I need a bit of help with aspect ratio..

[Daedra]

So here's what's up.

 

I have a laptop at full resolution 1366x768. I always load JKA in an 600x800 window which I have to do because the higher resolutions in the game options just make it stretch and look horrible. I basically need some type of command or particular file I can put in my base folder that will permanently fix this so the game will run with the 1366x768 ratio in the game options, which won't stretch and will look how it is supposed to.

 

I appreciate any help at all it's been a problem for me ever since I purchase JKA years ago.

In the Base folder, there is a cfg.-file called autoexec. Just add these commands:

 

set r_customWidth 1366

set r_customHeight 768

set r_mode -1

vid_restart

cg_fow 97 (or try 80 or 95 if necessary. 90 if it's a 16:10 screen)

 

It's not a perfect solution, as the menus are stretched to fit the screen, but at least

you can play the game in widescreen.

I cannot find an autoexec file just jaconig.cfg

You can make one by yourself. Just create a new text file (called autoexec)

and replace the .txt with .cfg.

 

or

 

1. Copy the jaconfig.cfg to the desktop.

2. Rename the file into autoexec.cfg.

3. Delete every command in the file and replace it with

the commands above.

4. Put the file into the Base folder.

 

The game loads the file automatically, so you don't have to type anything into the console.

Thanks got it, best answer!

That won't fix the UI or the HUD.  This requires a lot of code changes.

 

Also, OpenJK has FOV aspect correction and the fov is not capped as much as base.
