[quote][quote]No you need to figure out (by searching) where that piece of code, as it exists in the 1.0, exists in Kings.exe. Not easy! I can't follow you. You gave me just very blured hints. I am just wondering, what did you exactly mean by this "need to figure out (by searching) where that piece...

[quote]You are right about the output, but doesn't matter, should be the same result .. I have tried many times before with createpatch. Here is what I get when following your printscreen.

debill: I wrote before: rename/copy your empires2.exe to age2_x1_Kings.exe or so (because the patcher only looks for age2_x1*.exe ... ) THEN createpatches will create one for kings too. :) yeah, thats exactly, what doesn't work .. as I wrote before, so you talk still in a circle instead of giving m...

Thank you very much, but could you please more specify the steps to do tha? I still cannot make it. Let's have game folder "AoE TC" for example. In "AoE TC" folder root is "EMPIRES2.EXE" (AoK executable) and another "Age2_x1.exe" folder wit TC extention. I have already installed you TC widesreen pat...

Hello boekabart, I have already tried to patch the AoK .exe file, but I have some problems to finish it. First of all, probably I don't get what you have mentioned before with that 'createpatches' ??? What exactly is it? Here is what i did: I took "AoE2Wide1.0e.patch", renamed it for version 2.0 and...

To boekabart: Is there any modification of your perfect wide patch simply just for use with basic "AOE 2: Age of Kings" version?

Yes de Bill, sorry, your solution is really the best - I think - as I have tried it now successfully on several PCs. On my Win7 x64 comp, everything ran OK with a batch file, but on my another laptop with Vista x32, the game was always crashing. Thus I renamed new widescreen exe to age2_x1 and repl...

However, I found out that my wallpapers didn't display back after a gaming session : instead desktop is black. Aero does work well on the other hand. I'm us...

[quote][quote]De bill, With your program, it's impossible to use alt+tab explorer.exe is in cause ? How to switch in another program when we are in game ? READ!!! As explained above, alt-tab is impossible while using ANY win7 color fix, because explorer.exe is either killed or suspended. Use ctrl-a...

:) OK, If you already got your age2_x1_1920x1200.exe => renamed to age2_x1.exe work, you almost get it. Now, as you start your computer, before anything else you do, just run my color FIX app., set it up as you wish and press START/APPLY (do not forget to do that). Now try your game again as you did...

Yeah, I agree with you with clearance of my statements. But you got it right. It is that .exe file (for you 1920x1200) what I ment. I don't see any problem, why your age2_x1_1920x1200.exe file wouldn't work. Maybe it is caused by missing parametr included in batch file (see above, what boekabart wro...

de bill, I'm using your soft, thank you :) It's possible to imagine to compile your patch with the HD patch ? I play on gameranger, and it's impossible to use HD patch. Good to here it foluia, thank you :) , With that HD patch, I guess you mean "this" widescreen patch by boekabart. As I wrote befor...

Yes, I see, you are right => "age2_x1_1.0e_1920x1200.exe" 1280 => I understand now, the command line included in batch file you talk about is skipped using the patch in way, i wrote above. I didn't even know about this topic. I did not realize any problems yet with skipping it. But with batch file y...

Hello, maybe I did not understand correctly, but only thing, that AOC W7 color FIX do is watching for process "age2_x1.exe" in process list. If this is started, the app. suspend/kill explorer. It has nothing to do with any of age2_x1.exe versions. You can test my app. on any .exe file, if you rename...

I upgraded a little bit the original generated "aoe2wide" batch file :rockout (I took & used "process.exe") to an automatic application, which runs in background and is able to immediately suspend (or delayed suspend) explorer AFTER the "age2_x1.e...

Hello all, congratulations for perfect work to you, who created this patch. Works perfectly in that wide functions. I just have a QUESTION about the color palette fix under W7 and explorer.exe suspend. I like a lot this suspend mode. Much better than just kill and start explorer.exe again. BUT, it i...
