C1 on Windows 7
Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2010 6:58 pm
EDIT 2012 :
Thanks to hifi's work, getting hires CARMA95 to work like a charm on Win7 is easy peasy now.
First thing is to get ddraw.dll from the dedicated site and put it in the Carmageddon folder (I know ddraw seems like a CnC file but it works with C1 too).
Next, you'll want to patch your CARMA95 with carm95_always_hires.exe and carm95_humans.exe to remove the password and force human mode, and to force hires. Get the patches on hifi's Carma site, put them in C1 folder and run them.
This should be good. Read the cnc-ddraw page to see how you can configure ddraww.dll. Within ddraw.ini you'll want to cap the max-fps at 30 to get rid of the timer bug for good.
From hifi's page, you can also grab wsock32-lan.dll which will allow you to play LAN games very easily, just rename it into wsock32.dll and put it in the C1 folder.
You can also bring the music back: download winmm.dll and put it in the C1 folder. Then create a MUSIC folder inside your C1 folder and put WAV files within it named like this: Track02.wav, Track03.wav, etc up to Track08.wav. Track01.wav won't be read (it was the data track on the cd). Good to bring back the original soundtrack :)
This is not a tutorial.
I'd just like to hear from your experience with C1 on Win7.
It seems like it might have the same problem as with Vista, some users getting it to work easily, others being unable to get the thing to start at all.
Here we have a netbook with integrated Intel gfx chipset. I used D3Dwindower and it worked like a charm.
I'd like to hear from you and have some words about your hardware.
Thank you :)
