Increase Window Size
« on: May 14, 2009, 01:12:59 am »

Sorry for being noobish, but I tried fiddling with the init file and couldn't make it work. Can I make my DF window wider and taller?

If you aren't using graphics: Simply changing the first 2 height and width values will work.
If you are using graphics: below the first 2 there will be a 'graphics' section of the init, that has the 'graphics' resolution values that you will want to change.
As for what you should change the gridsize to, there are other topics describing it.

Thanks. Though I either asked the wrong question or I'm still missing something: it doesn't let me see more tiles at once, just makes the ones I do see larger, so my field of view isn't any larger. Can I do that?

I tried this:

[WINDOWED:YES]

This is the size and font for windowed mode.  Changing to 800x600 and the

800x600 font might make you happier.

[WINDOWEDX:800]
[WINDOWEDY:600]
[FONT:curses_800x600.bmp]

That has to do with the gridsize, there's a resolution to size chart on the wiki, me-thinks.

That sounded altogether too much like a person asking for viagra.

Here you go

It does all the work for you.

As an example mine is:

[WINDOWED:YES]
[BLACK_SPACE:YES]
[GRID:150:80]
[WINDOWEDX:1200]
[WINDOWEDY:960]
