How to make JKA Widescreen (Without stretching)

[Mazik Darza]

I know this isn't terribly RP related but I know some people want Wide screen support and I don't know where else to put this.

Well I know I use wide screens, and as JKA doesn't support their aspect ratios by default I think I post how I got my JKA to be widescreen with custom resolution.

Step 1: Open your Jampconfig or config file with notepad or wordpad

Step 2: Press control+F to bring up the find window and type in r_custom

You should now see these 4 commands:

Code: Select all

seta r_mode "*"
seta r_fullscreen "*"
seta r_customwidth "***"
seta r_customheight "***"

(The stars are just being used to show what I'm doing each step)

Step 3: If you play JKA in full screen set the custom Width and height to your native screen resolution (In my case I use a 19 inch screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio so my native resolution is 1440x900)
The commands now look like this:

Code: Select all

seta r_mode "*"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_customwidth "1440"
seta r_customheight "900"

Full screen on because why play windowed at Max resolution?

Step 4: The easiest step of all, set r_mode to a value of -1 or it won't work

Code: Select all

seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_customwidth "1440"
seta r_customheight "900"

Once ingame the FoV may feel a little off so I suggest setting it to 100

Enjoy
