I missed this game. Thank you all for allowing me to play this again.
Installed properly, and then applied the 1366x786 patch. Big sigh of relief.
Then I installed UM5. Loving the UM5 mod. Hating the old resolution. Please tell me there's a way to combine the two.
I'll even accept UM5 in 1024x768.

Re: UM5 and resolution
sorry to say, but no other resolutions were created for UM5
I have explained how to apply vanilla patches to other mods but most have poor results (when gui has been edited).
tbh I doubt if this will work 100% on UM5......
first backup stbof.res and trek.exe from BOTF folder and UM5 folder.
copy UM5 stbof.res and trek.exe to BOTF folder
then run 1366 patch
copy the stbof.res and trek.exe from botf folder to UM5 folder
copy the backed up botf stbof.res and trek.exe to botf folder
also any new buildings Dafedz added you will need to create new image. (if new files are not added game will crash in research and build screens)
example of the files needing to be edited
cdep_b.tga (this file is still needed) this file is 270x225
cdep_c.tga (this is a new file for larger gui) this file is 400x333
so all files ending in "_b" you need to create and add to stbof.res a new larger image named "****_c.tga". don't forget to save new files as 16 bit tga.
You may also need to run QD resolution patcher (test game first)

Re: UM5 and resolution
Thank you so much for the reply. I'll give that a shot.
UM5 aside, are there any gameplay mods that have included resolution increases?

Re: UM5 and resolution
no "mod" includes res increase.
all mods must be installed first then the res patch must be applied.
here is link to all the resolution patches

Re: UM5 and resolution
I now understand. I've been looking through the GUI files and I see there are a few with corresponding mods. Is there a specific combination you recommend? After having played UM5, vanilla botf is so bland.

Re: UM5 and resolution
That one looks FUN! Another quick question...
"This is 1024 x 768 patch for UDMIII3.01dc only"
Your mod is currently 3.0.1dda. Will the resolution patch work properly?

Re: UM5 and resolution
that should be "UDMIII3.01dc and above only" gui has not changed since the patch was released (older version had problems)
