How to select a widescreen resolution

[morgwin]

Hi,

 

I was curious if Openjk supported more resolutions. I can't seem to select them using the ingame options.

 

Thanks.

I'm not sure but I just use a bit of code.

 

Add this to "autoexec.cfg" in your Base folder, if you haven't got one, create one :

 

set r_customWidth "1366"

set r_customHeight "768"

set r_mode "-1"

vid_restart

cg_fov "97"

 

Change custom width and height to the resolution you want

I had to use "exec autoexec" in console, Will that affect OpenJK at all?

Affect how?

Also cg_fovaspectadjust 1

I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't affect the Openjk settings.

 

 

Also cg_fovaspectadjust 1

As long as you don't mess with the in-game resolution settings, your game will always run with the cfg you specified

Strange, I've made the autoexec.cfg file and put it in the base folder, but the game claims that it doesnt exist, even when i do /exec autoeexec from the main menu. Did I miss something?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot to enable showing of file extensions on this computer. I apparently saved the file as a .cfg.txt by mistake.

OpenJK's SP looks for autoexec_sp.cfg fwiw.

 

Also if you type /exec and press the tab key after the space it should give you list of the cfg files.

"set r_mode -2"  <--- Is probably the simplest solution though, since it makes openjk take current desktop resolution.

The game has ALWAYS supported widescreen resolutions.  Its just a matter of using the console.  The menu will not be extended in OpenJK.  Breach of EULA of the Game's installer to distribute modified menus or any assets with the intention that they are not being used with the original game.

It would crop the view instead of expanding it, though, putting you at a disadvantage for the mere fact that you're on widescreen (which OpenJK fixed with cg_fovaspectadjust CVAR).

This is the best yet simplest solution thanks
