Retro playing

Hello

I've just installed hoi2 vanilla (1.3b patch, JLQC) and I'm wondering how I can find out the Hexa numbers for the 1600 x 900 resolution. Lord Ederons tool only cover 1.3 version of Hoi2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated


regards

asgeir
 
Works well for that part that it doesn't crash but when I select group of units it always zooms one level more away. Any ideas? Same problem with windowed and 1280x1024 resolution..
 
Increasing HOI2 Arma 1.3B resolution to 1280 x 1024 !

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Now that Armageddon 1.3 BETA 2 is out, here is the resolution hack. I've only tested 3 resolutions but it should be evident what the values are for any other desired resolution:
Paste this onto the bottom of the settings.csv file:

NOTES: with the above cracks you need loading screens correctly resized and named (respectively)
load_1280.bmp
load_1440.bmp
load_1600.bmp

As before 1680 x 1050 results in CTD when the mouse is scrolled to the bottom so this is not recommended.

HI,

Where exactly is the "settings.csv" file... i have tried searching for it in all the HOI2 Arma folders and i carnt find it anywhere ?

I'm assuming, should i find it i just paste
"L;7;Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday Armageddon (1.3-BETA-2) 1280x1024 Resolution Hack;by nomonhan
2dff4c;4;5;
2dff56;3;4;
3aa4a6;30;32;
3aa4a7;32;38;
3aa4a8;34;30; " at the bottom of it and save ?

Is that all i need to do... apart from rescaling & re-naming "load_1280.bmp " screen bmp (found in Armageddon/gfx/ ?)

Although i already have a DELL 27" Widescreen (1920 x 1200) LCD monitor, i have just bought myself a DELL SP1908FP 19" Ultrasharp TFT (1280 x 1024) @ 4:3 aspect. So i can now play a lot of my older games that wont "upscale" properly on a good sized screen. Check out Ebay, there are some good bargains to be had on the older 4:3 aspect monitors... and a 19" isnt too small to play on.

Any advice on the .csv file above would appreciated.

:rolleyes:
 
Bumping this useful thread.

I have DDA installed and patched to 1.3 beta 2. When I applied Nomonhan's settings to allow the 1280x1024 resolution hack, everything went well. It even patched the exe file correctly, without errors. But when I start the game, it's still the 1280x1024 (both the old and the .exe the program creates causes this). What am I doing wrong?
 
With the cracks, the original load screen for the game is ALWAYS the 1024 x 768 screen. The 1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1024, etc screen is ONLY loaded when you select your scenario, hit start, and are waiting for your scenario to load. I haven't tested anything above 1600 x 1024, because I can't. (1680 x 1050 crashes). Try the 1920, etc modes and report back on your findings.
 
Hi,

I've downloaded the program, and changed the settings.csv file accordingly. I'm attempting to run Arma 1.3 BETA 2 and have the option to do so because the settings have been changed.

HOWEVER

When attempting to open the file the program creates, I prompted with

"--- excel file not found"

???

Help please!

If you mean that running hoi2.exe gives that error you almost certainly are either trying to run the patch without the actual game or running the Armageddon expansion without Doomsday. Basically hoi2.exe can't find one of the .csv files that it requires to run.
