Tribes Vengance centered UI

Post by fuzioninfinity »

I picked up Tribes Vengeance for 5 bucks the other day after seeing it, thought it looked cool and I needed something to play! I have it working great across 3 screens, however I read in this thread: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=472&start=0&hilit=tribes+vengance .. That Paddy had centered his UI on the middle monitor...
Here in Surround using the Matrox Parhelia I have moved the HUD on to the center screen....

..however he didn't explain how to do so, and I'd appreciate it if any of could explain to me how to do this, thanks! :D

Hello ...
I can't remember how I fixed it for the center screen ... I think this may be what I did ...

Is there a line in the ... TV_CD_DVD.ini ... under the heading ... [WinDrv.WindowsClient] ... that says ... ScaleHUDX=1.000000 (or similar)?
If so try changing it to ... ScaleHUDX=0.333333.

Also ... please can you fix your sig to meet the rules ...
From the sig page ...

Yes, this is normally what you do with UE2 games: replace the ScaleHUDX= value from 0.0 to 0.333333. It doesn't seem to work for the SP demo of TV, though :?

Terribly sorry about the signature! Fixed.

This doesn't appear to be working on the retail version of the game either. I changed it from 0.0 to 0.3333, and it was still not centered. :( In fact, it didn't appear to change at all.

Sorry bud ... I just can't remember what I did to move the HUD.
The only thing I can think of is that there may be a different or another ini file somewhere with the setting ScaleHUDX=
