Widescreen Gaming Forum

Extract the data folder to you Username | My Documents | Sniper - Ghost Warrior folder. These files will fix the stretched hud and center the Hud in middle screen for widescreen resolutions. It also fixes the sniper scope stretches. This is designed for 1570 X 1200 through 6000 X 1200 resolutions. You may need to make a custom resolution that's a multiple of this to get everything running right. If not you'll have to go into these files and tweak the scopes, and the HUD positions. It's a real pain. I also fixed the stretch menus and cursor; however, I was lazy and didn't take the time to center it on middle monitor. Not really worth the trouble. Started to do this, but too much code. The zoomed in movies are NOT fixed. I think this is a class embedded somewhere, but not in the packfiles. Not up for recompiling just for cutscenes. UBISOFT really needs to quit being so lazy. There was a lot of junk code from Call of Juarez in the packed files. Blech.

The following highlights the majority of the tags I used to tweak the HUD. For those who feel I've made the crosshairs too small, you'll need to start out by adjusting everything and lower the first entry down in resolution to increase the crosshairs and map size. I wouldn't go any lower than 4000 X 800 because the cursor gets big in a hurry! I didn't include the tags for the font size adjustments that need to be made to make it look clean, but that's Ubisoft issue. Even at 1920 X 1200 the hud is crammed with sloppy overlap. I will say that tweaking the HUD_Common.xui file is worth the effort because playing this game in triple-wide makes the game a lot more fun.

NOTE: IF anybody knows how to decrease the size of the objective orbs, please let me know. I can't figure out how to shrink them. I'd also like to shrink the font, but nothing seems to allow me to adjust the font next to the objective orbs. In case you don't know to what I refer, look at the original post and notice that in triple-wide the white orb blows up almost twice the size of single monitor setups. I HATE THAT

UPDATE: Figured out the tags that impact font sizes and ORB. You can tweak these yourself. Choosing a higher resolution will shrink them. Choosing a lower resolution will bump them up:

If someone knows how to fix the zoomed in cutscenes and tweak FOV, please provide the fix. This one is almost done. I suspect the only way to tweak fov and zoomed in cutscenes is through a memory hack. Wish I knew more about hex to get in there and fix it. I really want to tweak Sol Exodus and Call of Juarez Bound in Blood.

The higher the number, the more to the right the scope will move. The //middle number determines up and down position. The higher the number, the more down the scope //will move.

awesome! im been waiting for a fix for the HUD on this game before buying it, i play in 5760x1080

if it goes on a steam sale soon ill most likely get it

thanks for the great work!

Here's updated files, which address the objective orb that was ridiculously bulbous. I recommend you leave the very first entryin HUD_Common.xui at 6000 X 1200 and only make tweaks to the tags listed below:

You'll only need to tweak the <Postion> section for each to suit your bezel configuration. Don't forget that you need a negative sign before these two numbers. It's easy to miss in the examples below.
