Okay, so I pulled up the Edit Players list, always my first move, and then I can't even get to the bottom of the list because the menu is too large for my screen apparently. Below is the link to the screen shot. I have Windows 7 but I run WB through Windows Vista(Service Pack 2) to make it more compatible. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e302/Tankcommander128/ScreenShot.png Help? Edit; Oh and I have already tried hiding the task bar and moving the window up. Neither work.

Try using the 'Window' Option along the top Menu Bar. 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x800 Experiment a little and find out which is best suited.. HTH

Do what Gren said or even just change the resolution of your screen.

That only changes the worldbuilder resolution not the extra editing menus.

Then it probably has to be as Lildavdog suggested.. change the resolution of your screen. The Worldbuilder manual suggests: [b]Prior to starting Worldbuilder, set your display resolution to 1152 x 864 or higher in the Display control panel. For information on how to set your display, see your Windows® Help file.[/b] I have dual screens which are set to 1680x1050 and 1280x1040 with no problems - Try different ones and see which is best to handle the extra dialogue windows.

I actually have that problem too!, My resolution is set on the highest and still I can't see the bottom buttons, and dragging does not help. I think EA did not add the arrows that changes the menu size for smaller resolution computers. I have a laptop at 1366x768.

Posted by: joey55 - Friday, July 1, 2011 3:33:33 AM
i have 1280 pixels by 800 pixels and thats the highest resulution i can, it just has to do with the size and form of your screen and the pc...i think? ps: hi Gren[smile]

Yes I've had the same issue and can't see the Add Skirmish Players button. I can barely see and add players one by one. Being unsure of the exact player configuration for RA3 maps I didn't want to add players one at a time. I know in a way it's cheating but I used a map with players already setup then wiped the map clean removing all objects, setting base elevation and paint texture to start new renaming the map. Anyway, that's how I got around this issue.

Well it seems a lot of laptop users suffer from this problem, where the res isn't available.. Perhaps a simple way round it is to use CRL+ALT+P to pull up the Player List screen, then TAB 6 times down to the Add Skirmish Players button, then hit ENTER. TAB once more to the OK button and ENTER again. [grin] [wink]

I don't understand why my map happened last night when I tried to create one.. I don't know was the game problems or was my laptop screen problems.. I placed some of the structures like Oil Derricks on the most side of the map.. When I was in the game, those building was in the dark side of the mini map, so I was quite surprise that what will those building became in the field.. So I went to have a look. My god.. Those building that were on the dark side of the mini map weren't appeared on the field.. Means that my map was some sort of "too big to fix the game". Example: My field was 10 feet wide, but only 9 feet wide of my field appeared in the game and the remaining 1 foot disappeared.. I hope you know what I mean, cuz I already deleted the map, so I can't show you guys the map here.. ==
