{how to} open maps in huge window with voxed

Postby jojoestinky » Mon Jul 30, 2012 7:21 am

Hi,

Are you tired of the tiny little 640x480 window voxed uses?

Want it to open in a huge 1024x768 window?

you need to double click on a VXL map file, and find voxed when it asks you for the program to open it with.
(usually c:\aceofspades\voxed.exe)


Now, open your registry editor : press Windows key+R, then type in the word regedit and press enter.

Now press control F to open the search window, and type in voxed.exe.

Keep pressing find next util you are at :
computer\hkey_users\YOUR WINDOWS SERIAL NUMBER\ Software\ classes\ vxl_auto_file\shell\open\command

Double click on the word DEFAULT in the right pane of the window, and change the value to something like this:

"G:\Dropbox\Public\AoS\Maps\voxed.exe" "%1 " /1920x1080

The default valuse is this :
"G:\Dropbox\Public\AoS\Maps\voxed.exe" "%1 "

so all you are adding at the end is a bigger valid resolution than 1024x768 (the /1920x1080 part)

that is it!

now when you open a VXL file, you get a big window to see your masterpiece in :D

you can also make a shortcut with the /1920x1080 part, and just drag and drop your VXL file onto it.

Or you could launch it from the command line like "voxed.exe /1920x1080 /win" and it would launch voxed at that resolution and in windowed mode. But the shortcut idea is a rather good thought. Nice one, jojoe.
