To do this, navigate to your installation folder, typically this is usually something like: %root%\Program Files\Battlefront\Strategic Command 2 Demo From here open up the Bitmaps folder and find the following files: unit_silhouettes_sprites_3d.bmp unit_silhouettes_sprites_military.bmp unit_sprites_3d.bmp unit_sprites_military.bmp Essentially all you have to do is swap the names for these files, i.e. all the files that end with _3d should end with _military and all the files that end with _military should end with _3d. You might need to use a temporary location to rename these files and then place them back into the 'Bitmaps' folder. Now if you select to play with the non 3-D unit icons the game should play with 3-D looking units in place of the block style icons but with no mirroring. Hopefully this helps, Hubert That worked out just fine. Thanks Hubert! Great game, BTW, but you already know that [/QB]</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I have a fix in the works that will skip the Video Card rendering option (to mirror units) entirely. This should pretty much guarantee it works universally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Excellent! I'm running a Geforce3 Ti 200 btw. Old drivers but they've never given a problem on anything else. Any word on a zoom out? My monitor only does 1024x768. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Went home and booted the D-Day scenario over lunch for the first time. Hung up and failed to load. Shut down program and got the following. DirectXFAILED: dderr_exclusivemodealreadysetRunning DirectX 9.0c. A system reboot and then it loaded fine. Seems a bit odd that it just decided to start doing that now. btw, D-Day looks great.

I get the game going, I select all the usual options, but when game is ready to play, I get this odd message. failed (lost surfaces): Segmentation Violation That is pretty much verbatim. Anyone have any ideas? There is a known issue on some systems when you attempt to switch focus away, i.e. an ALT-TAB, during the AI animation turn. Can you confirm that this is not the case? In general though if you do not switch focus away during AI replay the game should run fine. If it is just a general lost surfaces error can you retry the download as perhaps it was corrupt. </font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Craig, Currently you can ALT-TAB but as mentioned it does happen on occasion only during AI turns. For the shipped version, since it is already in production the answer would be yes, but of course this does not preclude me from correcting this in a future patch as necessary.

CraigRS Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hubert, Thanks for the reply, I know this is a busy time and I appreciate you taking the time. If that (Windowed option) can be added in a patch I would grateful as I'm sure some others would be! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
