[issues in NT4VU3 Alpha 2]

-Sysdm.cpl has not been patched because im not sure how to apply Marxo's sysdm.cpl but

can be found in extras folder.

-Newer logon screensaver is not patched but can be found in extras folder.

Hiya awergh,

Your patch is awesome! NT4 has never looked better.

My only question:

Any plans for a sound scheme?

Thanks for all your hard work!

[awergh]

dunno, havent thought about it much, i remember that on a vm i found teh soundscheme annoying , i didnt think the sound scheme in vista was very good so hmm

[PassingBy]

Hmmm .....

Thanks awergh ! much appreciated ..... Will give it a go soon ...

I'm wondering about daedalus, is it a non released stuff by alexanrs ? My apologies if I'm off topic but does daedalus implement only 32bit icon support or will it be able to integrate some other stuff in NT4VU (perhaps icon text bk) ?

Rgds

[marxo]

Daedalus is not yet to be discussed, you will be informed when the time is right, it is possible that it will include some other stuff.

Release: NT4VU3 Beta 2

[New Features in NT4VU3 Beta 2]

NT4 Server support.

Shell Update support reinstated again.

New Logon BMP

Seperation into Packages

[updated in NT4VU3 Beta 2]

Fixes here and there.

[Packages]

This build is Seperated into different packages. This means that you can choose to an extent what stuff you want which means the size should be smaller. The base package uses the NSIS installer present in previous versions, the other packages are zip archives which need to be extracted into the resources folder. For NT4 Workstation you need to choose either the standard shell which is the default shell or the shell update which comes with IE4. I have not made a shell update package for NT4 Server because I do not believe this necessary.

NT4VU3_B2_Base: The base package needed by everyone.

NT4VU3B2_IE6: Needed if you have installed IE6.

NT4VU3B2_Server: Needed if you have installed Windows NT4 Server.

NT4VU3B2_Workstation: Needed if you have installed Windows NT4 Workstation.

NT4VU3B2_Workstation_Shell-Update: Needed if you have installed the Shell Update on Windows NT4 Workstation.

NT4VU3B2_Workstation_Standared-Shell: Needed if you have not installed the Shell Update on Windows NT4 Workstation.

question

does this work w2k and if it does can you make it compatible with nlite where it will replace the icons on the cd with the patched ones like what xpize does

if it doesnt work could you point me to someone who is doing a simular project with 2000

Thanks

Richard

[awergh]

it probably works on 2000 though ive never tested it and it would patch stuff like it would patch nt4, mainly meaning the login screen would say nt4 instead of 2000 etc

vistapack however is designed to work on 2000
