Widescreen Patch - WIP

YouTube · Post by **TronFAQ** » Wed May 28, 2008 10:36 pm

Well, I got sick of seeing the constant hits to my blog site and FAQ with the search term "tron 2.0 widescreen" so I decided to try and do something about it. I'd always meant to give this a shot . . . ever since I got a widescreen monitor myself. But seeing the constant searches finally motivated me.

Widescreen support for Tron 2.0 right now is a work in progress. I've had some success, but more work needs to be done.

I've fixed the aspect ratio in the game itself, when running at a widescreen resolution. But cutscenes are still distorted, as are the game menus and interface. I did manage to get the interface partially correct, but it's not there yet.

This patch isn't ready for primetime, so please don't ask me for it. Whenever I get it fully working, that's when I'll release it. I might release it on its own, or integrate it into the Killer App mod. Or possibly both. I don't know yet.

1680x1050 before:

1680x1050 after:

I can probably also make a patch that will work with some of the other Monolith games as well: like NOLF 2, Contract JACK, and possibly NOLF 1.

Wow, that'd be really awesome if you were to pull that off... this issue is keeping me from buying a new laptop for ages!! I use a Dell D600 now, with an ATI R9000 chip.

Really hope you get this done! Keep up the work

Unless you're seeing black bars on the sides of your screen, the distortion is there. But until you actually see the "before and after" shots, people might not notice it.

I have a widescreen, but I prefer to see my opponents all big and fat...makes them easier targets.

And when I have my LC cam horizontal - it makes my trail longer

Heh, maybe you guys like your characters and LCs fat (or is that phat?), but I want them to go on a diet. :lol: Besides, those distorted menu screens drive me nuts.
