Resolutions
Has anyone come up with any kind of fix so the game will be full screen at higher desktop resolutions?

Re: Resolutions
The game uses fixed-dimension *.bmp files for its appearance, so you're stuck with either 800x600 or 1024x768.
I think some people use batch files to switch resolutions, then start the game. I don't know of any way to switch it when you start the game, then switch back when exiting (other than hard-code changes, of course).

Re: Resolutions
I wonder...
What if you made larger .bmp's?

Re: Resolutions
The game code is probably designed to be at a fixed size in the various resolutions (or else it would strecth to the edges in larger resolutions, or be in a window), so larger bitmaps wouldn't have any effect.

Re: Resolutions
Oh, they'd have an effect I bet.
The effect of only the center being visible in-game.  Besides, many of the visuals are hardcoded.

Re: Resolutions
It should be possible to write a script (maybe using windows scripting host) to change resolution to 1024x768 run the game and then change it back to a higher one. Don't ask me how to write it.
BTW IIRC you'll see a corner, not the center of a too large bitmap.
