Force change resolution
« on: November 13, 2016, 09:47:51 PM »
Does anyone know how to change Warcraft 2 resolution? The game by default is 640x480. Does anyone know how to hack the game or change the settings, so that it runs in custom resolution, 1024x768 for example.

Window mode will allow you to make the window res your setting but actual war2 no.

I have seen someone on YouTube do it but it seems like more of a cheat because the user can see so much more.

Wow can we get the code of that utility???

Perhaps we can improve it to make it playable at a higher resolution (Well it appears it works only at 1280x960. But that would be a great upgrade for war2!

You can search for 640 480 in a hex editor or whatever it is. I think you need to multiply by 2 or something like that.


IL knows this person or is the author. I saw some screenshots buried in the server somewhere.

I've tried 1024x768 on the HEX editor, don't work bit though, still shows up as 640x480.

yeah idk how they got it....take for example a .cfg file will be text..tribes ascend i use to play with e-300 amd way below the req's at 640..and the examples i seen u'd jut open on txt file no use to change with a hex.


there is a way* dosbox with limited 98..it would be compatable as long as dosbox is and has all scales..just getting that bitch networked they all disappered.
 they may have just been using dosbox bne i got it...good luck bridging and finding the ne2000 drivers
