Don't overreact, the phorum rules are what they are, by posting here you should accept to follow them, like them or not.
Personally, I don't like them anymore than you, but if they help to keep the phorum free of legal trouble and "I needz XXX game" threads, that's a very small prize to pay.
I'm done here, that just disgusted me right off.
Nice, i hope i won't see another posting of you in that direction then.

Shock and surprise.
While I have a mod's attention would you please remove my subscription to this thread since I can't do it from my profile page (that i can see) and the link provided with the email notice doesn't appear to work.
The link in question: D-Fend Reloaded (DOSBox frontend)
P.S. Feel absolutely free to delete this post with my blessing after you solve the problem, I would have contacted some kind of support staff but I saw no contact information on the primary page beyond a link to Mr. Snover's page, and it gives me the impression that he doesn't handle this sort of thing.
P.P.S. RC1 Sings.
I didn't even know that it was possible to watch a topic in the first place
Maybe this one works ?

How to ask questions the smart way!
Hi, Alexander!
I tried to install DFR on my Vista installation (on Virtual PC) to check GameExplorer feature and failed.
What I found:
a) GameExplorer folder lays not under $APPDATA but under $LOCALAPPDATA. (That is 'Users\Name\AppData\Local instead of Users\Name\AppData\Roaming). Check your system maybe you have both this variables identical (it may be the case without network environment).
BTW, On XP environment LOCALAPPDATA is absent.
b)My NSIS (2.44) cannot check directory existence with 'IfFileExists DIRECTORY\'. I should write 'DIRECTORY' without slash (or maybe 'DIRECTORY\*.*').
With appropriate changes installer works as it should, but maybe that is only on my system, I have no other to check.
Hi, I'm really enjoying using your frontend. Simply put it is in my opinion the most stable and has all neccessary features. There's one simple request I'd have though, can you add the 1680x1050 resolution into the fullscreen resolution drop-down menu under graphics options? Found a bunch of other widescreen resolutions but the one I'm using seems to have been overlooked.

Hi, Litude
Well, You can add it yourself in the user folder/D-Fend Reloaded/Settings/ConfOpt.dat file. Just edit it with the notepad and add the desired resolution mode in the second section of the file ([resolution] tag). I have no idea if it will work though - slightly too high res for my monitor to test it 😀

there is a still even more convenient way:
in the program options unter "profile editor" > "default values" (with "mode" set to "advanced")
Thanks to both of you, got my problem fixed! 😀
wrote:Hi plutonick,
what do you mean with "Dosbox-scummvm" ? D-Fend Reloaded is not starting ScummVM profiles by using DOSBox in any way. It's starting DOSBox profiles by running DOSBox and ScummVM profiles by running ScummVM. In both cases it creates the configuration file for the emulator and then calls it. DOSBox has no own GUI for the configuration; ScummVM has some GUI which should do nearly the same as D-Fend Reloaded. If you cannot get VGA graphics eighter by running the through D-Fend Reloaded nor by running it directly from the ScummVM GUI, perhaps ScummVM is not yet supporting VGA for this game. ScummVM is still under development and each version is supporting more games and more options for the games. Have you checked the ScummVM compatibility list ?
Hello again. This is exactly what I mean. I can get VGA support when running the game directly through scumvm, but I get no vga support when running it throu d-fend. . I am using Scummvm's latest version.
-EDIT- solved
Ok, i found the solution and i feel kinda stupid
The files included both disk1.vga and disk1.ega. I guess running scumvm running directly chose the vga ones, but scumvm through d-fend chose the .ega ones.
Deleting the .ega files, made running the game through d-fend use vga mode.
Thanks, and sorry for wasting your time 🙁
plutonick, if you have both ega and vga Lure files in the same directory, you may add custom ScummVM settings: 'extra=VGA' (or 'extra=EGA'). It may help to distinguish versions.
Hi everybody,
just 4 days away and so many new posts. Luckily most of them have already been answered. So only some words about the remaining things:
First: 2b is still on my todo. (I had some new little bugs and requests via PM the last days).
More default values for different DOSBox versions: In D-Fend Reloaded 0.7 I won't extend the cvs default values lists for videos modes etc. (pcjr, ega and demovga are already supported). If you want to add more values, you can add any value in the default values section. I'll wait for DOSBox 0.73 and add the new values offered in this version to DFR 0.8.
Games explorer: I'm using the game explorer plugin for NSIS to add D-Fend Reloaded to the Vista games explorer: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Game_explorer
So I'm not writing to $APPDATA or $LOCALAPPDATA explicitely. I'll check this.
IfFileExists: Thanks, I'll fix it. The NSIS manual says "If you want to check to see if a file is a directory, use IfFileExists DIRECTORY\*.*" - I must have skipped this.
hi alexander!
just a small suggestion: "open program folder" in the context menu of a scummvm-profile is grayed out, and only functional with dosbox-games. i'd find it logical, if this option would open the "game folder" of the scummvm-game.
hi again!
i tried playing around with custom icons a bit, and came across the following two issues:
- in the file "%DFR_DIR%\Settings\Icons.ini" it is stated: "The filename can be absolute or relative to the D-Fend Reloaded data directory (this directroy)."
afaics thats not the case anymore. the filenames must be relative to "%DFR_DIR%", and not "%DFR_DIR%\Settings"
- in the Icons.ini-file its stated that, "The icons must have 16x16 pixels and can be in bmp, gif, jpg or png format.". but it seems, that only bmp-files are working correctly. i tried using the same 16x16 file as bmp, gif, jpg and png, and only the bmp-file worked. using the other file-formats DFR gave me the error "Ungültige Bildgröße" (invalid picture-size) upon launching. i attached an archive with the icon in all fileformats, so you can try it out. as a sidenote: bmp and jpg are not really perfect as icons, since they dont support transparency. gif and png would be best for that.
Some little status update:
For a complete changelog of the (not yet released) RC2 see the beta download page. At the moment there are still three things on my list to look at before the release of RC2.
And not to forget one word about transparency in Delphi programs: The Delphi TListView component internally uses images in bmp format so gif/jpeg transparency is not supported at all. TListView is using some other way for transparency: The most left bottom pixel of the image is used as background color. All pixels with this color are interpreted as transparent pixels.
Again some little status update:
D-Fend Reloaded 0.7 RC2 is nearly done. At the moment I'm just waiting for some new toolbar button images. (Yeah, D-Fend Reloaded will get some nicer GUI images finally.) Because the string list for 0.7 is frozen since beta 2 I could only add some new features not needing new strings. The multiple profiles editor was on my 0.8 todo and doesn't need any new strings so I have improved the multiple profiles editor the last days. In RC2 you will be able to change nearly every profile setting via this editor.
Hi Alexander, ...
I use your = D-Fend Reloaded 0.7RC1 PortableApps package.

I found a screenshot, that inside D-Fend Reloaded, that display = pixel garbage graphics.
= Add this screenshot below, inside a D-Fend Reloaded game profile.
