Resolutions
The Dark Mod supports a wide list of resolutions settable via the menu, as well as some odd resolutions you might want to use.
Note: Windows 7 and newer have DPI scaling technologies which are known to interfere with OpenGL resolution management.
See Screen and Resolution for further details.
How to set custom resolutions
If the choices in the menu are not enough, then you can set any resolution via the Darkmod.cfg file, too. Use the following:
seta r_customHeight "Y" seta r_customWidth "X" seta r_fullscreen "1" seta r_mode "-1" seta r_aspectRatio "R"
where Y = height in pixel, X = width in pixel, and R can be one of the following:
| Value | Name | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 4:3 | Default from D3 |
| 1 | 16:9 | Widescreen |
| 2 | 16:10 | Widescreen |
| 3 | 5:4 | TDM v1.06 |
| 4 | 16:9 TV | TDM v1.06, special modes for TV screens |
r_fovRatio
From v1.06 onwards you can also set a custom aspect ratios,
simply set r_fovRatio to a value > 0,
and r_aspectRatio will be ignored,
and the aspect ratio will be r_fovRatio : 1.
The following for instance sets up the resolution 3120 x 1050 with a ratio of 2.97 : 1:
seta r_customHeight "1050" seta r_customWidth "3120" seta r_fullscreen "1" seta r_mode "-1" seta r_aspectRatio "0" // ignored seta r_fovRatio "2.971"
