Awesome mod. Works great. I'm playing on a compaq presario c60 laptop and it looks great. Thanks.

This is one of the best advancements for SH3. I must say thank you all who busted there behinds to make it happen. I bow to your mightiness. :salute:

I have download this mod and try to unzip it, but I got a error message ! "C:\Documents and Settings\AJXP\desktop\Conus' SH3GWXWS 2.3.rar: CRC fault on Conus' SH3GWXWS 2.3\data\Menu\Gui\Layout\LeerC4.tga，file damaged。"
It's that OK for this mod? Shall I ignore this error message and use this mod anyway? Please help me solve this problem, thank you.

After talking to Rubini who has the same ATI card seems it runs on his WS monitor without problems, this is because his monitor has an aspect ratio of 16:9 where as mine is 16:10 ratio, he suggested I try with the d3d9.ini file set to 1280x800 and that works almost perfect however this stuffs up all mods as they are set to 1360x768!:damn:
I think nvidia has the ability to rescale, ATI don't, so it seems a combo of ATI with 16:10 monitors are going to have problems, how hard is it to convert your mod to 1280x800 conus00?:hmmm:

Users who have problems with the actual widescreen DLL i.e. CTD's, HDMI connection, wrong stretched displays etc. please use this debug version of the d3d9.dll.

It creates a d3d9.log, open the file with a texteditor and post the content here, this could help to find out what's going wrong.


download debug dll:

This is the log at 1360x768:
I also did for 1280x800, they are identical except for the resolution and:

I am using I am using Windows 7 64 OS, Sapphire ATI Radeon 5770 1024GB GPU, 22 inch Acer P223W monitor, VGA connectivity with a VGA to DVI adapter, on a native resolution of 1680X1050, with no option of scaling in ATI Catalyst Control Center (10.5) and I am having the same problem as Recce, "erect eggs" effect. Anyway, one weird thing is that when I was using ATI Catalyst 10.3 and before starting my game I've changed my Acer monitor resolution to 1360*768, the game worked perfectly. I didn't had any of the two kind of eggs anymore when I did that. But it's frustrating, annoying and weird in the same time that this is possible with an older driver and it isn't with a newer one. And I would really like to stick up with the newer one from some reasons.

I must also add that with your "dll_widescreen_v1.1" mod the images are not deformed (probably because have a native resolution of 1680X1050), but the lack of a custom GUI for 1680X1050 is annoying, so it's not playable from my point of view.

Finally, here's my log at 1360x768 (with ATI Catalyst 10.5 installed on my system):

Try to re-download the zip file. Something happened during the transfer of the file between mediafire and your computer. On the other hand (I think) LeerC4.tga is just a picture file so if you run the mod without it, the worst case scenario is that you will have some minor glitch in graphics.

Oh, well, doable but quite a bit of work in Photoshop. I'm not sure how much time I will have when I finally get down to Tampa. I'm still stuck in Ohio, tying some loose ends and will be here for another week or so.
I will see when I get down to Florida if I can do it time-wise. No promises, though... :)

Hi conus00, seems that you may not have to, or, the job may be easier:
Not 100% sure what this will mean exactly but might be best to wait and see.:yep:

thanks for the debug logs, here is a new DLL which should eliminate some minor errors i saw in this logs :smug:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ymlkyqnl4td/d3d9.dll

Thanks,:yep: did you want another test log? Is this a debug version?:hmmm:
Edit:
I tested it and it has a log file containing only this:

Conus,

I just noticed that you added my range table to the UZO. But have you checked if the values are correct?? The table is for periscopes, at 1.5x and 6x zoom, but the UZO has 7x zoom, so I suspect that the distances will no longer be correct unless you changed the aperture angle of the camera :damn:

I have the blank base file for the range table, so you can fill it with whatever numbers are correct, if you want it PM me and I'll upload it for you :up:

there is a switch for that in the d3d9.ini "DebugLog=false/true"

that looks ok, all devices are created!

I don't know whether this saved some CTD's, but it's better than before with the device errors :)

BTW:
the folder .\data\shaders\sd_shaders\ created by the debug_dll can be deleted, it's from another project which use this dll ;)

Thanks, those folders were either deleted automatically or weren't created, I did see them and did a search.:yep:
Cheers.

Oh, damn! :DL
I didn't think about that. I will PM you when I get to Tampa (sometime in mid-June) and will ask you for the file. Until then I have only very limited access to the internet.
Thanks for pointing this out for me.
