1900X1080

[BeeDee]

I know there are some threads on getting your resolution in ET to 1900X1080. I have tried config and changing the target in the shortcut. i have also tried writing the lines in the game under ~ and it is still not working. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Do you mean 1920x1080? Here's the commands to make it work.

 

/R_mode -1

/R_fullscreen 1

/R_customwidth 1920

/R_customheight 1080

 

Then type in /vid_restart for the commands to take effect.

error error

open notepad, type this

seta r_mode -1

seta r_customwidth 1920

seta r_customheight 1080

seta r_customwidth 1920

seta r_customheight 1080

 

name it autoexec.cfg and put into etmainfolder

then in game do /exec autoexec.cfg

 

should do the trick

so i ran the auto exec and restarted ET and it did not work. So i went back in ran the auto exec then the /vid_restart and it restarted. Its covering the whole screen now but it is really zoomed in..

[BeeDee]

I have tried both of your suggestions and yeah its like super zoomed in half of the main menu is cut off.

I suggest just trying r_mode  with different numbers and see what happens

[RedBaird]

...but it is really zoomed in..

 

What is your /cg_fov?  

 

I just did  /cg_fov in my console and got:

 

]/cg_fov

"cg_fov" is:"96.093750" default:"90"

 

I have no idea how mine got to be that 'complex' number.  

 

I found that number in my etmain\etconfig and on all of the mods, soo....

[RendeL]

If you use that autoexec config, you need to add /vid_restart in the end for settings to take effect.

 

Also add the cg_fov [your preferred value here] in the cfg.

[BeeDee]

i trief cg_fov in the console and it didnt like it. under the exec tab on the main menu it is at 90

[BeeDee]

i lied its 0 when i restart the game. And that is under the autoexec tab on the main menu

[Smileyyy]

Is cg_fov 0?

[Haruhi Suzumiya]

Set cg_fov to like 106.27 to match your aspect ratio. You can just add it to that auto exec. Do a quick Google search and you'll find the exact number.

 

Add vid_restart at the bottom of your auto exec to make it restart upon execution. Don't put a / in front of the command.

Sounds like your ui is not scalling properly to your specified resolution. If solutions provided above don't work for you try this.

cvar_restart
seta r_fullscreen 1
seta r_mode -1
seta r_customwidth 1920
seta r_customheight 1080
seta r_customaspect 1
seta ui_r_fullscreen 1
ui_restart
vid_restart

Type those one by one in console in main menu, after you're done press exit game -> yes. After that you should be able to normally play with 1920x1080 with proper ui scalling.

i cant figure it out to save my life. still wont work

[r3wind3r]

I had similar problems and autoexec.cfg wouldn't work for me.

 

My solution:

 

1) create a textfile named my.cfg with the following content and put that file into the etmain folder that is located in you application folder:

seta r_customwidth 1920
seta r_customheight 1200
seta r_mode “-1” // r_mode determines screen resolution: 1 = 400*300 , 2 = 512*384 , 3 = 640*480 , 4 = 800*600 , 5 = 1024*786 - ( -1 means we are using a custom screen resolution)
seta cg_fov “100.39”

vid_restart

 

if these values don't fit your resolution just use your desired resolution values and search the web for the suitable cg_fov (field of view) value.

 

2) delete all etconfig.cfg in all mod folders (etmain/profiles, jaymod/profiles ...). Don't worry they will be generated again when you restart the game. You can also move them to any backup location.

 

3) start the game, open console and type

/exec my.cfg

 

4) join a server and repeat step 3

 

do step 3 on every mod/server you play!

 

then the above data is written to the generated etconfig.cfg.

every mod has its own etconfig.cfg. once data is stored there you won't have to do it again.

 

5) have fun

 

6) repeat step 5

 

7) repeat step 6

 

8) guess what
