Hi everyone

 

I wish I could describe how happY i am to have found the game again with which I wasted most of my teen and tween age years.  Great price to pick up some nostaligia for me and big thank you to everyone who helped continue this great game.

That said, I  have two questions I hope to get some help with:

a. Unit / Group screens - is there a way to expand these beyond the set maximum dimensions? I am playing on a 30-somethign ultrawide screen adn would love to utilize that space

b. Sound - sound samples seem to have a excessive amount of static noise/hiss in the back ground . Is there something I can do to fix this?

 

Any help is much appreciated,

Cheers,

 

Rho

Welcome Rho!  

a. No, there is not a way to go beyond the maximum dimensions.  Someday hopefully and we've done various proof of concepts over the years but never matched the raw performance of the Group and Unit windows as they exist today.

b. Hmm, if you play the files directly, do you still have excessive static?  They are in the Sounds subdirectory of the game so in C:\Matrix Games\HUCE\Sounds in a default installation.  You could certainly swap in your own.  They don't sound the cleanest to me but I don't find them overly noisy so am curious if it is a strange interaction between the files and your hardware.  Also, see a user mod 

 

Many thanks Tony, I'll get cracking with that Mod and keep fingers crossed some day we may be able to expand those screen dimensions
