Widescreen Gaming Forum

Since we're all falling over Paddy to help him, it's worth mentioning that although ZH creates it's own installation, you *must* still have the original Generals installed - otherwise ZH doesn't load. Once you've played Zero Hour, you'll never go back to the original Generals. ZH is so much more diverse and interesting (and hence fun!)


I just hope everyone understands that when you unpack the gamedata.ini you DO NOT have to re-insert it into "INIZH.BIG". You can if you want to be super-leet, but it's easier to edit when left in the INI folder.


KOJiN... we do have a working solution. I think we've done a pretty good job too. ;) *pat ourselves on the back*

... thanks guys ... 8)

I have updated the "Solution" it is here ... Solution: Command & Conquer: Generals & ZH [Edit]

Please let me know if it isn't quite right ... 8)
Any thoughts on a better way to title the "Solution" I could't fit it all in ... ?

Also ... neoWidescreen could you do us a screenshot a comparison shot at a normal 4x3 res from the same spot in the game ... and I will add it to the Solution ... thanks ... :D

Great work Paddy! A lot of surfers will appreciate this solution I'm sure.

The solution name is okay; if you could shorten Command & Conquer to "C&C" if you wanted. Most people (even EA's website) use this abbreviation.


4:3 screenshot here (i was going to take this at 800x600 so it looked really crappy compared to the widescreen shots. ;) But that wouldn't be fair)




Also paddy, it is possible to host that ZIP file somewhere? i'll eventually delete it knowing me.

I'll see what can be done ... and get back to you ... 8)

Thanks for the 4x3 ... it is now added to the Solution ... 8) :D

Some of the best times I had DOS gaming involved typing "CD C&C" followed by "C&C"... :D

Even the install program called Command and Conquer, C&C... 8)

*Dreamy sigh* those were great days, weren't they? When a 17" monitor was SOOOO HUGE. ;) And there was only 1 game that used more than 2 CD's - Myst. :P

But we digress. Anyone got the original C&C to work on widescreen? :P

Nope and Ra2 also won't work. Yeah for offline but not online, and i miss buttons 2 on Ra2, the button random map :cry: and it really pisses me off :evil:

Great solution! Is there anyway to get this to work online though with multiplayer? If I edit the maxcameraheight to anything other than default, it won't connect with anyone else. (Version mismatch errors). Thanks!

Fellblade, I get that too. I presume it's considered a "cheat". I have not yet tried this on a LAN with everyone running the same cameraheight hack.
