Well, this is the age of large resolution and when I was running this game in windowed resolution on my 32" LCD HDTV (1920 x 1080 resolution), I was like, "Man, this is too small and cramped, but the largest "display setting" resolution is 1680x1050." I then went looking around for maybe a settings file (I've had to do this for some games that don't have widescreen resolutions around) that controlled it. I noticed this rather obvious file called "OPTION.ini" in "C:\AeriaGames\TwelveSky2\" The whole file is:
| Code: |
|
[RESOLUTION]
y = 1080
x = 1920
fullscreen = TRUE
|
Having a bit of a backround in java and mIRC coding, I recognized what it was. For those who understand it already, congrats, you now know how to change your resolution of the game to anything. Just be careful, when you run it on high resolution, it puts more of a strain on your video card, so I wouldn't recommend really high resolutions to people with less powerful machines (if you have graphical lag at your current resolution, don't turn it up). Anyways, for those of you who don't understand how to change your resolution from that.... changing the number after "y = " will change the height of your screen, changing the number after "x = " will change the width. Also, I don't know how picky this engine is, but for safety's sake, make sure there is a space between = and the number. Then this one should be really obvious, but if "fullscreen = TRUE" the game will run in fullscreen. Now, this game is great when you have it running at your main resolution at fullscreen because it DOES NOT minimize if say you click something on another monitor. If it did minimize, I'd have to put it in windowed mode by changing that to "fullscreen = FALSE". Also, this is just a precaution, but whenever you edit any file, make sure to back it up so that if somehow you screw over the file, you don't have to reinstall and redownload all the patches. Also, this is a precaution for me, use this information at your own risk because I don't know how Aeria Games feels about people manually changing the resolution on their games. As far as I can tell, this file doesn't control anything other than resolution. Anyways, just thought I'd post that guide up in here. I'll have some video card driver (nVidia) tweaks for this game up after I go outside in 93-96 degree heat (that's in fahrenheit for the rest of the world going O.o) to mow the yard!
Anyways, gameguy08, out.
