Hudshift Size Request

Okay, I got SW:WT and had a look. The process:

• clean install of Freelancer (via direct extraction from the cabs);
• installed JFLP, jflpdll and HUD Shift;
• extracted SW:WT;
• added …/jflp/jflpac.dll and hudshift.dll to dacom.ini;
• uncommented the 16:9 section in hudshift.ini.

Since my resolution was already set, Freelancer started fine in widescreen mode. Load a game, though, and I see that font is wrong, as are the inventory and reputation screens. After a bit of mucking about, I tracked it down to DATA\FONTS\fonts.ini - SW:WT uses slightly larger values. Restored the original fonts.ini and everything looks fine, as the attached screenshot demonstrates (at half size).

That’s why I used jflpac.dll, since using jflp.dll requires changing DATA\cameras.ini, too. Read my first response again.

I thought that SW:WT had a widescreen shortcut icon on the desktop, might well use the -dx command to launch dsace or whatever.

Works like charm, only one player had trouble with it (10 players test it so far).
Has anyone suggestion to improve the code?

have a problem look at it and still black borders

Yeah, I made a mistake not doing that automatically. The next version will work better, whenever I can get around to it.

jflp.dll
jflpac.dll

Use one or the other, not both (if you use jflpac, you don’t need to set fovx; indeed, you can’t, that’s the whole point).

@Terratec: Can you tell me what’s in your dacom.ini & hudshift.ini?

I have a 1600x900 screen

this is in hudshift.ini

; Adjustments for 16:9 (1280x720, 1440x810, 1600x900, 1920x1080).
[[b];HUDShift]
Horizontal = 0.17

maybe you just forgot to delete the ; ?

True.But changed here

<data file=“Data\Interface\hudshift.ini” method=“filereplace” numtimes=“-1” options=“7:2”><dest>[;HUDShift] ;16:9 <</dest>
<source>
[HUDShift] ;16:9 - Activated by FLMM <</data>
but,he does not do it

If you got this line:

[;HUDShift]

and your script looks for

[;HUDShift] ;16:9[/qoute]

it won’t work…

anyway, I don’t see the .dll entries in the dacom.ini…

I did it! I have a new further problem! lol Sorry

Pretty sure that should fix itself after going ingame, logging out and exiting the game. I believe it happens when using the -dx argument, too.

@Terratec: That looks like a widescreen camera problem, rather than a HUDShift problem (especially considering it doesn’t shift those). What are you using for w/s? According to that dacom.ini, it’s not JFLP or DSAce.

This is in the script

and this in dacom.ini

@include FL_Dev.ini

w/s? What do you mean by that?

Thanks for your fast answere</in></in></in>
