| Post subject: | Urban Chaos 1999 MuckyFoot Widescreen? |
Hey everyone at Widescreen Gaming Forum! For years, I've been playing one of my favorite games ever created: Urban Chaos! It's probably the first "true" sandbox game, and it set the path for games like GTA. It works on all operating systems today, but unfortunately, it doesn't work with ATI's drivers. All of my Nvidia computers play the game fine. However, with my widescreen monitor, this game looks pixelated and just looks downright ugly. Does anyone know how I could get it to display my native widescreen resolution? I know Urban Chaos is a DirectX 7 based game. In terms of trying to get it to display using a widescreen resolution, I've tried the ureschanger patch, but it didn't work. I've looked for registry settings, but there are none, and this game was made in 1999. However, I have tried hex editing the fallen.exe executable, and I have found some entries regarding resolutions and settings. Here's my config file for the game: Code: [Game] language=textlang_English.txt scanner_follows=1 iamapsx=0 [LocalInstall] textures=1 sfx=1 speech=1 movies=1 [TextureClumps] enable_clumps=1 [Render] estimate_detail_levels=0 detail_stars=1 detail_shadows=0 detail_moon_reflection=0 detail_people_reflection=0 detail_puddles=0 detail_dirt=1 detail_mist=0 detail_rain=1 detail_skyline=0 detail_filter=1 detail_perspective=1 detail_crinkles=0 fix_directx=0 video_card=0 video_truecolour=1 video_res=4 Adami_lighting=1 max_frame_rate=30 draw_distance=22 [Audio] run_sound_dialog=1 ambient_volume=127 music_volume=127 fx_volume=127 3D_sound_driver=Microsoft DirectSound3D hardware support dodgy_psx_sound=0 [Joypad] joypad_kick=4 joypad_punch=3 joypad_jump=0 joypad_action=1 joypad_move=7 joypad_start=8 joypad_select=2 joypad_camera=6 joypad_cam_left=9 joypad_cam_right=10 joypad_1stperson=5 [Keyboard] keyboard_left=75 keyboard_right=205 keyboard_forward=200 keyboard_back=208 keyboard_punch=29 keyboard_kick=28 keyboard_action=57 keyboard_run=47 keyboard_jump=42 keyboard_start=15 keyboard_select=0 keyboard_camera=207 keyboard_cam_left=211 keyboard_cam_right=209 keyboard_1stperson=30 [Gamma] BlackPoint=0 WhitePoint=256 [Movie] play_movie=1 [Video] Mode=-1 BitDepth=10 I believe the video mode is set by the video_res=4 entry in the config.cfg file. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find where this setting is read or set. I can change a couple of numbers as to the video modes it will display on the launch screen, but it does not actually change the resolution; it only changes the text. If I could find the entry for video_res 4, I might be able to change it to 1920 x 1080. I've attached a couple of screenshots regarding what I've changed using the hex editor. The executable can be downloaded here: http://www.dinofly.com/files/urban_exe.zip Can anyone help? There must be a way to play this game using a widescreen resolution. Any help is appreciated. |

This game is still one of my all time favorites, I have tried for a long time to get this to work in 1920 x 1080 but still no luck. I'll try to figure something out. |
