-Installation Instructions
Unzip "etmin.exe" and optionally the loader examples to any folder
on your computer. Create a shortcut to etmin.exe from your desktop.
Please note that the server for the loader example 'autoconnect.cfg'
defaults to the Clan Paladin W:ET Server, to load the main menu
instead don't extract this file or delete it from the folder you
extracted the minimizer into.
-v0.18 Changes
Added a 3rd and 4th line to 'Startup.cfg'. Line 3 turns the use of
CTRL+Q to 'emergency quit' on(1) or off(0). This feature could not
previously be disabled. Line 4 is now the name of the EXE in the W:ET
program directory, change this to execute batch scripts or other
applications prior to loading W:ET.
-v0.17 Changes
*Bugfix: 'Startup.cfg' did not read properly and so command-line
passthru support did not work properly.
-v0.16 Changes
Added a new config file with options for startup, the first line of
'startup.cfg' should be a value of 0 or 1 where 0 will turn off the
'auto game load' feature. The second line of the file should be a
value of 0 or 1 where 1 will turn on 'command-line passthru', that
means that any command-line parameters you pass to etmin will be
passed to ET if the 'auto game load' feature is activated.
*Bugfix: On some systems the 'auto game load' feature did not work,
this problem has been corrected.
-v0.15 Changes
Previous versions would allow multiple "minimize" operations before a
maximize operation. This version requires that you after you minimize
the game then you must maximize it before you can minimize it again
(graphics problems could occur previously).
-v0.14 Changes
By request the default minimization key has been changed to CTRL+Z,
this can be changed in the manner specified in the v0.13 changes.
The W:ET Minimizer also now features the ability to re-maximize W:ET
by holding down CTRL+SHIFT+Z(1) and does NOT ALLOW the user to maximize
W:ET by clicking it in the taskbar. This feature was implemented to
protect the user from corrupting the game resolution when the game
uses a different size of screen than the desktop. This was not an
issue before because the minimizer did not record your resolution,
the only resolution that was used was the game resolution. Now the
minimizer records your desktop and game screen resolutions and
switches between them appropriately when you minimize or maximize
the game.
(1) Replace "Z" with whatever alphanumeric character is in the
minkey.cfg file. This function means that in both the maximize and
minimize functions the character used is the one placed in the config
file minkey.cfg, the only difference is whether you must press SHIFT.
-v0.13 Changes
*Actually appropriately labeled version number.
*Added check to make sure custom program is not already running.
The W:ET Minimizer now features the ability to customize
slightly the minimize key. Edit the file minkey.cfg (which
is included in the ZIP file) and place the letter or number you
like as the first character in that file, the minimize code will
be CTRL+. The W:ET Minimizer also now has
an autoconnect to W:ET server feature by using the included file
autoconnect.cfg (the example connects to Clan Paladin's W:ET
server). The first and only line of this file is the server you
would like to connect to in the format:. Debug code
added to functions when loading programs, if you recieve a message
formatted like this:
Unable to load W:ET, load it yourself! (Error Code)
Please send me the message using my feedback form!
-v0.12 Changes
The W:ET Minimizer now features an autoload external
application function. Create a file in the same folder as
etmin.exe that is named autoload.cfg (there is an example
included in your minimizer ZIP file). The first line is the
name of your application, the second line is the command-line
to send the application, the third line is the title of the
application (used to find the window), the fourth line is a
'force minimize' line - set to 1 to force the loaded application
to be minimized or set to 0 to have it load at its default size,
and the fifth line is the 'force to close' - set to 1 to force
the loaded application to close once W:ET Minimizer closes.
-v0.11 Changes
If W:ET Minimizer is exited and restarted while W:ET is
still running it will not attempt to open W:ET again. Do
NOT load two session of W:ET, it will cause the graphics
of the first one to go crazy.
-Loading W:ET Minimizer
W:ET Minimizer must be loaded BEFORE W:ET, the minimizer
will wait until W:ET loads to find the handle to the W:ET
window. As a bonus, W:ET Minimizer will attempt to start
W:ET when loaded, it will tell you to do it yourself if it
cannot. Let me know how this works! I've only tested it on
XP but the API calls should work on any Windows OS.
-Using W:ET Minimizer
I didn't put in a way to customize the keystroke yet,
ask me if you want this (or anything else) to happen.
Keystroke CTRL+Q closes the program safely
(unregisters keystroke, should cause no problems
to force it to quit by going CTRL+C with the prog open).
Keystroke CTRL+M minimizes W:ET. To maximize W:ET again
click the W:ET icon in your taskbar, this will
re-initialize the DirectX engine. CTRL+Q is designed for an
ingame minimizer exit, the minimizer should exit automatically
when W:ET closes.
-The Console Window
Because it's easier for me there is currently no GUI, shoot
me a message with my feedback form if you want a GUI or some
other feature. The form is located at:
http://www.compholio.com/feedback.php
-Responsibility
I'm NOT responsible if this program screws up your computer.
I believe this program works effectively and minimizes W:ET
correctly with no side effects, and if it doesn't work with
your computer setup I'm sorry. Feel free to contact me via
the feedback form and I'll try and fix whatever is broken,
but there are no guarantees.
