Hi I just thought I would sugest the idea for higher screen resolutions for soldat because I run soldat in the windowed mode at 1280x1024 and its real small... I don't like full screen because then I can't talk on aim and msn and etc so support for higher res window modes would be great(even if its just 800x600, its a improvment)

Regards,
fritz

Srry i gotta ask. why the fuk would u talk on aim or msn while playin soldat? like where would u find the time to type messanges to ur friends. like u have what 2 sec to respond. I think its fine. Dont change it. I can barely have a drink something while playing with out diying at least once. 600x400 is good so u dont get noobs in there talkin to other ppl and makeing a waste outta ppls time tryin to kill a AFK.

p.s= sorry if im rude or an ass cause that just pissed me off

Why not? I wouldn't think it'd be a very hard of a feature to implement. It would be nice to be able to scale the Soldat window to better fit the screen. The more features and attention to detail there is in a game, the better it tends to be, even if some features don't get used by a lot of people.

Yeah, use the chat room, and the game built into the chat room, especially when -MU- -Lucifa- is there.

No y0da, everything is scaled up to fit.

It will look ugly then.

Aquarius, as ugly as Soldat with 640*480 fullscreen.

I'm quite sure Michal will NOT add another resolution.

(Argh, please read this Topic)

Scaled bitmaps usually don't look good.

So, let them have their ugly scaled bitmaps. Who does it hurt?

b00sta, why won't micheal add the resolution?

and viewarea isn't larger with larger screens/resolutions as stated before, its scaled. at least
for FPS. i believe (possibly incorrectly) that in many top down RTS games a higher resolution
DOES result in a slightly larger viewarea. might be wrong.

but my biggest beef with the resolution is the fact that i get an annoyingly long soldat load
time with unsightly flickers indicating the changing of resolutions, as well as the horrible
desktop icon rearrangement resulting from alt-f4'ing out of soldat.

Use full screen. If your going afk to talk to people on aim, you shouldn't play.

It depends, there are several ways:


Trash 640*480 and use 800*600 as standard resolution, everybody sees a bit more than now
Trash 640*480 and use 800*600, but re-design the scenery/graphics so it fits 800*600 (same field of view with better graphics)
From here
quote:- You have a big monitor and you cant stand the constant changing of the resolutions ("clicking") and windowed mode is too small..: Have Soldat NOT changing the resolution mode, yet make it fullscreen, e.g.:
19" 1600*1200: Settings in config.exe might be like: "Fullscreen with current desktop resolution" so you start up Soldat and the resolution keeps the same, though in fullscreen.

I really doubt the 2nd possibility.
