Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi

I like this game a lot and ive been playing it eyefinity mode.

with the extracted big file I just added the maps folder like the guy said above and now the fov is great.

only have a couple of problems...one is the menus are squashed, this I can live with.



my major problem is with the hud being so stretched, it looks bad.

I was wondering if anything could be done to scale the hud.


here is a screenshot...click for full size


regards

Sean

Hi Sean,

I don't have any current plans to implement a HUD mod, and I'm not sure what it would take to correct the stretching. If/when I start work on a completely new mod for these games, I will attempt to fix the HUD at that time.

At wide-screen resolution there is very annoying bug of the minimap. The top and bottom part of the map isn't displayed. The relief, buildings, units - anything isn't present.

This is the first sample I've seen regarding minimap problems. The mod itself makes no changes to the minimap or any graphics other than the main menu, so I'm not sure what the cause could be.

I know that a problem not in your mod. A problem in the game, when using wide-screen resolution.

Hi,

The link to the help on getting this to work in Windows 7 is broken (http://www.wsgf.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&%3Bt=14099&%3Bstart=165)

I've installed the mods but the game fails to launch - see attachment.

Help would be appreciated.

That link is from the site's old format. The current link should be this:
http://www.wsgf.org/forum/9146/bfme2-rotwk-widescreen-and-triplehead-mods-released#comment-171989

but for me it still goes to post #1 of this thread. If the link fails for you as well, go to the bottom of this page and set view comments to 300 per page, Save changes, then just do a Ctrl+F search on the page for Ika. That will take you to his post and the information about getting the mods working on Windows 7.

I can't run any of the exe files im my win7. Error msg says its not a valid Win32 application. And the win7/vista link is broken. Is there a way to fix this prob? The mods look great!!

saw your post now, and found the win7 solution, But it dosent fix my problem, can't even run the exe file. Any thoughts?

Hi

i got this to work by extracting the maps from the big file...i included a readme with location to place the folder.

now no need for a mod just run the game and load the alt version map.


thanks to GeneralAdmission for these fov edited maps files.


link to zoomed maps for super widescreen=P `maps.rar


cheers
