Mods & Development / Re: Narration during mission briefing/Slow down the text scroll?

« on: February 17, 2016, 02:43:22 PM »

The main issue with the DOS version is screen tearing. Very annoying! Horizontal lines all over the place. DosBox doesn't have a vsync feature, I don't know why there isn't more of a demand for one. Also, the music in the DOS version is all lower quality midi. The "nostalgic" Warcraft 2 Battle.NET Edition available here has the high quality music and no screen tearing. But alas, the pre-mission narration is missing, and the mission descriptions scroll too fast to read. I just want to be able to experience the story while I play . I'd go out and find an original Warcraft II Battle.NET Edition CD, but I'm not even sure that would fix the problem.

Mods & Development / Narration during mission briefing/Slow down the text scroll?

« on: February 17, 2016, 07:23:47 AM »

I have the DOS version of Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. Before each mission, the mission description is read aloud, and the text scrolls slowly enough to be read. Now, the Battle.NET version of WC2 available here runs much better than my old DOS version in every way, except for the fact that the mission briefings ZOOM by! I can't even read them, they go by too fast! And, of course, there's no narration.

Is there any sort of mod/fix for this? Any way to slow the text scroll and add the narration back in?
