Widescreen mod


Recommended Posts

  • 1 month later...

I made a thread about my problem with the widescreen mod before I remembered this thread. Here is the thread I posted explaining my problem:

 

I recently downloaded and installed the widescreen mod using the uniws.exe program to give me the 1400x900 resolution. The new resolution worked fine. But then I noticed the GUI was positioned wrong when I realized that, I had to download the GUI fix. I downloaded the GUI fix for the 1400x900 resolution here. But the fix did not do anything. When I loaded the game the GUI was in the same place. I followed the instructions in the readme included in the zip file the 1400x900 GUI fix came with. I have no idea what is going on. I have had this mod installed and work fine with the GUI in the right position before so I don't think it is my game. Can someone help me?

 

Also something else I noticed a little while earlier is that my 800x600 resolution option(s) no longer show up in the game menu. If I want to have the 800x600 resolution of have to edit the swkotor.ini or click on the configuration button when I boot up the game and edit it there.

Tried this mod but it doesn't seem to be working correctly for the HUD.

 

I am using 1680x1050.

 

I follow the steps exactly, to the letter.

 

The game itself is running in 1680x1050 but the HUD is not. The character portrait is in the middle left edge of the screen (should be lower left), the hotkey bar is in the dead center of the screen (should be lower right), the menu button bar is dead center top of the screen (should be upper right)

 

When downloading the HUD patch, for 1680x1050, and extracting, every item in the folder says 800x600.

 

Should I rename all the 800x600's to 1680x1050?

 

Or...what might I be doing wrong?

 

I am having this exact same problem with the 1680x1050 resolution. Widescreen gaming is new to me so I'm interested in finding out how to fix this. I checked the hex editing forums but honestly it was a little above my head. Thanks for any guidance.

I was having the same issues as recent posters (WS working but UI in the middle of the screen) and here is how I fixed it. I am runnig the version of KOTOR that came with the Best of SW PC bundle which is already patched to 1.03b.

 

You will need both the UNiWS utility and the UI hacks specific to the resolution you are planning to run it at as previously mentioned in this thread.

 

Make sure the swconfig utility is set to 800X600, this is NOT the in game options menu, this is a utilty that by default only runs once when you first run the game. It only has two resolution options, 800X600 and 1024X768. You can run the utility again to check or change what it has by double clicking swconfig in your KOTOR directory.

 

After that make sure, as per instructions, that UNiWS is run with the 1024X768 interface option from the drop down selections. As a side note to the person that wasn't able to enter in resolutions into UNiWS, did you run the utility before? I had fist run UNiWS and had picked something other then 1024X768 from the drop down menu. When I ran it again I had to first pick the resolution I had picked previously, click "unpatch" then change my dropdown selection to the 1024X768 before it would allow me to type in my resolution and hit patch again.

 

Last note, when loading a saved game I had to go into the in game options/graphics/resolution menu and toggle back and forth between the two options listed (1024X768 and 1920X1080 for me) before everything applied properly.

 

Hope that helps.

Alrighty, so I used Unwis and it only worked the one time that I changed the resolution and wouldn't work after that. And I wasn't interest in messing with it further.

 

-Anyway-

 

Now I'm interested and getting my HUD back into proper working order for a different resolution, as it is, it only sits in 800x600 and all of the HUD corrections are for wide screen formats.

 

Any suggestions?

Ignore me, I have no business with working with apps when I fail to notice the "Undo Patch" button.

Unfortunately still doesn't display properly. Display goes wide screen but part of the screen is cut off. :confused:

 

Go to the display settings in game and set it to 60hz on your resolution worked for me on 1440-900!
