Running SMAC/x in a window

[TheSmitty]

Is it possible to run SMAC in a window instead of full screen?

Thanks

Not AFAIK, although there is an undocumented way to get it to run at really high resolutions. You put "DirectDraw=0" into your Alpha Centauri.ini file, and it will leave the resolution alone when you enter the game. I normally run at 1600x1200, and playing is really nice at that size. On tiny maps, I can actually get the entire map on the screen and it's still very readable. On normal sized maps I can see about 60% of the map at once.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work with regular SMAC.
