Seriously though.

I keep trying to change the resolution, but whenever I test game, it resets!

It keeps defaulting to 1024x768, which is a 4:3 ratio, while my monitor is 1600x900, which is...16:9. That means everything gets stretched.

Anybody know how to get this working?

Edit your buildsetup.ini also. If you don't have a buildsetup.ini, then build a game of any level and it should be in your main FPSC folder.

I think it's hard coded for test game, and gets overwritten with that all the time... OR there's an other one they copy over that file from the textbank folders. Not quite sure, haven't had FPSC installed in a while.

It's not the world that turns against you, it's you that turns against the world.

Fenix Mod automatically gets the screen resolution of the monitor and uses it.

1) Close FPSC
2) Edit the setup.ini
3) Open FPSC

That should get it to read in your new settings.
The only huge problem I've had with setup.ini was that the Editor recreated it all the bloody time and if you tried to add extra options to it for your Mod, it'd pretty much dump them out.


The one and only,

I also can't change the setup.ini settings stick for TEST GAME, no matter what I do, it always goes back to 1024x768.

Now for BUILT games, I can change the resolution in setup.ini no problem....which is why I always build by game for doing things like screen captures, FRAPS, etc.

Ply: I tried your method. It got weird.

I successfully managed to get the setup.ini to keep the settings I put in, but when I opened the editor, the cursor was nearly twenty space to the left and maybe 5 up from where my mouse was. I changed the settings back and forth, and it only did this when using my new settings.

@ Aaron

Doesn't that just change the settings when you finally build something, not just test?

@hockeykid:

Shameless plug.

Although I do admit, that's a cool idea.

EDIT: @ bond1

That seems like it would clutter up your computer really fast! Either way, that seems impractical. Tsk tsk, FPSC.

I was pestering Lee with this for a while. Really bloody annoying.

I don't see why Lee just made it autodetect the monitors resolution and switch to it. I did it in my project in 7 short lines.



So really, some could just add this to the FPSC source, and presto.
