Find out what resolution your desktop has: Right-click with mouse on desktop, Click on Properties, Settings(nvidia).

 

ATI(AMD): In Win7: Control Panel(View:Small Icons), Appearance and Customization, Screen Resolution.

 

If there's no Control Panel in Start menu: type: control panel in the search box at the bottom of the Start Menu and then choose

 

Control Panel from the list of results.  OK, Now You have the screen resolution.

 

Start ET with It's shortcut, Press: Esc, Click on Options, System.

 

Keep Clicking on resolution, It will change: The largest ones are: 1280*1024, 1600*1200 and 2048*1536.

 

Leave it with the value showing the closest value to the desktop. Set connection(At bottom) to: LAN/DSL.

 

Then press Apply.  That should let You minimize ET to the desktop and back to the game.

 

Each Mod(Jaymod etc...) has a profiles folder in It.  There's another folder for the user: "You" with

 

a file: etconfig(config file).  I set My desktop resolution for the game there by editing.

 

But You should just try setting the resolution ingame first and see what happens when You play at servers.

 

You may need to set the resolution while connected to a gameserver(using mods) to get minimizer to work right,

 

But don't forget to set connection>LAN.

 

Good Luck!

I'm on 1600*900 and minimizer find it well

 

on Et Option  / System / resolution if i try  1600*1200 it's not working

Consol error appair and say GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem - (this is just the end as its very long)

 

The more i can reach is 1152*854 but the game dont fill all the windows and is on the left so i see my desktop behind :unsure:

For the moment i use 1024*768 its in the middle but if i minimize to go to desktop after when i come back it's small

 

 

/r_customwidth 1280

/r_customheight 1024

/r_mode -1

Always works for me :3

Just i forgot but i'm using a laptop

Thanks rendel so yes its changing the resolution but when i use minimizer (alt + x) for me i can go here

When i want to get back to ET i type Alt X again and it seems i'm like on 800*600 or smaller

Put Rendel's autoexec file into etmain folder and all the mod's folders.

 

Start ET, Open ET console(Press ~, The key to the left of One key).

 

Type into console:/exec autoexec.cfg [Press Enter].

 

If laptop doesn't have ~ key, We can change Key that opens Et console(Later).

 

This should set resolution in etmain\Profiles\'You'\etconfig.cfg.

 

Minimizer should then be working correctly and when you go play.

Ok i copy in jaymod and silent

but for Noquarter there is already a folder with manylines

Same tor "ETMAIN" there is already autoconfig

 

I can post those files here if you want to see it. Perhaps we just have to change something inside and not all

Well you can just rename that autoexec I posted to some other name, like alpha.cfg.

 

The autoexec on nq folder has already saved the settings you have tweaked, so leave it be like everywhere else also.

Ok i'll try this !

 

By the way seems etkey dont keep "guid" so for next members who will read this topic you will have to update new guid on forum i think

Did you put the etkey in etmain folder?

 

Also if you have windows vista/7, etkey can be located elsewhere also, you need to first make all folders visible.

I can look this tomorrow if still needed, need some sleep for a while :D
