New resolutions

Hi All,

I know there hasn’t been any new resolution added for more than a year already. That was partly because it wasn’t really needed (no new votes to this poll, or notable amount of requests coming from testers otherwise) and - from my part - partly because I didn’t manage to purchase that high resolution monitor yet, which I would need to properly test resolutions above my 1680x1050.

Luckily, someone else took the challenge of completing our “line-up” with the [size=117]1920x1080[/size] as the 10th in the list. Thanks to VCMI MantisBT member plush (see report #720), those with high res monitors who want to experiment H3-VCMI in the Full HD pixel ratio, can now do so by extracting the package I’m attaching to this post (VCMI 0.8x compatible) and placing the content in the corresponding folders.

As you know, you can select the game resolution by typing Resolution in the game console while in the Main Menu. For 1920x1080 you will need to select option 10. For those interested, I’m also attaching a version of the config/settings.txt file with 1920x1080 as default.


Not sure what the others think of new resolutions, but I suggest we still add this one to the official package from the next release, however I think this should be the last one (at least for a long while). We’ll have a nice line-up of 10 resolutions to choose from, with the Full HD 1920x1080 closing this line-up. I don’t imagine there’ll be many who would want higher resolutions soon. As for smaller resolutions (other than the custom ones which may still be developed for smartphones), if they didn’t become popular by now, they never will. We could of course have other resolutions built by whoever may want to give it a try (it’s a nice exercise)… but maybe they should probably be left for a secondary package with different types of extras.
