more screenres troubles

[Micromegas]

After a reinstall I'm pretty much stuck with 1024, seems like the ini is ignored alltogether - the intro is still playing, too. Err, taling about Conquests 1.22 if that's of any importance.

Here's the ini:

[Civilization III]
MainFontSize=16
InterludeFontSize=16
Prefs Format=1
Difficulty=0
Map Type=0
Top Menu=1
Faction=0
Preferences=00000000000000111010111111111111
Rules=00000000000000000000000000111111
Customize=0
Time Controls=1
Governor=00000000000000000000000000000000
Gov Prod Never=00000000000000000000000000011000
Gov Prod Often=00000000000000000000000000000000
SFX Volume=127
Music Volume=127
Main Volume=127
Latest Save=
PlayIntro=0
Video Mode=1280
Refresh=60

Any ideas what's wrong? It was all running fine with 1280, no probs, before the reinstall. Wished I'd just saved the friggin ini.

Is your native res 1280x1024? If not, make sure it is. Then add the line KeepRes=1, that should keep it at 1280x1024.

 

[Micromegas]

It is, on the Display I intend to play on. Got two running, though. Maybe that's why KeepRes, didn't work neither. It's really odd, as if the whole ini is ignored altogether. Won'T stick to desktop resolution, nor can it be forced to use a specific one, neither am I able to stop the intro from playing.

Is that your conquests.ini file?

Things in your Civilization.ini file won't affect Conquests....

(I don't have any idea if I'm right about you using the wrong file, but sometimes the best of us can miss the obvious. )

 

[Micromegas]

Duh! That was the prob. Ah, well part of at least - I needed to actually start a game to get a conquest.ini. Computers can be hideous at times. Thx for pointing me in the right direction.

 

[Turner]

Actually, you don't need to start Conquests to get the .ini file. You can create it, and conquests will append to it as necessary.

 

[Micromegas]

Yup, figured that by now. Seems I simply forgot about the file altogether, because it just wasn't there when I looked and so I concluded that it will use the civ.ini. Btw, the last install lasted three yrs, so I can safely forget about it again. Anyway, thx for your help, Turner_727 and Padma.
