Thief 3 Custom resolutions?

duckman on 3/1/2008 at 05:23

I just got a 22 inch monitor, and it's wide-screen, and I cannot play T3 on it without having it look stretched, I need a custom wide-screen resolution, how do I change the resolution to a custom one i need?

well, that was impressively easy! :) Apparently you can use multisampling and bloom at the same time too by just editing this ini file :D

Don't bother, bloom is just a bastardised version of the multisampling. Having bloom on will just override the other.

I recommend turning off bloom, setting multisampling to 1 and finally adjusting the anti-aliasing levels to your desired valve via the Nvidia Forceware/ATI Catalyst control panel.

To get the game to run at the native resolition of your monitor, edit the "options.ini" and find the line starting with "resolution=3" and change it to -1

Then install and run the (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=41IXQ44H) ThiefFov.patch and select 16:9 option and voula! T3 in glorious Widescreen.

Actually all I did was change the 3 to a -3 and it worked fine :P What's that patch for exactly?

It gives you a widescreen horiz+ FOV. Without it, T3's widescreen support is vert-. (See (http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ) this FAQ for an explanation of the jargon.)

Here's the (http://mugon.org/widescreen/thief.html) up-to-date version, Biker linked to an out-dated version.

Nice nugget there, even (http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php/Master_Games_List_-_T) WideScreenGaming has only Vert-.

I just got a 22'' myself. Games have been stretching for me too. I feel ya. I gotta do some digging to see if it's possible to add some black borders to games that don't support widescreen.

I just came across this patch linked above ((http://mugon.org/widescreen/thief.html)), but I see that the HUD still stretches. Is it possible to fix that?
