Hello I'm having an issue with True Combat Elite, maybe somebody could help me with this, my problem is, look at the picture:



Black bars/letterbox, I'm playing at 1280x1024 which is the native resolution of my LCD monitor. Enemy Territory itself doesn't got this issue so I thought there might be some workaround for this. In settings I got set resolution to: 1280x1024 standard screen 5:4 and aspect ratio set to: 4:3. What can I do to fix this? I tried fiddling with other settings including, field of view, r_customaspect, r_customwidth and r_customheight but nothing has fixed that issue. I will be gratefull for any tips.

In system options u have acpect ratio settings

when typying your commands begin it with /seta to write it into cfg

I already said that I've been using aspect ratio options in settings menu. For the commands I have those set like this:



Should be correct but it don't have any effect for the TCE, any other ideas?

no other way. the command responsible for aspect ratio is r_customaspect and its variabloes could be 0 1 2 =) gl

try that ( i hope sombody will help u who know more about that )
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_customwidth "1280"
seta r_customheight "1024"
seta r_customaspect "1"
seta g_fov "110"

Type these settings into your console (the ” ~ ” key) while the game is started:

/seta r_aspectratio 1
/seta r_customaspect 1
/seta r_mode -1
/seta r_customwidth 1920
/seta r_customheight 1080

And if you want to run it in fullscreen:
/seta r_fullscreen 1
or not
/seta r_fullscreen 0

Of course if your screen resolution is different from this (1920×1080), just use the one your screen supports.

However, if you are using an autoexec.cfg, you can copy and paste these ET widescreen settings into it, so the resolution will change automatically when you starte ET next time, or if you load your autoexec in the game.

Or, go to your game install folder and locate this file:
C:/Program Files/Enemy Territory/tcetest/yourprofile/etconfig.cfg
…then copy paste these lines above, without the “/” sign.

NO OTHER WAY

I thought TC:E only supports 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios. Not 5:4.

alpha is right there is no 5:4 at ET.


were introduced at idtech folowing one used in ET

There are not such commands in ET nor TCE. I tried all your commands, I'm playing game in fullscreen, but unfortunately they didn't help. How come normal Enemy Territory is using correct aspect ratio in 1280x1024 (getting me full area of screen) and TCE does not, did developers made some changes within this settings which brake compatibility for 5:4 users?

options=>system under aspect ratio youve got field of view tab. you can change it, probably fixing your issue witchout need to vid_restart so wysiwyg =) there is also console command for it but forgot it.
connect to any server go options/system,field of view and pick best one
i hope that will help you zią

Basically, yes. You just cannot do 5:4 because its not supported.

sad but true u cant do anything about it, field of view wont change anything for u. but tbh i wouldnt mind the black bars, its not that they're totally disturbing(barely there at all).
ur only option is changing the resolution... :/

ps: funny how many posts are needed to state the obvious, i guess spamming is what tce is all about

its what we are all good at snake

It's Snakes fault. He should have posted earlier
