Custom resolution.

Post by ishowernekked »

Those who play windowed will agree, 4:3 sucks.

As I recall, some people managed to set custom resolutions to get around this inconvenience. Can anyone show me how?

tyvm in advance.

To do this, you first do /r_mode -1. Then you pick your values for r_customheight and r_custom width. Then do a /vid_restart to make the changes happen.

Note: JKA doesn't really support widescreen. Yes you can force a 16:10 or other ratio, but it'll just be a stretched version of 4:3 and would therefore look the same if you were fullscreened. That's another reason why I stick to windowed on a widescreen monitor -- just means I can put other things next to my 4:3 window (IM, demo folder, etc). I prefer to not be oblivious to the rest of my computer while in the video game :)

The thing shulba posted is sil's mod, which actually adds more custom resolutions that you can pick from the graphics settings. Mostly a feature for those who are too lazy/stupid to just do what I outlined above.

since I never knew a sieger named "Flyer," I guess that just forces me to assume I'm better than you :)
