=============
NOTE TO USERS
=============

This pack is the one of the first successful attempts to add high resolutions
to Command & Conquer Windows '95 edition.

However, patching progress did not stop there, and a lot more has been fixed
and added to the game since then.

Please check out the full v1.06 project instead of using this absolutely
ancient old hack :P

=========================================
Nyerguds' High Resolution Patch for C&C95
========================================= V1.1

This totally rewritten patch allows you to switch C&C95 to 1024x768 resolution
and back without needing any additional tools. The game will read the
resolution setting straight out of the game's original configuration file,
which can be edited with the updated configuration tool.

This also means that, unlike in the older patch, you can still play the game
in its normal resolution, even after installing this.

The patch pack should contain these files: 

C&C95.exe      Updated game executable. This C&C95.exe file is fully patched
               with VK's 1.05 patch and Komfr's stealth crash fix.
UPDATEC.MIX    Contains the updated layout graphics and some map fixes for the
               first two GDI campaign missions
CCSETUP.EXE    Updated ccsetup.exe with new resolution added to the list.
THIPX32.DLL    Scorpio9a's LAN patch; necessary to run the game on WinXP.

 Installation:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Extract the files in your C&C95 directory, overwriting the original files.

You can always backup the old files, but this is not really necessary, since
this pack still allows you to play the game in its original resolution anyway.

 Usage:
=-=-=-=-

To play the game in 1024x768, simply start CCSETUP.EXE and select the new
resolution from the list.

Unlike the older hi-res tools, this will not do any hacks in C&C95.exe.
It will simply edit the game's configuration file CONQUER.INI and put
the Resolution setting to value "2". The updated C&C95.exe does the rest :)

 Notes:

1. Savegames:

There is an odd bug in the game which makes the sidebar unusable after loading
a game that was saved when playing with a different screen width. Because of
this, I have decided to completely separate the savegames for the 1024x768
resolution. This means you can't use older savegames in this mode. In fact,
The game will not even show them in your list. The new hi-resolution savegames
will use the filenames "SAVEG_HI.???" instead of "SAVEGAME.???".


2. Small missions:

The first campaign missions for each side will be smaller than the screen
resolution, which gives some odd graphical bugs. Most of these are fixed by
just touching the edge of the screen with your cursor (to scroll) and then
opening and closing the main menu.


3. minimap crash on small missions:

Another more serious bug is the fact that C&C95 will crash when trying to
display a minimap in a mission that is smaller than the screen resolution.
However, since none of the smaller C&C missions allow you to have a
communications center, this should not be a problem.

Because of this bug, I will not release any more patches to play C&C95 in a
higher resolution than 1024x768, since it will make the problem occur on
campaign missions where you CAN get a minimap.
