Laptop Setup Question - 4/13/2013 1:11:13 PM

Status: offline 		I have a new MacBook Pro and I'm trying to figure out how to set up WitP for it, specifically the codes you add to modify it. I'm running Parallels so Windows 7 shows up as a window. I suspect it needs to have the wide screen code but I'm not sure what else. Can anyone help? (It's obvious I have no clue what I'm talking about. )

But I assume that since you're running in Parallels, it must be kinda Win 7'ish, no?

Status: offline 		It is Windows 7. The HD is partitioned so there's a Mac side and a PC side. Here is what I found:

Supported resolutions: 1280 by 800 (native), 1152 by 720, 1024 by 640, and 800 by 500 pixels at 16:10 aspect ratio; 1024 by 768, 800 by 600, and 640 by 480 pixels at 4:3 aspect ratio; 1024 by 768, 800 by 600, and 640 by 480 pixels at 4:3 aspect ratio stretched; 720 by 480 pixels at 3:2 aspect ratio; 720 by 480 pixels at 3:2 aspect ratio stretched

Hmm, still has about an inch of black on left and right.

Hmm. So how did you get the list of supported resolutions that you posted above? I just fired up my Win8 laptop to make sure I said it right. When at the desktop, right-click on an open area of the desktop. Select 'Screen Resolution'.

Here are the switches I am using on my Win8 laptop. Note that I am using the full resolution in the switch:

"C:\Matrix Games\WITP AE - PBM #1\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -altFont -archive -wd -deepColor -px1366 -py768 -fixedArt -noFire -SingleCpuOrders -cpu3

Status: offline 		Many of the screens like the start up screens are hard set to 1024X768. If you have more screen real estate, you will have black borders. The map is much larger than any screen, so having your resolution set to more than 1024X768 will show you more map.
