Problems with oxygen and viewer (bulldozer)

[tekkerchrede]

Hi,
I have got the o2 and the updated viewer files. I install the files as told in brsseb&#39;s tutorial (brsseb@<hidden>) and to this point everything is okay.
But it is when I start the o2 file, my problems begin to appear. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/rock.gif The viewer (Bulldozer) is preset to start up and close down at the same time as 02. As far as I can see this is okay, as the tutorial tells me to close down the viewer window and modify the options-window at the files-bar.
I just can&#39;t close it down. The only way I can close, is by rebooting the PC by switching off the electricity and then afterwards turning it back on, again.

The viewer screen is divided in two; the lower part is green and the upper part shows a sky and in top a line with some text I think is some thing like: mod = 0, scale X .....

If anyone thinks it can be a help, my computer is a 900 MHz Pentium III with a 32 MB GeForce2 and Windows ME. I&#39;ve upgrated for OFP: Resistance ver. 1.91.

Any suggestions to solve the problem...&#33;?&#33;

You might want to check your Flashpoint.cfg file and change the resolution down,Should look like Resolution_W an Resolution_H.But Im not sure it will help.

Do you mean the paramters I need to change, are placed in the flashpoint.cfg-file? Anyway I will try it...

From what you posted Im guessing that you have your Buldozer set with the following cammand which is
"-window -noland".That will make Buldozer start-up in window size and with the screen split into a green an a sky.If you check your Flashpoint.cfg file that should be located where the Buldozer.exe is.Open it with notepad or something and Change the resolution to where it is viewable as a box.For example if your Windows display resolution is 800x600 change it in the "Flashpoint.cfg" to

Resolution_W=640;
Resolution_H=480;

and save the changes made.Then start O2.And Buldozer should be in a window.If that doesnt work let me know and I will try and figure out something else.

OK I will try that...

Hi,

Thanks for helping me, but your suggestion doesn’t seem to work. I’ve changed the resolution in the flashpoint.cfg-file from 1024 x 768 (standard resolution), to 800 x 600. I have even tried as low as 640 x 480 to see if it had any influence, which it hasn’t. The viewer still starts up as maximised and fills out the whole screen.
You were completely right about the “-window -noland”-command and the screen divided into green and sky.
I think the line with mod = 0, scale X … appears each time the viewer starts up, but I’m not sure as my computer freezes sometimes.
As soon as I had installed the viewer I rewrote the bulldozer-flashpoint.cfg with the original game’s flashpoint.cfg and changed the things as I was told to do. That didn’t work so overwrote it again with the bulldozer and that didn’t help either. So now I’m using the one from the original game, because it works best (I think it doesn’t freeze as many times as the one from bulldozer).

Kind regards

Hi,

A little, but maybe important, thing I forgot to tell. With the original game&#39;s .cfg-file I&#39;m now capable of closing down the viewer with the Alt + F4 command.
