D3D just means hardware mode, and technically yes it's compatible, but depending on your system you might have to do a lot of messing around.

looked in the original render.cfg for TRO and it had that section

anyone have a list of any BZ1 command line switches?

Same as BZ2?

/win

/edit

/largemap

some of the ones I use....

On top of that there are the ones for opening IA maps, or specific missions....

What command line switches would you need besides:
/win
/nointro
/d3d
(unless you were map editing...or playing IA maps)

one to set resolution would be nice

ya, it would

Why would you want that?
It's already in the game's options,
and remains at that res unless you
change it or the game crashes.

just wondering if there is one; must be hard-coded in TRO since it only gives me choices for 640/800/1024/1280.

BZ 1.4 and TRO use a pre-defined list of resolutions (400x300, 512x384, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200), while BZ 1.5 and BZE 1.3 ask D3D for the list of resolutions. The downside is that D3D provides a lot more resolutions so picking a resolution in the graphic options dialog is much more annoying.

I'm not sure if I follow. How is typing in a command line res less of a hassle than picking a res from a list, albeit somewhat large?

I was comparing it against the original much-shorter list, and it's annoying only because there's no back button if you go past the resolution you want. What it really needs is a list box or combo box.

so a shell rework is in progress? great, glad to hear it, lemme know when you're done...

Yyyeah... I'll get right on that.
