Hmm - I did notice the different viewport, but I wasn't sure!

I don't have Paintshop myself...

Yep, that is indeed even more impressive. I never dared that, although it should not be much more effort than changing the wall format...

I personally don't need the Paintshop Pro action, but it sounds very interesting!

What do you mean by "crisp"? Looking good in a 640x480 window? Or looking bad?

manikus · 04-02-2009, 12:06 PM

Crisp means that it will look even better than it does now. It will look as 'crisp' as the higher resolution art - at least when it's viewed in a window. Nothing will change with full screen option, which is okay by me, as I think it looks pretty darn good.

Uatu · 04-02-2009, 09:06 PM

Hmm - crisper but smaller, right?

manikus · 04-02-2009, 09:35 PM

Yup.

Reading Paul's posts elsewhere (or maybe they wee emails), I gather he is going to work on this as soon as he hears from Richard. There is a general graphics error tied to using a specific version of DirectX, and updating to a more recent one would eliminate this and allow for windowed play (there is coding involved too). It may be that this wipes a couple of level 9 bugs along the way - which would be great for everyone.

Windowed playing would definitely be a nice option! Might make more people interested in playing DC, too.

manikus · 04-03-2009, 01:42 AM

I agree.

Though, I always play in full screen for everything, unless it's solitaire.

When I was first playing around with DC code, windowed gaming was one of the things I looked into. I got it to work, however the window was stuck in the top left of the screen and you couldn't move it. Other than this small hiccup, it worked fine.

manikus · 04-03-2009, 11:06 AM

Hopefully Paul can do something with it, then.

He seemed to know what needed to be done, he just wanted to check with Richard first...

Re- hijacking this thread back to what it was originally

, I put all my porjects on hold after determining that there was a security issue with my computer. Now, I've ran Malwarebytes to clean it and it found and removed the problems I had. And since it has been running better. I hope to somehow prove that it is clean and I can resume and share files.

Anyone know how to prove your computer is clean of malware?
