I have now added vertical FOV which is worked out from the new desired horizontal FOV. :onethumb


I just await to hear from Ibrin so that it may be updated on the site. :)

EDIT:- Update sent and recived by Ibrin.

Thanks for the kind words, and oh this project is very much still in progress, I have been quietly working on how to manage the content of the various .res config files, as it was getting hard to manage all the various configs and incrementative code for the values that need changing, so I have recently made some great improvements and hope to have something to present to you folks in the coming weeks.

Some of the improvements can already been seen with regards to the calculator which has now officially replaced the previous WSGF FOV calc.
This will be incorporated into the new HUD editor which is designed to update the config files in real time as the values input into the calculator changes :D

Some good things to come :D

TF2 is the first game that will be added, with L4D2 next and then L4D1, after that I may require assistance form this WSGF community as I do not own any other source engine based games.

I see the broken calc... I am away from home atm (using remote desktop), I shall try fix asap.
However of cause keep your eyes pealed for a whole new layout and calc coming soon :D

If anyone from the WSGF wishes to assist me with adding other games that I do not own, then the information I would need would be like the following...

Game:
.res filename:
.res sectionname:
.res xpos default value:

for example...
Game: L4D2
.res filename: ScoreBoard.res
.res section name: scores
.res xpos default value: 0

Game: L4D2
.res filename: ScoreBoard.res
.res sectionname: ServerName
.res xpos default value: 20

etc

Exciting stuff.

Delphium, PM me your Steam ID or add me to your friends list. I'm GeneralAdmission, of course. Capital 'A' for Admission...there's another guy using my handle with lower-case 'a'. You should also join the WSGF Steam group if you haven't done that yet.

Hey Delph!,

not working for me, old boy. Try putting in 4800 x1200 and get "To shift the HUD by 1 screen('s) we need to increment the xpos values by: 640".

640 sounds awfully low for that res doesn't it? Surely we should be talking more like 1200 pixels. Looking at the script generated the values don't even get onto the middle screen. It seems to think that I'm playing at 640x480.

Any ideas?

You might think so, however the steam engine works from a 640x480 res and ratios everything to match, for example I use a resolution of 3x1920x1080, which equates to a value of 853 per screen, this then shifts the HUD perfectly onto the center screen to where it would be if it was on a single screen.

As such, you can essentialy work out the xpos value per screen with the following examples

480*16/9=853
480*16/10=768
480*5/4=600
480*4/3=640
etc

Here is a before and after shot of using the value of 853 on my setup.




My calc gives the ability to work out the position automaticly when even using bezal compensation and any number of screens using the same res (least at present).
