Default Kegety's Resolution Mod - Screen Cutoff

I just discovered this mod and the game looks absolutely wonderful with it running!

The only problem is that a tiny portion of my screen is cut off on the right hand side. Is there any way to correct this or is it just the price of better looking graphics?

For those of you who are interested in running SH3 at a higher resolution - http://www.communitymanuals.com/shii...lay_Resolution

EDIT - Just noticed another rather major problem. I can no longer manualy control the flak guns. When I hit "f" or "F11", nothing happens. Any ideas?

EDIT2 - Pressing "t" allows me to use my flak gun manually

You have to change the d3d9.cfg file to reflect the resolution that you want, however the max res will still be 1024x768 as this is the limit of the game graphics, I use it though as it give the ability for screen capture. Place the cfg & dll file in main game folder.
I have had no problems with it & still using it in 1024x768 mode as larger sizes cause the internal fonts to appear blured..

I left the resolution as default. It could just be me but it seems to look way better than stock. You are right though, the fonts do look a little blurry.

How do you take screenshots with this mod? My ctrl+F11 no longer works.

Just press the prtScr key, as you keep pressing they just keep piling up in the main game folder, great!
Cheers.

Ah, thanks. That works.

Anyone know if there's a way to have them save as some other format other than TGA?

Mate,
Tried it, Loved it, however (I know theres always an however). I have JC Wolf's excellant GWX Upgrade Tools&Dials V).2, and now with the new resolution I get the speed, direction, and depth guages popup in the bottom left corner with the officer Icon. How do I delete or move these so they don't show?

Hope I havn't been to confusing:hmm:.

Regards, Shepelly

Had the same issue, dunno what caused it, tried all kinds of stuff to fix it but no luck. Going with clean install now that 1.02 is here, hopefully that will fix it.
Wonder if it is due to using the hirez stuff, which I do at 1280x1024. That was the only mod I had issues with, everything else ran great.

Same with mine Apeboy. Same resolution and same prob. Must be the new resolution.

Once you've loaded 1.2 let me know how it goes. I'm just starting to download it now.
