Alternate resolutions in D3?

Sligar · Post by **Sligar** » Thu Mar 04, 2004 12:04 pm

I just got a video projector that I want to run D3 on, its native resolution is 1280x720. Is there a way to change D3 settings someplace to allow it to switch to this resolution? I figure I'm just stuck with the standard choices, but thought I'd ask.

Yeah, there sure is.

The D3 Readme wrote: -width <width> Sets the screen resolution to the specified width, if possible.

-height <height> Sets the screen resolution to the specified height, if possible.

Don't forget though, that changing the aspect ration doesn't change the Field of View (FOV). You'll actually just be discarding the top and bottom-most parts of the scene.

what's an Aspect Ration? Is that like MRI's in different sizes?

Aspect ratio is the amount of screen you can see. Kinda like a 16:9 (wide screen) movie having the right and left edges cut off to fit on 4x3 TV but there could be stuff happening in the cut off parts that you are not able to see on the smaller screen.

the aspect ratio is the relationship between the height and width of a plane.

Yay! Someone else who constantly mistypes ration as ration!

This doesnt work on dual monitors. At least not in OGL and nvidia

Yes, but he's running a projector so its probably his only "monitor".

And just think....if you had been to the test site, you would've seen the fun we had with nested quotes.

heh... good times.

We also determined just how many it would take to break the formatting of the page
