1600x1200 and higher

[LabRat]

I routinely run my display at 1600x1200 and intend to upgrade my monitor to support the wonderful sounding 2048x1536.

 

I have tried altering the client to display at 1600x1200, but the options are greyed out in the options window, and changing el.ini just gives me the default, very pretty 640x480, not quite what I am trying to acheive at all.

 

Is there a limitation I am unaware of in SDL?

[Wytter]

it is possible. gl_init.c, setup_video_mode();.

I don't think there's a limitation in SDL, the client just seems to set the resolution out of several fixed modes:

 

switch(mode) {
                                               case 1:
   window_width=640;
   window_height=480;
   bpp=16;
   break;
 	case 2:
   window_width=640;
   window_height=480;
   bpp=32;
   break;
 	case 3:
   window_width=800;
   window_height=600;
   bpp=16;
   break;
 	case 4:
   window_width=800;
   window_height=600;
   bpp=32;
   break;
 	case 5:
   window_width=1024;
   window_height=768;
   bpp=16;
   break;
 	case 6:
   window_width=1024;
   window_height=768;
   bpp=32;
   break;
 	case 7:
   window_width=1152;
   window_height=864;
   bpp=16;
   break;
 	case 8:
   window_width=1152;
   window_height=864;
   bpp=32;
   break;
 	case 9:
   window_width=1280;
   window_height=1024;
   bpp=16;
   break;
 	case 10:
   window_width=1280;
   window_height=1024;
   bpp=32;
   break;
}

 

The resolution descriptions(for example " 1 = 640x480 16bpp") in el.ini seem to be just comments, and not actually bind video mode "1" with "640x480". It is hardcoded in the client, you'll have to change the client code.

 

-EDIT: Wytter beat me to it.

[Zep]

If I ever get the time, I'll have to look into the wide screen formats as well. The problem there is the mouse clicking vs multiple aspect ratios of the screen.

wide screen would be cool, So would some "central" configuration of the window modes.

[LabRat]

Guys thanks a lot, I will add it in as soon as I get home

Widescreen

now that would be cool

[Sistema]

my monitor goes up to 2048x1536

but the reso aint changing anything, all it does is stretch the thing....

if it would actually make a difference, it'd be great!

Changing the resolution improves the quality of the image and gives you more room on the bars. The super zoom patch is the closest you'll get too seeing more, but that has a limited usefull range because players etc are only available near you.

[Zep]

just for referance, I updated the patch for 32 bit also. Seems to work fine on linux, Didnt have the opertunity to test in windows, but it really is just a ccopy and paste with a few edits

[Wytter]

It's in CVS.
