Well, thats looking awesome and all but... where is the minimap for navigating?


I was wondering about that too.

I'd give up the minimap for widescreen support if I had to choose.

Will there will be support for multiple monitors????



Don't think so, but you can certainly try it out spanning across both monitors and various resolutions.

My screenshots were taken early on. If you look at the ones Joe posted in his AAR, it is there.

I have been holding off on buying a new montitor at home for years largely because I didn't want to deal with scaling and skewing of my WITP (and AE) game.

THIS PATCH MUST BE RELEASED NOW! I'LL PAY $$$$$!!!!!!!

It takes a long time to get even AI v AI games out to 44 but I would rather not release a patch without proper testing !!!

Hate to bombard you with these types of questions, but will 1280 x 800 be an option?

Status: offline 		To use high res I set up two new cmd line switches –pxnnnn and –pynnnn (ex. On my machine for full screen I use –px1920 –py1200 and for windowed I use –px1680 –py1050 so that the window is within desktop).
Px must be greater than 1024 AND py must be greater than 768 to use new code otherwise we use the old code setup,
I know there are some lap tops with wide res but with low height(<=768) so they will continue to use old code.
There is one small caveat when playing small map scenarios, if your res is greater than size of map then selecting bases
is a bit of problem because the code tries to reset view based on selection so your options are make either
map sz extents bigger (ie more margin around bases close to edge) or reduce your res.
I noticed this when trying to play Coral Sea.
Spanning mode is not supported and user should ensure that both the video adapter and monitor support the px and py values.

Status: offline 		Hello World! I have had the pleasure of a little down time and I went to revisit the latest patch for this great game in the hopes of getting my Hanns-G HG281D monitor to show WItp in glorious wide screen. The problem is it appears to be defaulting to the old resolution, even with the Quick start -f -px1920- py1200. I tried resizing the window mode as well and that doesn't work either. Can one of you fine gents clue me in? there must be something I'm doing off on the Target label. The funny thing is on my widescreen lappy the screen is cropped on the edges to give the proper rez albeit minus the wide screen, but on my desktop the game is stretched to the edges, stretched is the operative word here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Status: offline 		Whoops answered my own question, Got my monitor's Rez settings typed in wrong, they were 1920x1200 rather than 1900x1200. Hope that helps someone who overlooks the obvious, like me. Looks NICE now!
