Changing your screen's resolution.

[chickdigger802]

Possessing a humongous 30" monitor and want the best resolution settings? Or do you own a widescreen monitor and want to have a non-stretched full screen mode?

Because i seen many threads of this on multiple forums, I've decided to write a guide so a tech blind person could understand.

First:

1. go to C:\Program Files\Ntreev\TricksterEng, or where ever your trickster folder is located.

2. Search in this folder for 1024.

3. Now for each of those files and folder, change the 1024 part to the widthpixel length that you want
example: i want 1280 resolution so i change InstructionUI_1024.nri to InstructionUI_1280.nri

picture:

4. After your done, go to start menu and click run...

5. type in regedit and push enter.

6. go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
-go to Software
-go to Ntreev
-go to Trickster_gsp
-go to setup

7. find heightpixel and right click and select modify

8. click the box, decimals and put in the heightpixels you want

9. repeat step 7 and 8 except now with width pixel Note: this should be the same number as step 3.

10. wola your done!

Steps to change back:

go through step 1-10 and use the original width and height value (1024x768).

Cool info from Gioff

How to make your chat box larger:

To find a decent size chat bar, you do
a= (width of monitor) * .61
1. Go into your Trickster Online\data\UI_nori\ folder and MAKE BACKUPS of ChatUI.ucf (in case you want to change them back to default).

2. Open up ChatUI.ucf in any text editor (notepad or anything else).
Change Line 1 from iViewDimX = 327 to iViewDimX = a
Change Line 27 from iStatViewDimX = 325 to iStatViewDimX = a
Change Line 30 from iStatViewMaxDimX = 325 to iStatViewMaxDimX = a

if the size is too big, just make the value smaller.

3. MAKE BACKUPS of your new ChatUI.ucf file and call them something new. When Trickster patches, it is likely that these files will get overwritten to their default values.

Having the newest login images after patches:
1. first go to C:\Trickster Online\data\UI_nori\intro_img or w/e your directory is.
2. delete the intro_base 1280(or w/e your changed resolution) and intro_load.
3. rename the intro_base 1024 and intro_load 1024 to the value of your resolution that you want (so for me intro_base 1280, etc).



My end result:

Wow, thanks for this. You can see a lot more in bigger resolutions

*sticky*

And this is what I mean:

[Chesters]

:O -gasp- Now THIS is sticky-worthy. :3

[chickdigger802]

wow fast sticky <3 rofl. i know! wish they made the chat box enlargable x3

[Chesters]

Hmm, has anyone tried puttting in a larger size than their screen is? Would it simply run off screen, or would it shrink to your monitor size? @_@

[flaris]

It'd probably run off your screen (window mode, anyway).

awesome im gonna go home and try this, so my 20 inch monitor will be able to play full screen non stretched, thanks dude

0rz!!!
You da bomb!

Ok so I got it to work at 1680x1050, which is the same as sunchip's I believe.
The big draw back is the chat box doesn't go to the bottom left corner, but middle of the left side. Kinda annoying...

hmm i can't even get it to work
exceptional error O_o lol

EDIT: i got it to work on my 1680x1050 rez lupius and to remove the chatbox from middle left, simply click in between the smiley face and the message icon where you type your speech (you need to click on the purple area) to move the chatbox whereever you want

I got the same thing as sunchip - exceptional error. I tried 1280x1024 at first and didn't work - then I tried 1280 x 800 since flaris got it working at this resolution - still EE. Any ideas?

[flaris]

Err, did you change everything?

Be sure not to mix up width/height and make sure the reg file is on decimal.

[NoeJeko]

Yeah, checked all that. I also tried your suggestion of using 800x600 as my base setting - still didn't work

So far I've tried 1280x1024, 1280x800, and 1600x1200.

[Lupius]

Make sure you rename all the files.
I got exceptional error the first time because I forgot to rename 2 files in a subfolder.

[NoeJeko]

Err - I did a search and renamed all the files it found. Mind posting a list of the files you had to rename? I can see if I'm missing any that way. Thanks.

[flaris]

There's an image at the top o_O

[MooTwo]

Related.


p0n0sp0n0sp0n0s!

[NoeJeko]

I fail it. Yah, there were two files that weren't returned under the search in a subdirectory.

1280x1024 ftw.

This guide rocks. Always wanted to increase Tricksters resolution. Thanks. =)

Photobucket won't let me upload the screenshot at 1400x1050...
