TBT Widescreen problem - FIX!! (Need confirmation from others)

Navigate to:
C:\...your path to game here...\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Menu\

Make a backup copy of

menu_1024_768.ini (call it menu_1024_768.bak or something)

Load the file:

menu_1024_768.ini

with notepad or suitable text editor.

Do a simple find text - "tbt_1024.tga" without the quotes

scroll UP 4 lines to find: (it's in the same section)

Zone= 0 768 1024 768 1 1 0x28000000 0.5 -0.5 0x28000001 -0.5 0.5 0 0

Change to:

Zone= 0 768 1024 768 5 1 0x28000000 0.5 -0.5 0x28000001 -0.5 0.5 0 0

The only difference is changing the "1" to a "5"

Save the file and run the game as normal.
There is also another way using the above fix, I change the 1024 768 entries in this line and also the line above to my screen res... i.e

from this


[G28 I120]
Name=Background
Type=1030;Static bmp
ItemID=0x28000001
ParentID=0x28000000
Pos=0,0,1024,768
Zone= 0 768 1024 768 1 1 0x28000000 0.5 -0.5 0x28000001 -0.5 0.5 0 0
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
Materials=1
Display=2;Linear
Mat 0=data/menu/gui/layout/tbt_1024.tga

to this


[G28 I120]
Name=Background
Type=1030;Static bmp
ItemID=0x28000001
ParentID=0x28000000
Pos=0,0,1680,1050
Zone= 0 768 1680 1050 1 1 0x28000000 0.5 -0.5 0x28000001 -0.5 0.5 0 0
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
Materials=1
Display=2;Linear
Mat 0=data/menu/gui/layout/tbt_1024.tga

I now get full screen TBT, when I get in from work today I'll post a screen shot of how it looks.
