Hello,

ive bought 2 19" Widescreen Monitors a few weeks ago. I usually play
WC3 in a window, cause then i can swtich to other tasks.

now i found the report, to set the game on "widescreen" mode...

i tried it, but i dont understand....

If i set the res in the reg to 1440*900 (my native resolution)
the game (fullscreened) just looks like if i choose 1024*768

What is the "sence" of changing the registry resolution - it
causes the same strech like choosing another resolution...

btw: if u change the res, and look into the graphic options, game changes
them back to 640*480 ...

regards,
dognose

Your monitor or drivers are scaling them, or the game itselfs scaling them. If you let do the game the scaling i think you get sharper pictures and stuff like that.

Ummm, how do I edit the stuff I need for the 1680 x 1050 res setting?

All is given is this hex code stuff....more info?

You need to go in start->run
enter here regedit
Then search HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III\Video
And edit the height and width

There should be a radio button to switch between hex and decimal values. Check the option for decimal.

yeah, i almost forgot that Ibrin, thanks

Yes! Thank you guys, got it ^_^

hey.. im using 22 inch 1680x


i want back the 1024x screen and i dont mind the black bars..

i really hate stretch screen.

i can do it through the registry?

The resolution, yeah easy. The black bars, it is a bit difficult, you may search here on the forum for power strip, and someone mentioned that the new drivers (if you have an nvidia videocard) with some fix.

Hello,

I got a question. I just bought my first Wide screen Display and... wow!
Now I changed the resolution and It works fine.

But is there a possibility to change the range of the MaxCameraHeight like in C&C Generals/Zero Hour?

See this thread.

Cu,
Holger

Not that i know.

Mh... think ill write Blizzard a Email to ask them. If I still think, that an enthusiast or a coder got a sollution, the guys from Blizzard should know it too.

But if they share theirs knowledge with me is a different part

*edit*
If I could register myself on their HP, it would be easier to get in contact with them.
But I'll keep on working.
Yesterday I thought, even if it is possible to change the camerahight, I dont think they would share the possibility.
Cause it has something of "hardwarecheating". Guys with a huge resolution and a max camheight would just see more then guys with a 17" CRT or whatever.
You see enemies much earlier and stuff like that.
