CnC-DDraw alpha released! - play C&C95 & RA95 in a window!
« on: November 09, 2010, 06:39:23 pm »
hifi, the person responsible for CnCNet v2, has released CnC-DDraw, an OpenGL reimplementation of the old DirectDraw API.

This not only allows you to play C&C95 and RA95 in a window, but contains options to stretch it to any size you want! It also fixes freezing and fast scrolling issues, and makes the game run better in WINE. In addition it has mouse adjustment and FPS limitation options.

There is a chance that it solves the multi-core CPU freeze bug some people have.

You didn't edit out the repetitive use of "It also".

Doesn't CnC-DDraw also support directdraw?

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

I got bugs too,

1° - The units where i'm trying to select, if i hit the mouse in the botton of screen, it looks like i've relased the mouse.
2° - Sometimes i need to restart C&C95 because i can't scroll down.
3° - After 5-8 Minutes of game, i have performance problems (slowdowns)

#1 is hardly a bug; it does the same thing if you touch the sidebar, and you can't scroll while selecting anyway.

Can't seem to debug in windowed mode though; IDA chokes on the on-the-fly hacks the dll does.

I should ask hifi to remake me one of the first versions, where all he did was make it not switch to fullscreen.
