I have SMAX fully installed w/ a no-cd 'fixed' .exe. My desktop shortcut points to axstart.exe, so it gives me the screen to choose ac or ax. I have the game updated to 2.0. When I run the shortcut, it always displays the 'choice screen' in 1024x768. Does anyone know how or if I can edit something to force that screen to display in 800x600? Thanx.

No, but I would really like to know how to get rid of that blasted CD. Nedhttp://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=en -
Here are the URL's. I don't know which work, so I'll post a few. Its a .zip file, unzipped is just a replacement 'terranx.exe' file that you replace w/ the default. Backup the original first.

Re: Axstart in 800x600?
Try this: in the "Alpha Centauri.ini" file, insert the following line: "Video Mode = 800"Originally posted by fluxcapacitor

Thanx Darius. I've used that for a long time. I read that thread, and the consensus seems to be 1024. Prollem is my monitor is a cheap, generic Delta DC-770 POS 17", and when I go above 800x600, the refresh rates are so bad everything becomes blury.
That "video mode" addition of AC.ini I think has been around since the first SMAC revision. Also in the readme, for SMAX 2.0, is that "axstart.exe will now change to a resolution it supports", so obviously that's what's causing the screen to change on me. Anyone know how to override?Remember kids: The higher your post count or the faster your computer, the larger your penis!Comment

I don't understand. Do you mean the game itself is running at 800x600 the way you want it, but just the "choose your world" screen is at 1024x768?"I love justice, I hate iniquity. It is not my pleasure that the lower suffer injustice because of the higher." - Darius I, 550-486 BCComment

You could always bypass the "choose your world" screen by pointing your desktop shortcut to terranx.exe instead of axstart.exe. If you want access to "classic" SMAC, create a second shortcut pointing to terran.exe.
