Running DF on wide screen
« on: October 11, 2009, 05:44:50 pm »

I'm kinda noob when it comes to screen settings I was just wondering what in the init.txt I should change to get my DF to run in 1366x768

Code: [Select]
[FULLSCREENX:1366]
[FULLSCREENY:768]
[FULLFONT:curses_640x300.png]

[BLACK_SPACE:NO]

Or if you're using a graphic set:

Code: [Select]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:1366]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:768]
[GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:NO]

Or windowed instead of fullscreen, as appropriate. This might end up looking a bit stretched, so you might need to change tileset or graphic set. Still, if it works out, great.

I recommend you use FULLFONT:curses_800x600.png since the tiles are closer to square (10x12 instead of 8x12). As the tiles are 10x12, you're looking at 136x64 tiles for display.
So, I suggest:

[FULLSCREENX:1920]
[FULLSCREENY:1080]
[FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp]

[BLACK_SPACE:YES]
and
[FULLGRID:136:64]

You could also download some of the larger tilesets available on the Wiki - I'm pretty sure there's a few that run at your resolution.

BLACK_SPACE=YES

will not stretch tiles, instead making black space at the top and bottom as necessary.
