Quake3 and Widescreen Resolutions?

[kaznth]

I have a 24" monitor and want to play Quake3 at its native res (1920*1200), this resolution cannot be selected in the setup menu. Is there a console command that allows this?

[^misantropia^]

Yep. Pull down the console and type this:

/r_mode -1
/r_customwidth 1920
/r_customheight 1200
/r_customaspect 1
/vid_restart

The problem is the aspect ratio is f**ed!

It's better to set it to 1600*1200.

Change your FOV to something more suitable for your screen, then.

lol, I played for like 1.5 years and only now discovered there was a bigger res than 1200x900 or whatever was there. Guess ill have to re-learn my aim

Yep. Pull down the console and type this:

/r_mode -1
/r_customwidth 1920
/r_customheight 1200
/r_customaspect 1
/vid_restart

i'm wondering about this too as i'm about to drop £400 on a 26" widescreen (1920x1200)

does this change the aspect ratio accordingly or just squash the image?

[^misantropia^]

aspect_ratio = custom_width / custom_height

1.6 == 1920 / 1200

Take your pick.

I used to play in 1440x900 on a 19" widescreen.

/r_customheight 900
/r_customwidth 1440
/r_mode -1
/vid_restart

But how does /r_customaspect work? I never knew about that...

I liked the way it looked with the above settings with fov at 120. Got very used to it and improved my game.

Been digging into this recently. r_customaspect doesn't exist in newer ioquake3 builds and I doubt it ever really worked anyway - its value was never used to scale anything up or down.

Hi:)
I recently created an app just for that (works only on Windows though...):
