Jim Cobb Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I just installed TacOps v4 and the latest patch. I have the following questions: 1, I have no information line. 2. Unzipping the patch creates a subfolder. Where do I put the files? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 What is an information line? There is a README in the subfolder created which explain where to place things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 The information line on my system used to be postioned correctly when I started a game. Now I must resize my TacOps window once or twice to get the information line to move to the correct position above the task bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Ah. I think you should proably nuke the TacOps preferences files (all of them, even old versions) and see whether that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As best that I recall, TacOps for Windows has always used the entire screen (including the task bar area) when a map was larger than the screen. Two ways to change this are below. I prefer the second solution. Solution One. With each running of TacOps, resize the map window so that the offending edge does not cover the Windows task bar. Reminder, I can not assume that the Windows task bar will always be at the bottom of a user's screen. Some folks like to have it on the side of the screen. Solution Two. Change the properties of the Windows task bar. Left click on an empty spot on the task bar and select "Properties? Uncheck the box titled "Lock the taskbar". Check the box titled "Auto-hide the taskbar". Check the box titled "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows. Click the OK button. The task bar will now remain hidden until you actually want to use it. To reveal the task bar during TacOps game play (or at any other time) you just move the cursor over where it should be and it will appear and it will be floating over the TacOps map window or over whatever other application that you are using. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajorH TacOps Developer Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Did you just now get around to buying v4? If so, what version did you buy last? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cobb Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Hangs head in shame. Yes but I've been busy. I had v3. I have gotten all versions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
