thank god for r_customshit =)
Parent
it's funny when people with CRT monitors use 1280x1024
Parent
because it's not 4:3, therefore it looks fucked up if you use 1280x1024 @ crt (which is 4:3).

1280x1024 only looks ok on the 17" TFT's, nowhere else.

1280x960 is the correct resolution, tft makers are retarded.
Parent
didnt know that but i use r_mode 6 anyway
Parent
you learn something new every day!
Parent
tft makers are engineers with academic degrees and they work for the best companies there are.. but yes, they are retarded, sure..
Parent
Ok, you tell me why... give me one VALID reason why they would use 1280x1024 over 1280x960. Can you think of any?

No. Because there isn't any. They created TFT's with 1024x768, 1600x1200.... then 1280x1024... it's very, very, dumb.
Parent
hmm never knew this before, but idd, it's 5:4
anyway, when i still had my 19" crt 1280x1240 was the default resolution i think, so perhaps the monitor itself was 5:4 too? because it looked sharp to me
Parent
I doubt it was...

Honestly, if you put that into 1280x960 then looked at it again you would instantly see how stupid it was to use 1280x1024 all that time.

random fact: 1280x1024 @ et can only go as low as fov 94

you cant play @ fov 90 in 1280x1024 :)
Parent
could be, never tested =)

i have a 16:10 widescreen now (native 1680 x 1150) but if i use a resolution like 1280 x 800 (which is also 16:10) it doesn't show in fullscreen.. i mean, the tft automatically changes the resolution into a blurry 1280 x 960, so i get to see a 160 pixels high stroke of my desktop underneath ET

any way to fix that?
Parent
if your monitor definately supports that resolution, check your r_displayrefresh

I get the wierd desktop lines if I use too high r_displayrefresh
Parent
omg thx nice infos z enemy looks bigger in this r_mode
Parent
well i think you answered on your question by yourself.
because those resolutions look good on tft.
Parent
7 and 10 are also wide aren't they?
Parent
No, only 11 is wide
Parent
7 is weird though
Parent
Mode 7: 1152x864

1152 / 4 = 288

288 * 3 = 864

it's just another 4:3 resolution, I used to use it on my old crt (well, on the desktop, r_mode 4 is always the win)
Parent
i know it supposed to be that, but it plays tottaly different then r_mode 6
Parent
better or worse? :>
Parent
different :P
Tracking is better, but things seem smaller and feels unnatural
