CCHyper Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hey guys!Im considering making a high resolution patch for Dune2K :PFrom what i know, Dune2K was the base engine / first engine in the Westwood library. I have extensive databases on C&C, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun etc. so i know quite a bit about out the games followed suit.Only problem is, i lack Dune2k lol.Once i get a copy, i will begin to create a database on the game as see if its possible. Would you guys want this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Knight Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hell, I'd love it. One of the main reasons I haven't yet played Dune 2000 is that the resolution is crappy. If you could get it to run in a higher resolution (with the corresponding higher definition graphics you mention) then I'd definitely be interested.

CCHyper Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 I cant change the graphics, they stay the same, but the game would be able to run at a higher resolution, thus being able to see more on the Tactical View and making the sidebar longer.Im working on similar projects for the C&C games: Red Alert, C&C and Sole Survivor.EDIT: I just noticed the game patches dont check for registry entry's, i have a copy of the latest EXE, gonna take a butchers at the code :)EDIT2: Its nice that the game holds strings that name most classes :P, so i should have no trouble getting it to run in high resolution, only thing i worry about it the sidebar, might be like C&C95...

D2k Sardaukar Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Sounds very interesting, keep us updated. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Shane Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 There would be really no point to make a sole survivor high res patch but I'd defiantly like a red alert, dune 2000 one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCHyper Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 @Thumper: I will :)@Sandy Shane: There is a point, some people still play it.EDIT: Interesting, it seems that Dune2k works like Sole Survivor. It dont have a variable table for drawing objects, not like Red Alert and C&C95...Also, Dune2k has the option to run the game in a desktop window ;D~ Why cant i upload attachments?

ajax Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I would be VERY interested in this patch! :-) Please definitely post to this forum if you can make it happen.ThanksAJAX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munja Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 C&C95 has already patched to run on resolution such as 1024x768 and it looks great! We wan't and for Dune 2000! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2k Sardaukar Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Any updates or images you can show? Or perhaps if you need help, you can ask some people on this forum, they know a lot about the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCHyper Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hmm, well, lets just say life is busy at the moment :PI have been doing a few things here and there, mapped out most of the AIClass and some other misc functions like movie playing. But resolution wise, i have not yet, as soon as i do, ill post info up :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennerst3 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Any updates on the high res patch? I'd love to see some pics if any available as yet..I'm still having problems with split screen on XP (which I gather is because my graphics card is not compatible, but I can't afford atm to by another 1. I haves g-force 5500) Maybe then with the patch it might work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCHyper Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Err, hmm, i could get some screenshots, but there is not much visual progress. Mostly code wise.Problem i am having is that the game seems to clip at 640x400, just like RA does, so making the patch work is not like how it was done in TD...Did i also mention i found a bool for running the game in a window? I could screenshot that when i have some free time from work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raminator Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 if remember correctly the game should have gotten an option to switch between 640x480 and 800x600and if i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCHyper Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Saying that, i have noticed a few hidden bools lying around, ill take a look when i can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munja Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I think that Dune2000 has only 640x400 resolution or 640x480, such as Red Alert and Tiberian Danwn Gold. Is it possible to change the resolution to 1024x768? This happened to Tiberian Dawn and will happen soon to Red Alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raminator Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 the game does not support 800x600...but it was planed to make the game support 800x600i don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2k Sardaukar Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Any luck on the hidden bools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCHyper Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Urg, sorry, i have been very busy...Ill try to post some updates by the end of the week :)EDIT: Some info, dunno if everyone knows the command line parameters for the game. I have not tested these yet.-M disables movies-S disables audio-N skips the intro movie *or* puts the game in network mode-8 forces 8bit graphic-6 is *unknown*, graphics related-F disables the video back buffer-G forces the game to 640x480EDIT2: if anyone here are experience with hacking or such...There is a bool here, "gFullScreen" - 004EB008 (raw: E9808), change this to "00" and the game will run in a desktop window, the logic is messy though...
