Widescreen Gaming Forum

Long overdue post here. Just wanted to drop you a line, dopefish, and says thanks for your awesome tool. I've only used it with BF2, but it works great.

How in the world do you do what you? I'm no programmer or developer, but I find it fascinating that you can produce a simple tool that modifies a game's FOV on the fly. Would you be interested in sharing a brief summary of your method, in layman's terms, of course. ;)

One more thing: why in the world hasn't a studio hired guys like you and Racer_S to implement proper widescreen support in their games?

edit
...or maybe you do work in game development and I just don't know it.

I don't think there's any way I could possibly explain how it works in layman's terms. :) It's very... complicated. I guess a way to explain how it works is that when you start up a game, it loads itself into memory. I simply modify the memory that's in use. There's a lot more to it than that and it's not just a simple modification; I actually write some of my own code into memory.

As for working for a game company, I'm open to anything. ;) I've never applied anywhere, but if a good offer shows up, who knows.

Anyway, thanks for appreciating the tool. :)

I figured your Kung Fu would be too advanced for an unschooled fighter like me. ;) :) Let me just get to the appropriate response...

:bowdown


...and thanks again!

v1.45 released.

* I have not had EB test this version. Use at your own risk.
* Added a Hotkeys.txt which will help you reassign the key.
* Added 3 x 16:10 to the list. (3 x 16:10 and higher WILL need tested.)

Ive installed vista64 and cant find wsf.ini

I cant therefore modify my hotkey because my keyboard is spanish and has a different layout.

wsf.ini will be in the same directory as WidescreenFixer.exe

Its not there... ive sarched in the entire drive and cant find it.

yes, BF2142 1.5 accept widescreens, just editing the BF2142 shortcut:
add: +widescreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1080

nothing else to do, and it works fine!

look at my screenshot:


or, if it doesn't work:

now, we need you, dear dopefish, to make it works on 3x 10:16!

we'd like to play BF2142 on maxtor triplehead2go, but we need
dopefish to make this dream comes true!

So what's the result of using this tool, having the image NOT cropped like it does when playing in widescreen with what the game offers itself?

edit: I don't understand what does the "3x " mean.

Yes, the image will be expanded, not cropped.

By "3x " he means having the game support resolutions with three monitors running off of a Matrox Triplehead2Go.
