Does anyone know of a way to setup renegade so that it will show up with the correct aspect ratio on widescreen monitors? Currently I can select the resolution, however, it is 4:3 streched to 16:9 mode Whats That

I'm using 1280 x 800 resolution with my laptop and it's working
fine. Except the map loading progress bar not being showed :/

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

You mean 16:10, unless you're trying to play Renegade on an HD LCD TV.

Ooh, how I would love to do that on our 32" TV. Very Happy

I'm pretty sure it's 16:9, since if it was 16:10 they'd just say 8:5.

actually yes you are right, computer lcds are 16:10, or 8:5 (I guess they have 16:10 to make sound familiar with 16:9)

But anyway, right now if you run a 8:5 resolution, the game will still render a 4:3 picture but it will be streched to fit an 8:5 viewing pane. Hence your chars will appear short & fat. Same thing when trying to watch a non 16:9 tv show in widescreen mode, they appear short & fat.

anyone have a fix/patch for this?

Any game is capable of outputting widescreen resolutions, they just need to have the option available. People have figured out how to get games like Battlefield 1942 and Age of Mythology to set to resolutions like 1680x1050.

It seems that Renegade cannot handle widescreen resolutions properly... I get the same problem. The buttons overlap the pause screen but other than that, the game runs fine.

both my laptop and home pc have wide screens. and they both work perfectly! the only issue i have is with the loading screens. the bar doesnt show. but since my 2 pc's are fast. it doesnt reli matter.

i think i used the custom settings changer 2 set my res, i think i downloaded it from a link on these forums.

Unfortunately, I think Ren is locked at a 90° FOV, no luck there. I've had the same problem.

It is possible to change the fov by editing cameras.ini, however...
You cant use it online
I haven't found a way to make it look worth while.

I think you can edit it elsewhere, so you dont need camaras.ini.
Ill talk about it with StealthEye to see if it's possible.

I play at the highest resolution too, but I can't see the loading bar and a few things are squeezed tight together.

I've just tinkered with cameras.ini. It looks like increasing the FOV settings in there also scales the vertical FOV up accordingly, so you see more... but its still stretched Huh

I got it set so in third person, when looking level with the ground, 80% of the screen was the correct scale, but the edges stretched off, And when you looked at things at weird angles, it looked awful.

All widescreen displays (16:9 or 16:10) will stretch 4:3 images. They won't magically make them wide.

They don't necessarily stretch them, some times they also lop off the top and bottom and just show the middle. Course this wouldn't work in Ren, as you look basically loose access to all the critical information.

By default they stretch them. Some monitors have the option to crop the image, but it's just as bad.

4:3 images can also be pillerboxed via graphics drivers if a DVI connection is used or sometimes natively.
