Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi, I've attached a 4:3 shot and a 16:10 shot.

BTW, I should have mentioned this guy's site, lol. It's also one of the top hits in google. I haven't tried it, but he claims it is a vert- solution also. He also claims he's still working on it, but he obviously isn't. As his screenshots ...

Hello--

Sorry to bump a really old thread, but this is the first result for "Soldier of Fortune Widescreen" in google. I wanted to describe in this thread how to get a widescreen resolution in SOF1. It's vert-, but the hard-coded FOV is 95, which I think is perfect for widescreen in a tactical ...

i too apologize for bumping a really old topic, but i would also like to get this working. i have something to contribute and something to request.

1. Getting a widescreen resolution in SOF1 is actually trivial. Use a hex editor and search for 80 02 00 00 E0 01. This is the 640x480 data. Change ...

I really liked the Quake 2 music. Made the game 100x better. :D

me too, I currently have it playing in winamp :)

I think that EVERYONE who plays Quake 2 should enjoy the music, widescreen users or not. Especially people who just got the game off Steam. Personally, I wouldn't even consider using or recommending a solution that didn't enable the music as long as a solution which does exists.

I certainly ...

Thanks a lot--actually, though, don't hurry to test it out. I've come to believe that a good widescreen-enabled exe would actually be an important contribution, and I should take the time to do it right. Accordingly, I've been in touch with knightmare (the guy behind kmquake ii, who is making an ...

Have you hosted that fixed .exe somewhere so we can test it? :)

Yes :) I've edited the link into the first post of the thread.

What's wrong with KMQuake2? I've played through the entire game and both expansions with it, and didn't notice anything wrong. And it has an automatic FOV scaler, making it unnecessary for WS users to mess with the FOV. Also, though this isn't related to widescreen, it works with the Music Patch ...

OKAY!

At this point, I am in some major politeness debt. I believe I can make up for it.

I have made a hacked exe! I did it! I'm so happy! Allows POV up to 130 without the gun disappearing, with widescreen resolutions. If you will forgive me my initial misbehavior, I think you should host ...

however, you're right, i definitely was exaggerating, and you seem to have known a lot more about this than i did. i beg your forgiveness. i think i need to grow up ...

update, i'd like to explicitly clarify that i'm an idiot.

1. the fixed .exe from the downloads allows does work with the mission packs. but, while it allows widescreen resolutions, it keeps a 90 degree FOV. increasing to 100 makes your gun disappear, and there is no native command to bring it ...

(edited to correct my idiotic mistakes.)

You are not making a good impression

Yes, I agree. Sorry.

Will something be done, though? If I start behaving better, can you show me how to fix the wiki?

ERR, EDIT.
@TANUKI: If you're able to change the wiki, here is some additional ...

We all knew about this but we had a pool going to see how long it was going to take before someone would notice.

I think DaFox won. Maybe he can help you?

:lol: that's really funny. why didn't anyone change it? there are a bunch of threads on the steam forums about people installing the ...

FINAL UPDATE: Knightmare, the fellow behind KMQuake, has released an unofficial quake 2 patch with perfect widescreen support. This renders a patched exe obsolete.

Previous stuff, disregard:
EDIT: idiocy removed. polite summary: aprq2 is not ideal for single player as it can break enemy AI. I ...
