Elasto Mania Window Mode

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 20 Nov 2003, 11:46

Is it possible to play ELMA in window mode instead of fullscreen mode?

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 20 Nov 2003, 12:25

No.

There has been talk about making it, but nobody has done it (yet).

not much point really, it is not that hard to alt+tab and any changes you make to your elma dir dont change untill you restart it anyway

I canÂ´t ALT+TAB my Elma cause the sound disappear

Do you really want the elma sound? If thats the sound you are talking about!

Depends on what kinda changes you mean. If you alt-tab and change, say, the name of a level or a rec, you don't have to restart elma for the change to take place.

And windowed mode could be useful when chatting and playing elma..

behk, doesnt windowed mode mean same thing as windowed elma?

And ky jelly, how can you say that its no use to have windowed mode ?

You can put windowed elma to be top all the time and leave mirc behind it and stretch elma window so you can see #across or #battle all the time from below, and then write your battle result just in time or just hoyl elma and follow chat at the same time without alt-tabing.

My friend (Wieloryb) gave me link to some Japanese (?) program, that can run Elma (preset to Fallout) and other Direct3D games in window mode. Its play very well.

I have on my computer ~40 FPS (of course, in windowed Elma).
Wieloryb hardware is much stronger and he obtain as said, about 85 FPS.

Download here: http://bug.ii.uj.edu.pl/fallout/patch/D3DWindower.zip

After start, choose "+" symbol and set your Elma.exe (or Elma12.exe) file. Then, click on ">" (Play mark) and run Elma normal method or from "Computer icon" in that software.

Some application options (eg. FPS Counter) are hidden in second (from right) icon.

Enjoy.

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 17 Apr 2005, 01:04

OMG it works! I only get 20 fps though

.

But the really annoying thing (for me) is the sound stuttering/delays/repeats.

Rez · Post by **Rez** » 17 Apr 2005, 09:25

to everyone who read what i wrote originaly: forget

EDIT again: switch to 640X480 in elmaconf to run it smooth

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 17 Apr 2005, 10:42

Works, and pretty good too.

110 FPS in menu
75 FPS in playing
30 FPS after finishing, only 0.5-1 seconds.

btw, FPS counter is indeed at the snd from right icon, the map with the hammer. Activate the option where there is standing FPS and some Z and stuff.

Post by **Abula** » 17 Apr 2005, 11:01

I don't see any FPS and Z... can you please tell more accurate. What tab for example?

i see no diference if its checked or not

which solution do you use @tj?

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 17 Apr 2005, 11:32

It's above elma, in the bar.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 17 Apr 2005, 11:40

tried a bit..i looks to be behaving max different
so no vsync tunning anymore, window mode is next!

Rez · Post by **Rez** » 17 Apr 2005, 12:06

knows someone any japanese guys who can translate this tool?

Sathy · Post by **Sathy** » 17 Apr 2005, 12:44

Well atleast it's good for watching replays and some cruising.
The settings are a bit on the weird side but atleast I figured out that the two fields next to the fps check box define the window size.
The first one is for window width and the second for height.
But seems that there's no point in changing the window size from default since it requires alot more calculating.

And yeah the translation would be sweet, could maybe figure out some settings for other games too. The prog seems to have some big mouse problems so not much point in it for other games...maybe changing some settings would make it work better.

Rez · Post by **Rez** » 17 Apr 2005, 13:03

when you open this ini file and look for elma(12).exe and scroll down there youll find some things about the cursor. change everything to 1 and it will work fine

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 17 Apr 2005, 19:29

Can't use alt for alovolt

So I will not use this anymore.. =)

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 17 Apr 2005, 19:36

I guess that's a settings difference

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 17 Apr 2005, 20:42

Yes, it is but I'm so used to have alo for alt.

wjelo · Post by **wjelo** » 17 Apr 2005, 21:39

yes that's me who found tht tool

it works good for me also mouse i use it in other old games that run only in 8oox6oo/64ox48o cause i got nearly-flat 17'. i got (in windowed elma) 85 fps in 1024x768 mode and 100fps in 8oox6oo mode but anyway i don't use it cause of annoying animation problems. i got amd xp 2500+, ati 9ooo pro and 512 ram

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 17 Apr 2005, 22:55

For me it runs preatty smooth,, haven't changed anything and it runs.

Menu: 190-193 FPS
Playing: Always 75 FPS
After finishing: under 20 FPS

Runs really really smooth for me:)
But can't use the editor. No cursor, and when i find where it is... the mouse goes outside the window and then can't use it.

Crypt · Post by **Crypt** » 18 Apr 2005, 00:26

works for me, where in prog do i change teh 800x600 etc. or are you saying right click on teh desktop and goto options etc.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 18 Apr 2005, 08:02

Boomer, i was thinking you could edit some settings maybe ...

Xiphias, open up Hook.ini and scroll down. There are some parameters called Cursor... and something else. Where there stands 0 after it, replace it with 1

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 18 Apr 2005, 13:56

found it..

Actually u don't need any english version of this program. Everything is in the hook.ini file and it's in english

and as i've realized there are just as many options in the hook.ini file as there is in the program

JuXa · Post by **JuXa** » 18 Apr 2005, 14:05

I have AMD AthlonXP 2200+, Ati Radeon 9600 Pro 128mb anf 512mb's of RAM, but the game works bad (even in 640x480). I have Win XP and the Elma version is 1.2 Final. What is the problem?

Menu FPS (640x480) : 28 FPS
Playing : 15-28 FPS (yesterday it worked at 15 FPS and today 28 )
After died : 11 FPS

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 18 Apr 2005, 14:08

i have old athlon1200 here, ez 72 fps in game

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 18 Apr 2005, 14:09

got no idea... maybe Div-X.. just got no idea..

it works fine with me

JuXa · Post by **JuXa** » 18 Apr 2005, 14:27

In hook.ini: UseDDrawColorEmulate=1, if i put it to 0 it will work fine, but the colors are messed up....

Crypt · Post by **Crypt** » 18 Apr 2005, 23:01

meh i donno whats wrong, it works for my computer upstairs and its old, Pentium 2, 330megahertz, over 30fps usually (in normal mode it goes max fast)

Karlis · Post by **Karlis** » 19 Apr 2005, 21:14

runs ok with a64 3200+ and X850XT

seems like refresh rate limits the fps so I got only 120fps in gameplay, if I could get higher refresh rate to windows i would most likely to get more,
260fps or something in menus

maybe enough fps for some ppl but i still prefer elma in full screen with 800+ fps

MLZS · Post by **MLZS** » 20 Apr 2005, 12:36

That program fucked up my computer... DAMN!!!

thats bull Karlis!

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 30 Apr 2005, 15:09

so how's this Windowed Mode going?

anyone had any problems with it?

or anything?

Dariuz · Post by **Dariuz** » 30 Apr 2005, 18:09

well, the only problem is that it uses the desktop refreshrate, which is logical because its windowed. and on my screensize of 1280x1024 thats 60Hz max, and no 120Hz like im used too.

You are saying you're working on 60Hz refresh rate?

How are teh eyes doing? ..

(I can't imagine anything under 85Hz for more than 5 minutes, and I mean 75Hz is very bad, 85Hz is minimum.. 60 is even visible to the eye, that's more than harmful.)

Post by **SveinR** » 5 Feb 2006, 17:19

My monitor can't display more than 75Hz.
