DESIGN: CtP2 Source Code released - our actions [brainstorm & discussion]

[Locutus]

Windowed mode? Sure, we can do that. Most likely all we have to do is completely rebuild the game from scratch...

[J Bytheway]

A windowed mode should be doable. I don't know enough about that kind of thing to know how easy, and it likely depends greatly on how the display code works at persent.

[Maquiladora]

I take it a windowed mode is too much work or just plain out of the question?

Hot? It's been averaging 12 degrees (that's celcius of course) for the last 2 months.

[Solver]

Yup, 40 degrees in Spain and Italy I hear, gee.

Good to see you're preparing for our big adventure .

[Peter Triggs]

Well, I've been trying to get to grips with C++.

But it's extra difficult when you're sitting in puddles of sweat. Jeez, it's hot around here lately.

[Solver]

Gee, lemurs, where are you? Are all the ideas gone, everyone fainted, or what?

[The Big Mc]

dont you mean micro$oft

[Dale]

The problem with XP is that Microsuck wrote it!

If you have the source code you can modify the programm as you want, as long as you have enough time and knows how to do it or there are enough people who do it for your. The real problem is that we don't know what the problems are with XP and therefore it is not easy to find them.

[Maquiladora]

Is there a way to add a windowed option for the game? That would be one of the best additions i can think of.

Most who posted here aren't C++ programmers anyway.

[The Big Mc]

it will give us the chance to talk with none c++ programmers and find out what there needs are

[J Bytheway]

Big Mc - your last post makes absolutely no sense to me beyond the "I meant go a head make one". What are you trying to say?
