Key features:
- Local in game clock
- Game/replay timer, time game/replay last played
- News Ticker for GR tourneys, events
- FPS Limiter for window mode
- Useful window positions for window mode
- Cursor lock for window mode and dual monitor
- controls for toggling all features
How to use:
Download, extract d3d8.dll, copy into
General Zero Hour directory:
Launch the game, either with ACETON or standalone. On startup you will see the ticker once. If possible GameReplays.org team can leave a message there and inform you about events and tricks.
On the top right you can see the FPS counter, followed by FPS limit in brackets, and then your local time.
With
F3 button you can toggle the FPS limit. By default it will be your Monitors refresh rate. For example 75 Hz = 75 FPS. You can toggle between Refresh rate, 60 FPS, 30 FPS, No Limit. 30 FPS can be useful for Replays for normal playback speed. Note: The game itself limits its FPS to 30 before you start your first online match.
On the top right corner you will see the current time played. When you start a game or replay, the timer is set to 0.
After you finished a game/replay or got defeated, the green timer pops up and shows you the time of last played game. It disappears when you start a new game.
You can use
F1 button to toggle the text size/on/off. Pressing the button a few times also shows you the key mappings in case you have problems remembering them.
The window and cursor enhancements as following are especially interesting for window mode players. By default your cursor now will be bound to the game. This helps you in not leaving the game while playing. Also the startup window position is set to the top left monitor corner. For your control, you will be able to toggle the window position to 4 presets with
F2 button. And cursor can be unlocked/locked with
F4 button.
