4K Carmageddon 2?

Post by Spectre2011 »

Hi I knew its been attempted and done on carma reincarnation, (oddly it doesnt work on my 3 screen setup and I have a nvidia gtx670)
so I tried this with carma2 with the newest version of dgvoodoo 2, and
everything is wide in a horrifically silly way. so my question is, is there a
way to have a hacked field of view and a resolution above 1920x1080 that can be tolerated my carma2?

*edit* I just read something about nglide I will try that.

Sadly the proportions (4:3) are hardcoded... No matter which glide wrapper you use, it will always stretch a 4:3 visual to fill your screen(s).
Maybe we could someday hack the executable or something to change that, but at the moment only the software mode can be widen like this.

Software mode in 4k would look tasty.

Yup there is: 256*256 for Glide mode. D3D mode resize everything down to 128*128.

(I suppose C2 software mode has no limit like C1 software mode, but the game could crash if launched in Glide mode with higher res textures.)
