Changing Helbreaths Resolution

Promote · Post by **Promote** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 6:44 pm

Ive been messing around with counterstrike and you can change the resolution by typing in -w (with resolution) -h (height resolution) in the properties of the .exe or shortcut. I was wondering if it would be possible to change resolution of helbreath for you to see more tiles than other players ;x?

Even if you could, server only sends -14,-20,14,20 coords(I think it's 20) so you wouldn't REALLY be able to see farther. You'd just see more map with less objects in it.

yea I did that awhile back and just as she says, you can see all the client side stuff....trees, maptiles and all that junk but u cant see any NPC, character or anything else that is sent by the server until you get into the actual range of the info so it only has a few uses but its mostly useless if you cant see anything out of the range of anybody else...it would be like blindly fighting....it was kinda funny to confuse some ppl tho....oh yea...I didnt use the way of -w and -h on the shortcut...and Im pretty sure if you were able to do it that way then mostly likely your buttons wouldnt match up with the clients coords....so your hp gauge and all that stuff would be in the middle of the screen along with everything else

Even if you worked the client out completely to do this properly, I suppose the ONLY use of it would be to cast magic. If you were chasing someone you could cast ahead of them and even if they go off screen, you can still hit them a bit but you'd have to guess where they are.

Yes it's possible:

Then comes a display issue of using 800x600. 640x480 doesn't divide nicely into it making the font be a little sketchy long with some sprites.

I tried a fast fix to do that and it ended up making the fonts distorted because they were no longer the same sizes due to 640x480 not being a multiple of 1024x768.

Nice! Thatd be good for keeping your inv open just out of the normal display area without obscuring your view of play.. same with access to your spells ect.
What was this qucik fix u did? I want to do it now

800x600 is 1.25 times 640x480 and 1024x786 is 1.6 time 640x480 so it should look ok if u ask me! Its onlyu when change the hight and width by differnt multiples you should have problems!

Hmm so if its the servers problem not sending enough info, couldnt you mod it so it DID show past the normal 640x480 res? if so Q, maybe we could impliment this in celestial
