Widescreen Gaming Forum

So i made the game accept 1680x1050, but it's all so close up...

Can't I edit the camer height by at least 100%? I know you people made this fix for battle for middle earth 2, I am hoping you can do the same for part1.

Thanks for reading!

The BFME2 mods required quite a bit of work. I can add BFME1 to my project list, but honestly I don't know when I'll have the time to produce a mod for it.

Thanks for the reply.. well I was hoping it to be simple, just some edit of some values...

But thanks anyway ;)

I'll try to give it a quick look sometime soon. When or if I manage to create a fix/mod I'll post a note in this thread.

I'd love to have Widescreen Edition for Bfme1 too. :)

I tweaked all the maps including multiplayer maps, uuuuhhh... it was huge work and almost took ½ hour to do the very repeative work. :o

I wanted to it to remain as close as the original (4:3) as possible and so I changed the camera zoom out "only" +33% (400 from 300 for the most maps) so it should be perfect for 16:9 and maybe a bit further for 16:10 than in vanilla 4:3 screen.

Vanilla 5:4


Before 16:9 (vert-)


After 16:9 (hor+)


Make a backup of Maps.big and extract this file to your bfme folder. Or you can also use it as a mod. This should work with all versions as far as I can tell, but atleast with 1.03.

Nice job :onethumb
You guys should join forces for complete WS/TH Enhanced mods for BFME1 to be released... someday.

Nice!! Too bad Im already finished with the game for coming years :(
I finished all campaign on hard.

I registered just to say thanks! I have both the BFME games, and the expansion, but nothing quite compares to the simple elegance of BFME 1. With the map mods, I don't have to feel like my face is in the ground while I'm playing. Now all we need are some updated textures... :cP

Could someone up the modded maps to another site, or send me the file?

Thanks.

Sorry for posting the same reply 2 times, had some problems with the internet.

Its doable, you have to edit each individual map. Think it took me about 15 mins to do it all (did it about a month ago).

There is a great youtube video guide on this.

Please ignore the fact that it talks about BFME 2 the principle is the same for the first one.

The camera default is 300 if I remember. I changed it to 1000.

Works a treat.
