Hi there,

in the Version 1.0xxx it gaves some Option that ican Change my Resolution to 1280 x 800 that is a Usefuloption for some MobilePC user with Widescreen.
Give it any way to change some File to get this Resolution?
That would be Great. Or better: Implement it in the Game

Big THNX for this great Game.

You can get that resolution from the console. That is the easiest way.

Code: Select all

vid_width 1280
vid_height 800
vid_restart

Wow thnx for this fast answer. I have searched again and found it now in the config.cfg .... i must be blind ^^

But very thnx =)

I agree. Widescreens are becoming more popular, and their resolutions should be available in the menu.

Adding new resolution to the menu is really easy, but since i don't have a widescreen LCD, i don't know which resolutions are commonly used.
If you provide me a list, i could add them...

Dave's List of Common Screen Resolutions:
(w) indicates widescreen resolution

640x480
800x600
1024x768
1152x864
1280x800 (w)
1280x1024
1440x900 (w)
1680x1050 (w)
1600x1200
1920x1200 (w)

These resolutions should all be options on the menu.
I do not think any other resolutions should be built into the menu.

Edit: Replaced 1600x1050 with 1680x1050

Dave wrote:1600x1050 (w)

Are you shure about that one? The other widescreen resolutions are all 16:10...
And is there a 1024x640 resolution?

Edit: there already is 1600x900 in the menu, i think that makes more sense since it's 16:9

Will the next verison of Nexuiz support 1152 x 864 in the menu choice ?

Is their a config file I can add the vid screen commands to , so every time I load nexuiz I dont have to type the commands ??

Yes, i've already added that to my local copy, just have to commit it.

If you change the resolution from the console, like Ed described, it will be saved when you quit Nexuiz. So you just need to type those commands once

I am sure. WSXGA+ is common with Dell and Apple displays.

Not really.

KadaverJack wrote:Edit: there already is 1600x900 in the menu, i think that makes more sense since it's 16:9

16:10 is more popular than 16:9, in Computer Displays. Replace this with wsxga+.

Dave wrote:16:10 is more popular than 16:9, in Computer Displays. Replace this with wsxga+.

I added both, can't hurt to have the choice

It can hurt to cycle through 13 choices, some people won't have the patience to keep clicking the TextSwitch.
Anyone who wishes to run in 1600x900 or 2048x1536 resolution should set up their resolution through the console.
If people have the hardware to run very high resolutions, they should be intelligent enough to set up custom resolutions.
It is good that widescreen is now included in the options, but 13 is a bit too much.

Removing 2 resolutions doesn't really make a difference imho.
But i don't really think that it's a big problem because
1) you can cycle the list in bot directions and
2) you usually don't change your resolution on a daily basis

I think its ok to have some Resolutions, better more then to low, or?
Some users are not interestet enough to went to a Forum and find out how u can make a new Resolution. I need 3-4 days to come here... it was dumb but im fowl ^^

Its a good way to give more resolutions i think

Have a Nice Day

1280x720 is very common (widescreen TVs use this a lot, and these almost always has vga/dvi input)

I hope you aren't *too* sure about that, because it's 1680x1050
Also, 960x600 is also a somewhat common low-res widescreen mode as well.
And 1280x960 is a very common resolution (4:3 as opposed to 5:4 of 1280x1024) for CRT users.

So my update to Dave's list would be:

640x480
800x600
960x600 (w)
1024x768
1152x864
1280x800 (w)
1280x960
1280x1024
1440x900 (w)
1680x1050 (w)
1600x1200
1920x1200 (w)

Also, a list of 16:9 resolutions (televisions)
854x480 (EDTV)
1280x720 (720p/i)
1366x768 (LCD)
1920x1080 (1080i/p)

So it seems a 4:3 (Standard), 16:10[8:5] (PC Widescreen) and 16:9 (Television Widescreen) selection would be userful for defining arrays of resolutions.

What about rather than defining resolutions in the menu, running a query for all of the available resolutions given by the driver? I would favour that approach as then people would almost always have the correct native resolution available, however obscure it is. Looking through the nVIDIA driver, there are quite a few I've never seen as a native resolution but somewhere someone may want them.

Yeah that would be nice but i think its not very easy to do (if possible at all) with the current menu code..

thanks
8 and 0 blend together and start looking the same when I am sleep-deprived.

It should be 1680x1050, most 20 inches LCD monitors use this resolution

I use ViewSonic W2025WM, but I can't choose this resolution from the option dialog, I hope 1.6 or 1.5.1 will have this option.

Play this game with widescreen is very excellent.

I corrected that resolution in SVN after Willis' post and yes, it will be selectable in 1.6.

For the time being, you can set the resolution manually. Open the console (press [shift]+[esc]) and enter

Code: Select all

vid_width 1680
vid_height 1050
vid_restart

close the console with [esc]. (of course you can replace 1680/1050 with any values you like, you only have to do that once, the settings are saved when you quit the game)

Moved. this has nothing to do with editing.
