Better widescreen support?

Post by ChefOfDeath »

Any possibility of better widescreen support in upcoming patches? I did the trick where I modified the video.cfg file, and it works great for the resolution, but the field of view adjustment is vert- (vertical minus), meaning it chops off the top and bottom of the screen instead of adding more on the left and right. As you can imagine, being able to see less when flying a spaceship around is not a good thing. Therefore, I formally (but humbly) request for the Starshatter Gods to add, either as a stand-alone or as part of a larger patch, hor+ (horizontal plus) widescreen support. I don't know what the default field of view for starshatter is, but if it's 90 degrees (very common) then most PC widescreen monitors (16:10) will look best with a 100 degree field of view. HDTV widescreen (16:9) works well with 106 degrees. A manual way of adjusting the field of view (by degrees) could be nice, as it would cover people with less common aspect ratios as well (there was an earlier post where a guy who had a 15:4 aspect ratio was requesting widescreen and trackir support...sounds like a Matrox surround gaming setup [X(]).
