Tactical Map Monitor
« on: November 02, 2010, 02:59:00 PM »
Hey everyone,

First of all, I think I can't thank you enough for this astunishing and most of all professional mod! My friends and I started playing CofH again after EF and we're now back at playing several online games a week. It feels much saver with the Red Army on your side ;)

Anyway, next weekend I'm going to play soms CofH with some friends of mine. I currently have 2 27" @ 1920*1080 and it would be absolutely great if we could use one of these monitors to display the tactical map of the current game.
The problem is that, as far as i could find, there is no such thing as dual monitor support in CofH and I guess that it's neither possible to open up the tactical map parallel to the game window.
Is there any other option to achieve the same result? Like using another computer to start CofH and join the game as 'spectator'?

Thanks in regards,
Iska

PS: bad english can be blamed on my dutch heritage ;)

I know I've seen it way back in 2006/2007, before Opposing Fronts. Haven't seen it since. You could see if you can find that, might still work.

I've checked Google for quite a while and some people claimed to have seen it working. The problem is that I can't find any conformation of that (same for the link you posted)
