(Workaround) Jedi Knight 2 in 16:9 and 16:10

Hey,

nowadays people use computerscreens with a ratio of 16:9 or 16:10 instead of 4:3.
Jedi Knight 2 does not support such a ratio, but there is a way to use it anyways.

You have to change 3 settings in your config file. We could do it also directly ingame
via the console.

Open the console (shift+^) and type in the following:

Code:

r_mode "-1"
r_customwidth "1920" (replace it by your width)
r_customheight "1200" (replace it by your height)

Restart the game and enjoy your new resolution

It's recommendable to play around with cg_fov to adjust it to your new resolution.

In console again:

Code:

cg_fov "120" (find the one you like)

Here is a screenshot (click it to enlarge):

I hope it was useful to someone.

I have done this Deman but the results where awefull.
With a resolution setting 1280x1024 my screen driver manages to convert my 4:3 screen to wide screen with still nice graphics.
Maybe it is my nvidia card but with the suggest setting i couldnt live.

1280x1024 is 4:3 - The workaround was for ppl with a screen of another ratio. To fix it switch r_mode to 8.

In console:

Code:

r_mode "8"

*edit*
Btw. those 4:3 settings can also be done by the normal gamemenu itself =)

I am not clear enough i think.

With your suggested setting the graphics are awefull.With the normal setting the are better.

This is 16:9 - With the settings i mentioned it should work.

Maybe you have to change the fov to get rid of the fisheye effect.
Try the following in console:

Quote:

cg_fov "120"

You could post a screenshot.

Ok changed those settings through a autoexec.cfg.
Seems to work but not quit a lot of difference.
Anyway thx for the tip deman.

I'll have to give this a go once exams are over and I can go home and get all my games. Last time I played JK2 I still had a 4:3 monitor so I didn't even know there was a problem xD
