrect.
The vertical position during recorded game playback seems incorrect.Only expansion pack (The Conquerors) works at the moment.If you name the executables, for example, age2_x1_1.0e.exe and age2_x1_1.0c.exe, the 'suffix' will appear back in the patched-exe and shortcut names. Little note about the support for different versions: If you have multiple versions alongside each other, AoE2Wide will find them all (all supported, that is) and create multiple patched exes, one for each version. Note that it will not overwrite any original files, nor abuse the elevation for something else. UAC: AoE2Wide.exe now requests elevation, and is therefore able to write directly to the game folder.Also, on Vista an win7, this will try to kill explorer.exe before the game, and start it again afterwards, in order to fix the palette issue (which is not a patch issue, by the way). AoE2Wide creates a batch file in the game folder and the desktop that allows you to easily start a widescreen version of the game, without having to check the resolution in the options screen all the time.Fixed vertical position of top-left text.Support for vertical resolutions higher than 1536 (I think unlimited).No support for version without expansion pack (yet). Support for 1.0c and 1.0e executables.Use "AoC1.0c 1280x1024.bat" (or "AoC1.0e 1280x1024.bat") icons that appeared on your desktop for starting the game (note that 1280x1024 will be replaced with the resolution of your monitor). Double click "AoE2Wide" icon that appeared on your desktop.
Installation: Unpack the file, and install "AoE2WideSetup.msi". This patch is obsolete, for the same (and more) functionality please use UserPatch (for compatibility with 1.0c recorded games please check the enhanced 1.0c mode).
