Quote:Is it possible to mod the resolution to 1680x1050? I would not know myself but I have seen other games that had lower a resolution and where someone has modded to a higher resolution.

 

Yes, it is possible. To change the resolution you have to edit two ini files (create backups youll need them when you play with normal screens again):

1. one is located in your documents folder /My Games/Freelancer/PerfOptions.ini
That is the relevant part

Quote:[Display] 
size= 1680, 1050
color_bpp= 32 (example)
depth_bpp= 24 (example)

 

2. The other one is the Freelancer.ini. You'll find it in your FL directory/EXE/freelancer.ini

Quote:[Display] 
fullscreen = 1
size = 1680,1050 (no space behind the comma )
color_bpp = 32
depth_bpp = 24

 

Now you play with 1680x1050 but it looks bad because the HUDs are at wrong places
The solution is easily found at other forums:
You have to modify cameras.ini found in FreeLancer path/Data like this:

Quote:[WinCamera]
fovx = 63.504809977813375

[CockpitCamera]
fovx = 70
znear = 2.000000

[ThirdPersonCamera]
fovx = 70

[DeathCamera]
fovx = 70


 
You might need to disable the writing protection first to save it. 
thats how it would look like now:

Now we go for the fonts as they are very large yet.

open Data/FONTS/fonts.ini and use this:

Quote:[TrueType]
nickname = ButtonText
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.030000

[TrueType]
nickname = PageHeader
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.030000

[TrueType]
nickname = SubHeader
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.030000

[TrueType]
nickname = ItemName
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.025000

[TrueType]
nickname = ListText
font = Arial Unicode MS
fixed_height = 0.020000

[TrueType]
nickname = ToolTip
font = Arial Unicode MS
fixed_height = 0.025000

[TrueType]
nickname = Rollover
font = Arial Unicode MS
fixed_height = 0.021000

[TrueType]
nickname = HudSmall
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.025000

[TrueType]
nickname = MissionObjective
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.039000

[TrueType]

fixed_height = 0.025000

[TrueType]
nickname = NewsTicker
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.035000

[TrueType]
nickname = PlayerName
font = Arial Unicode MS
fixed_height = 0.020000

[TrueType]
nickname = TradePlayerName
font = Arial Unicode MS
fixed_height = 0.020000

[TrueType]
nickname = DebugText
font = FixedSys
fixed_height = 0.025000

[TrueType]
nickname = ConfirmPlayerText
font = Arial Unicode MS
fixed_height = 0.025000

[TrueType]
nickname = ConfirmText
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.025000

[TrueType]
nickname = NavMap1600
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.015000

[TrueType]
nickname = NavMap1024
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.020000

[TrueType]
nickname = NavMap1280
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.018000

[TrueType]
nickname = NavMap800
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.023000


 

Save it without protection again and you should be fine

Thats the optimized version with much smaller playernames and text fonts and an optimized Font size for the nav map.

BTW The hint with the cameras.ini was known on the berlin city server forums, the fonts are my work though
