if you uninstall "Uninstall 1.0.2" it will not remove mods, but you will not be able to install any new mods until main multi installer has been reinstalled.

when installing main multi installer, you will get message folder already exists.

By the by, pressing f8 does not activate full-screen mode for me (this is with Balance of Power - large map version). Not a big deal, just wanted to mention it.

Well this is embarrassing...I'd never noticed the F Lock on my keyboard before. :oops:




Okay, so yes, now I have F Lock set to on.

However, the f8 key still isn't working properly. In fact, it's now actually worse than before (previously, obviously nothing happened when I pressed f8). Now what's happening when I press f8 is this:

Still not a big deal, though -- I'm perfectly happy playing the game in windowed mode. :)

Martok,

just wondering from the image above, when mpr++ starts is it in top left or did you move it there?

good point, if it opens top left instead of middle the window positioning code is broken

F8-ing crashes the game for me too; so i use windowed mode, maximized; I don't know off the top of my head how to set the game in windowed mode but it is in the Readme. The benefit is that when i maximize the game i get to keep my task bar for easy access; also ALT-Tab-ing works fine. Here's how i like it:

It only moves to the top left (like you saw earlier) when I press f8. When I fire up mpr++, it starts in the middle of my screen, like this:

No worries, Flocke. It's still a great achievement, and as I said, I have absolutely no problem playing mpr++ in windowed mode. :)

Hey Flocke, thank you for making this for a game that, while incredibly old by computer and gaming standards, is what everyone here can agree is timeless. With that being said, I would love to be a part of the process in making this product even better.

Would you please allow me to join your alpha?
