[HELP]Changing resolution out of game.

[HELP]Changing resolution out of game.

Postby RDNic72 » 30 Mar 2012, 21:44

Upon downloading this game,I was dissapointed to find that the default resolution would not fit my screen (all Igot was a blue screen).

As usuall, I looked on the internet about changing the resolution out of game to find that I should look for the init.cfg within my files which directory was stated on the site (I'm on Windows). But to my surprise I saw that there was no init.cfg file but only an empty log file. Please help as I really want to play this game with my friends who say that it is amazing.

Thanks.

From the manual page on linux:
{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
OPTIONS
       -dwwidth
              Sets screen width to width.  If height not specified, also sets height to 3/4 of width. min is 320.

              This configuration is stored in init.cfg
       
       -dhheight
              Sets screen height to height.  If width not specified, also sets width to 4/3 of height. min is 320.

              This configuration is stored in init.cfg


I would imagine it would be identical for the windows binary. You would run the windows *.bat launcher with those arguments, something like this:
{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
redeclipse.bat -dw1024 -dh768


PS, i don't think the init.cfg file is created unless any options have been changed (i may be wrong about this though). You could also try creating an empty init.cfg and simply adding
{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
screenres 1024x768

It is only created if RE shuts down cleanly, and is written regardless of anything being changed.

Thank you so much unixfreak.

I created a blank init.cfg file and then entered "screenres 1680x1050" and it worked! I'm going to start playing straight away!
