Hi to all,

could anyone help me to found a person who can programm me
a wrapper for the game "People General " from SSI to bring this game to higher resolution.
What do you think is it possible at all ?
The mainproblem is the units should not become smaller despite the higher resolution.

If the units are bitmap sprites, then they will probably need to be indivudally, manually redrawn.

Hi, this was about panzer general 3 scorched earth. The wrapper for this game works good and is almost perfect. But the programmer is to busy for long time to do a wrapper for " People General "
for me. I"m not sure if it is allowed to offer money for this wrapper here but i would do it.
If such a offer here is forbidden please remove the offer.

Sven Labusch made it ! His wrapper he made for Panzer general 3 scorched earth to bring this game to higher resolution works now also for People General. To test it download the wrapper from here.

ctrl + mouswheel switches the wrapper on and off
alt + mousewhell switches between fulscreen and 4:3
enter and alt switches to a window mod.
For the moment the wrapper works for win 7 , not for xp.
But Sven will solve this.

The wrapper works now also for "M.A.X. 2. But the outcome is not so impressive like in
Peoples General. When a game has a very low native resolution a wrapper can not do a wonder.
But it looks better than without the wrapper, from my fiew.
