jeunealbert Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 So your exe must be different. Appart from the resolution patch, it just patches two other offsets in the exe. These are two consecutive instructions, one pushing 100h, the other pushing 80h on the stack. I just doubled both values.
jeunealbert Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 Man, this is like the best thing I've downloaded in the past hour. Correction: WORST! I kinda dislike this level of sarcasm... Here's what to do, step by step: 1. Get a hexeditor (search with google.) 2. You have to calculate a few values, use calc.exe for it. Switch calc to scientific view. There are radiobuttons "Dec" and "Hex", by switching between them you can easily convert one to the other. Say, we want to convert 5461 dec. Switch to "Dec", type in 5461, switch to "Hex" and read: 1555. You have to switch 15 and 55: 5515, because this is the way values appear in binary files. Note: if you have a hexvalue like 1C8, it's 01C8. 3. Now open monkey4.exe with your hexeditor and search for C7 44 24 XX 80 02 00 00 C7 84 24 XX 00 00 00 E0 01 00 00 (XX might be anything) 80 02 00 00 is 640 dec. = x-resolution, E0 01 00 00 is 480 dec. = y-resolution. Calculate your desired values and overwrite x- and y-res. Now do the same for C7 44 24 XX 80 02 00 00 C7 44 24 XX E0 01 00 00. 4. Now search for 68 80 00 00 00 68 00 01 00 00, replace it with 68 00 01 00 00 68 00 02 00 00. 5. Done.
Isak Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 I have Escape from Monkey Island for ps2, no problems there no, and allways high resolution maybe we all should get a ps2
Remi Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 The PS2 version has the same resolution as the default PC version you know. ¬
Benny Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Nice one, jeunealbert I'm going back to uni tonight, but I'll try and knock-up a quick patch/launcher for those of us with different exe's and i'll try and upload it tomorrow.

d3vilsadvocate Posted April 17, 2004 Posted April 17, 2004 monkey.exe files to play in either 1280 or 1600: http://users.quick-line.ch/chris/1600x1200.exe http://users.quick-line.ch/chris/1280x1024.exe thanks for the great idea! btw try playing it with FFA. I was unlucky getting weird lines in the game while doing so, but you mite have some luck... textures look way nicer that way!
Huz Posted April 17, 2004 Posted April 17, 2004 Originally posted by jeunealbert I kinda dislike this level of sarcasm... Sorry about that - I can see how it comes across as a bit caustic, but I was just messing around really! It was the BEST software I had downloaded in the past hour because it was also the ONLY software - and when it didn't work, I decided to call it the "worst" instead! Just a silly joke, sorry.
Tyrell Posted April 17, 2004 Posted April 17, 2004 Let me show you why you should use 1280x960 instead of 1280x1024: http://www.zippyimages.com/files/13512/1280x1024.png http://www.zippyimages.com/files/13517/1280x960.png The background images do look noticibly better too.
Tyrell Posted April 17, 2004 Posted April 17, 2004 Originally posted by d3vilsadvocate Xippion that would be 1600x? No, why did you think that? I don't think my monitor supports 1600x.
d3vilsadvocate Posted April 17, 2004 Posted April 17, 2004 sorry mate. that was meant to be a question whats the right proportion of 1600xYYYY?
Tyrell Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 Originally posted by d3vilsadvocate sorry mate. that was meant to be a question whats the right proportion of 1600xYYYY? Well, the original is 640x480. 1280x960 is exactly 2x that. 1600 is 2.5x, which I might add will mean that the background images won't be even, but 1200 is right since it is 2.5x, the equation being (1600/640)x480=1200.
jeunealbert Posted April 18, 2004 Author Posted April 18, 2004 Xippion, I don't know, what you did, but I can't see flying manholes and huge cracks under doors. You must have done something different while patching.

You must have done something different while patching. I downloaded d3vilsadvocate's version, since your instructions didn't work for my v1.1 exe, nor did the patch and I was sick of twiddlying in olly. Then I patched his exe to 960, which fixed it.
ThunderPeel2001 Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 The next question is of course: GRIM FANDANGO! All we need is a patch that runs it higher resolution and one that changes all the ingame textures to 256x256!
