Hudshift Size Request

JFLP provides widescreen support. If you don’t want the whole patch, get the dll and either use jflpac.dll (fovx is always based on your aspect ratio) or jflp.dll and set fovx to 0 (otherwise JFLP won’t calculate it, assuming you want to set it explicitly). Fovx is in DATA\cameras.ini. The dll is installed by copying to EXE (if you didn’t already extract it there) and adding it to [Libraries] in EXE\dacom.ini.

Did you try deactivating the mod, then tools -> restore backups and activating the mod agaiN?

1366 x 768 = 16:9

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?
