Compatible widescreen mod?

Recommended Posts

Holy crap! A new solution to this problem has, um, presented itself since the introduction of the KotOR Collection on DVD.

 

Use UniWS and not the Squizzy patcher. I think you all can figure it out from there. And yes, it works on a patched installation from the original CDs, so I'm playing TSL in widescreen at native resolution again. W00t! ;)

 

What do you mean a "Patched Version"? I have uniws, but when I try to use the utility it has TSL grayed-out. Is there a different version of uniws, or do I do something else? Also, the HUD patches all make my HUD either unusably offset or completely non-visible. Is there a patch that works with 16x9 monitors which puts the HUD in the right place?

The last time I saw Squizzys, I'm sure it wasn't a no-cd, it just changed a couple bytes in the .exe. I could be wrong, but I really doubt it does anything other than modify the resolution.

Squizzy's patcher has always required a no-cd. That's why it always came bundled with one.

The one I downloaded only had Squizzy's repatcher. It modified both the .exe and mss32.dll or whatever it's called.

You have to get the right file for it to work. Can't go into detail too much here.

 

I would be interested in what this file is. PM me?

But does it work on a fully patched game?

Haven't tested it, and I probably won't, as windowed works perfectly for me on my 1366x768 display.

 

Is the game resolution, you are playing on, 1366x768 or is it 1280x768. If you are playing without problems(not visible dialogue options) on 1366x768 could you explain step by step how you have achieved that. If I misunderstood you please dont mind me. I just get nervous of the black bars on the sides of my display :)

Nah, playing 800x600. I wish I could have been more helpful, but I gave up on the resolution changers when my old install was breaking down and I had to figure out what the problem was (was a variety of things including a faulty graphic card driver and a broken texture mod).

I tried it on my old computer, but as I had no interest in the speeder races I didn't test to see if that bug was fixed and subsequently the patch was applied to the 1.0b .exe.

Oh, OK. I was confused there for a minute.

 

Yeah, I don't swoop race much either. In fact, I probably wouldn't have known that the Carbon fixed .exe wasn't really patched if it hadn't been pointed out to me by Achilles. Being able to tell if an .exe is patched or not is actually pretty simple. With an unpatched .exe, party NPCs will sound off every time they use security (and maybe demolitions). With a patched .exe they don't talk nearly as often. That was probably the most obvious change made by the 1.0b patch.
