resolution and game settings

I got 2 things.

1. I would like to change my resolution of gta2 to higher, like 1280x1024 (for example). The max in gta2manger is 1280x960 it says. Could this be done/fixed with a tag line or something?

A bit like everyone else here... lol.

Dusk looks cool but it can be harder to see mines and most custom levels don't have lights, so they are very dark. Exploding scores look cool but they aren't really needed and could be distracting in multiplayer.

You might be able to change to a higher resolution by changing registry keys but do you really need that high resolution? The tiles and sprites in GTA2 aren't high res.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\dma design ltd\gta2\Screen > window_height and window_width

You can't do it on the command line, GTA2 only has one command line option and that is -n for starting in network mode.

To reduce "dusk" effect I increase Gamma level.

Exploding scores could show hits, that are out of our screen, eg mines, or cars destroyed with Bazooka.

I'll check if it is possible to set some weird screen resolutions (in window mode Smile

)

Checked: 1280x1024 and 320x240 are working Yey!

Thanks, I'm going to try that today...

One last question, can the host decide if all players have noon or dusk?

unfortunatley no Sad

I did this:

Start > Run > type "regedit" > hit Enter

And got myself the right key but no mather what I entered the screen resolution did not change. Also in Gta2 Manager it does not really mather what I vink on, it keeps the same resolution.

Maybe I did something wrong... but I don't know what...

full_height and full_width are for changing full screen resolution but if I put a custom resolution, it just goes to 640x480.

The only way to play at something like 1280x800 resolution is in a Window and you have to be running at 16bit color for Window mode to work.

I just play fullscreen and since I have a widescreen monitor, I get blackbars on the side but it's better than stretching the image.

Maybe a silly question but do you also know a way to do this for Age Of Empires II The Conquers?

I don't know anything about Age of Empires.
