Hi,
I just bought a new notebook which has a 15,4'' widescreen display (pretty hard to get a good nobo with 15'' only somehow O_o). The first game I installed was of course ofp, and the performance is very good.
The only problem is the widescreen display. The picture ingame is distorted. So is there any way to adjust the resolution of ofp to the widescreen-display?

In your \users\*username*\userinfo.cfg file you have two values:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
fovTop=0.750000;
fovLeft=1.000000;
[/QUOTE]
This is set up for 4:3 scaling, which is correct for the following:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
0640 x 0480 - VGA
0800 x 0600 - SVGA
1024 x 0768 - XGA
1600 x 1200 - UXGA
2048 x 1536 - QXGA

You should adjust the scaling to 5:4, ie
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
fovTop=0.800000;
[/QUOTE]
for these resolutions:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
1280 x 1024 - SXGA
2560 x 2048 - QSXGA

For widescreen displays, your scales may vary.
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
04 : 03 - fovTop=0.750000;
05 : 04 - fovTop=0.800000;
16 : 09 - fovTop=0.562500;
16 : 10 - fovTop=0.625000; // 1920 x 1200 WUXGA, 3840 x 2400 WQUXGA

Here are some HDTV formats, use the scales posted above:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
1280 x 0720 - 16:9
1920 x 1080 - 16:9
[/QUOTE]
But if you have a plasma screen your direct inputs may vary, unique fovTop values are listed below:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
1024 X 0852 - .83203125 - 32" (81.28cm)
1024 x 1024 - (1:1) - 42" (106.68cm) & 43" (109.22cm)
1024 X 0768 - (4:3) - 42" (106.68cm) & 43" (109.22cm)
1365 X 0765 - .56043956 - 50" (127cm), 61" (154.94cm), & 63" (160.02cm)
1365 X 0768 - .562637362 - 50" (127cm), 61" (154.94cm), & 63" (160.02cm)

Afaik you have to edit these in Notepad, there is no direct method. Some of these resolutions are admittedly esoteric, I just included them for reference.
For multimonitor displays, your
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
fovLeft=1.000000;
[/QUOTE]
will normally equal your number of displays.
The only exception to all this is if you use your displays in portrait mode, or multimonitors in portrait mode. In those cases, you would swap the values of the two fov settings.
And where is that band that so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country shall leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave, From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave;
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
(3rd stanza of the Star-Spangled Banner)
thank you very much it works perfectly
I have searched to no avail
how does one activate the savegame etc. cheats on a laptop or notebook without a numpad?
can one bind other keys to this function, or is it fixed?
I ask this in here because it already contains interesting information for playing OFP on a newer notebook or laptop with widescreen

Ordinarily Laptop keyboards do have an embedded numpad on the right side of the char layout, though you generally have to use a function key or special numlock to activate it.
And most all laptop/notebooks have input for a normal keyboard
thanks for the reply, you were right so I got it figured out nowOriginally Posted by (shinRaiden @ Oct. 08 2005,20:43)
but it's rather clumsy to press the combination of
SHIFT+[FN-key]+another key at the other end of the keyboard
so I'm still interested to hear if it is possible to rebind the key combination for savegame etc. cheats
would like to know that too. I've this embedded numpad on my notebook as well activated by a fn-key. I don't know the complete savegame cheat anymore but the attempt to enter it on my notebook failed because the numpad is embedded right in the middle of the letters one needed for the cheat. So you'd have to enter the cheat and additionally press the fn-key to get the numpadd - . This way it doesn't work, anyone has another idea?
thanx for the info,...
may try -twomon, but my Gf440 MX keeps crashing ofp
.. t y
Why not get a separate fullsize keyboard to plug into the laptop while you're playing games at home? That way you don't have to fumble for the correct keys...
