Plugin package

[fois]

Here you can download all my plugins in 1 package (it's easier to update for me like this...)

Extract war2-plugins.zip into your plugin folder and that's it. If you don't have a plugin folder then install WarCombat 46 standard or full.



The following plugins are included:

HardwareCursor Plugin - Can fix the laggy cursor on Windows 8/10
Ignore Plugin - Can permanently ignore players, even after a restart of the game
PlaySound Plugin - Plays a sound of your choice on events (Game Start/Join game)
AutoWarLat Plugin - Enables the WarLat patch automatically on game start (Same as setting the latency to high and then to low manually)
SmoothScroll Plugin - Changes keyboard and mouse scrolling to scroll 1 cell at a time rather than 2 cells (to get a smooth scroll effect)
MMblack Plugin - Changes the mini map color of the black player to any color you like (by default = pink) without changing the units/buildings colors

Yeah, good idea. Updated the first post

Nice work on the plugins. Great stuff here 

Rebuilt your autowarlat thing in ASM and added a fix for that annoying "*\/:><|+^&" message.

Feel free to use this if you want.

 -- edit --

or if you want you can just zero the string and disable the message alltogether

like:

Code: [Select]

  ; patch string table
  mov eax,STRINGTABLE_PTR
  mov eax,[eax]
  add eax,STRING_OFFSET
  mov dword ptr[eax],  0h

of course it only changes the message on the local client, other players not using the plugin will still see "*\/:><|+^&"

Cool idea! Latest combat got the message fixed as well, but maybe it's useful for those that don't want to use the latest version

Hello @fois, I got question about ignore plugin cause sometimes in lobby I can see message from ignored people, any ideas to fix it?

[fois]

@Szwagier

EDIT: I found the problem, it only happened when the message was too long and it displayed the message in multiple lines.

Fixed it now, re-download the plugin from the first post

[Szwagier]

Yes thats possbile I saw only long message, thank you

[fois]

Updated the plugin package with a new "MMblack" plugin that allows you to change the mini map color of the black player to any color you like (by default it's set to pink) - The units/buildings colors will not change using this plugin (they're still black)

[dannyldd]

Thanks for sharing Fois, bud. Always cool to see new content from you.

I've set up 245 and seems like good enough satisfying color on minimap. Thanks again!

[fois]

All plugins have been rebuilt to lower the hardware requirements (they should all work now on a i486 CPU)

MMBlack
- Fixed a bug in the Black2Pink patch detection

HardwareCursor
- fixed hardware cursor auto resize on newer cnc-ddraw versions
- Can now hide the cursor the same way the original game did (e.g. on mission briefing or cutscenes)
- Removed animated cursors

lobby_map [NEW]
Made by lambchops, updated by me and zelya

- Fixed a bug/crash that could disable the map preview image
- Added new .ini setting to set custom coordinates for the map preview image
- Added new .ini setting to set custom colors/palette entries
- Does now detect the HardwareCursor plugin and disables the fake cursor that is drawn on top of the map preview image
