Pharaoh, Zeus...on widescreen

[Loretta]

Yeah ! Thanks, this one is working for me : no crash, no compatibility mode required and no issue with accented letters ! If crudelios can make a 1920x1080 version of this exe, I'm a happy man !

What's your french Pharaoh edition ? CD, digital, Gold Edition ?

[Chuck Boris]

Cool
I hope Crudelios can make it !

I have the originals CD of Pharaoh Gold ^^

[crudelios]

Thanks Chuck Boris, I was trying to find a French exe that worked, but I had no luck so far.

I'll do it as soon as I have some time!

[crudelios]

Just a heads up, the french version of the widescreen patch is coming along nicely and should be ready in the next few days.

As it will also support custom resolutions (up to 8k), I can create a french version of the resizer.

Chuck Boris or Loretta, would you be interested in helping me translate the Pharaoh Resizer to french? It's a rather small translation, I'd place the phrases that need translating here and you would translate them to french for me.

Thanks!

[Loretta]

Awesome ! And of course I'd be happy to help for the translation

[crudelios]

The patched french version of the game is ready!

You can get it at: http://public.josecadete.net/Pharaoh-fr-1920x1080.exe

Please check for bugs or crashes!

The text for the translation will be coming up soon, thanks for the help!

[Chuck Boris]

Thank you Crudelios ! The game seems to work perfectly

Hi, thank you so much for working on a resolution fix for this game. It's hugely appreciated!

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. The game does switch resolution, but it seems to try to switch to resolution higher than 1080p. Large portions of the screen on the right and bottom are cut off (the right control panel is completely gone), everything is shifted bottom right and visible mouse position doesn't match actual position (for example, the "do you want to keep this resolution" popup appears on the bottom-right instead of the middle, but to hit the OK button I have to click in the middle of the screen, where the button should have been)

I have windows 8.1 64-bit and the GOG edition of the game (with expansion, version 2.1). And, just to be 100% clear, I am completely sure I am using the 1080p version of the fix and my monitor is 1080p.

Edit: Ah, I figured it out! My DPI is set to 125%, and it was breaking the game. After ticking "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" in properties of the .exe it works perfectly!

[crudelios]

orost, yeah, Pharaoh doesn't like a custom DPI scaling... Glad you could solve it!

Anyway, here is the french version of the Pharaoh Resizer, as promised:

[Chuck Boris]

It works perfectly thank you!!

[Loretta]

Damn, mail notifications didn't work for the last few messages ! Sorry for the delay but, as Chuck Boris said, everything works fine ! Thanks Chuck for the translation and huge thanks Crudelios for the time and effort you put in this.

Attached is the .exe of my game , if possible place in 4096x2160 or 3840x2160.

Hi there,

im having an issue with that. When im starting the file youve uploaded it gives me an error "Please insert the Pharaoh CD". The thing is though, I have the original CD which i bought 15 or so years ago.
Anyway to fix that?
Im using windows 10 and polish version.

[Coeli Lumen]

Hi!
Please help with a Russian version of the game Emperor. The game runs from a separate launcher version 1.0.0.0. (without patch)

[XJDHDR]

First, thank you Jackfuste and Crudelios for the work you've done to make widescreen work on these games.

I do have a question: How possible would it be to make Crudelios' Pharaoh resizer work with the other three city building games?
I imagine that Caesar 3 would require the same amount of work as Pharaoh whereas Zeus and Emperor would require a lot more effort due to the art assets that need to be recreated.

[Anythin]

Hello everyone,

I have been using jackfuste's widescreen fix for Zeus: Masters of Olympus. It has all been working excellent and I experience no problems while playing the game. However, currently I am trying to create my first adventure. The problem I experience arises when I try to edit the World Map. Jackfuste's widescreen fix included several resized world maps, which you can select in the World Map editing window. When I try to place a city, it is not possible to place this city outside the old resolution window (roughly the red square in the picture below). This means making a decent World Map is pretty much impossible. Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance!
