Widescreen Gaming Forum

I can't beleive it, I have searched all over this furom and have not found any mention of Enemy Territory. I am looking at getting 1280x800 and 1680x1050 support. I just ordered the 2005fpw!!!

Is that the game based on Castle Wolfenstein? If so it uses the Quake 3 engine and may work with those settings. There's a Quake 3 related thread in the PC Widescreen Solutions forum.

Note this is just a suggestion and I haven't tried it myself. Good luck.

It's the multiplayer only RTCW addon.

However, because it's multiplayer, the 'cheat protection' systems will likely cause you problems if you edit any files.

Try this.
Its an cfg editor for Enemy territory that will create an autoexec.cfg.
After it has change the res/add lines to whatever u want in the autoexec.cfg.

looks like there are no widescreen choices there

I don't play ET too often anymore, but I still thoroughly enjoy the sessions I do play. I would love to see someone figure this out.

it is answered in this thread:

Instructions (on Win XP Pro):

1 ) Install Q3 based game.
2 ) Run once, and quit, to generate the .cfg file.
3 ) Navigate to 'GameDirectoryBase' directory. (where GameDirectory is where you installed the game)
4 ) Right click the 'whatever.cfg' file. (for example: jk2config.cfg in JK2, q3config.cfg in Quake 3, myconfig.cfg in SOF2 etc...)
5 ) Select 'Open With' or 'Open' in the right click menu and then choose 'Wordpad' in the scroll list. Do NOT choose 'search on the net'. It's a waste of time.
6 ) You can either have the .cfg files associated with Wordpad or not from then on.
7 ) Use find (Ctrl-F) to find the string 'seta r_customwidth' and change the value in the quotes to read either 1680 or 1920, whichever res you have
8 ) The string 'seta r_customheight' should be below it, if it isn't, find it, ad change it to whatever value you want. E.g: 1050 or 1200.
9 ) THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! Change the line 'seta r_mode' to '-1'. Otherwise it will ignore the settings and do its own thing.
10 ) Find the line 'seta cg_fov' and change the value to '115' or whatever you want. You can even set it to 360, but it looks like a fisheye lens. The exact Field of Vision is a matter of taste, so fiddle and find which setting you like the most! :D
11 ) Once these changes have been made, save them and start the game. Do NOT change the resolution in the settings panel, or you will have to edit the .cfg file again.

Feign posts where to find it

works for me on my 1280x768 Syntax Olevia. Haven't found or added the seta cg_fov line yet so I'm gonna experiment some more but it looks great now.

also need to verify if it works on all punkbuster servers

I know Punkbuster prevents FOV change in Call of Duty MP, so don't be surprised if does here too.

Too bad WS is still considered a "cheat" by some games... :?

Nope, I've been playing plenty of ET with widescreen FOV, didn't stop me (at least not on that server, and PB was on).

Well there ya go. That's certainly good to hear. :)
