Title: How to adjust the screen resolution of BoutCheetah [Tutorial]
Post by: Jeffalo13 on July 22, 2011, 07:51:39 PM
BEFORE DOING ANY OF THIS, MAKE SURE YOUR GAME IS CLOSED.

1)  Open cmd.exe/Run and type in "regedit", then press enter.
2)  Double-click on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE".
3)  Double-click on "SOFTWARE".
4)  If you find "N-Log Soft" in this folder, select it and move to step 6.  If you do not, scroll down to "Wow6432Node" and double-click it.
5)  Scroll down to "N-Log Soft".  Double-click it.
6)  Double-click "Bots".
7)  Now, somewhere in the open space to the right of the registry values, right-click.  Select "New", then "DWORD (32-bit) Value".  Do this twice.
8)  Rename one "Screen Height".  Rename the other "Screen Width".
9)  Once you have named them both, right click on one and click "Modify...".
10)  Under "Base", select Decimal.  Make sure you do this before continuing, it's important.  Then, in the "Value data:" box, type in the desired width/height of your BoutCheetah game.  After this is done, click "OK". YOU CAN ONLY MAKE THE RESOLUTION AS LARGE AS YOUR SCREEN, MEANING, IF YOU HAVE A 1366x768 SCREEN, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY BoutCheetah IN 1920x1080.
11)  Repeat step 10 on the other registry value you made, and click "OK".
12)  Once you have completed this, close the Registry Editor and restart your BoutCheetah client.  Enjoy playing BOTS in HD!!

Go to the Control Panel, go to the Display/Resolution section, and look at what you are using.  If you increase the resolution, you will be able to increase the size of the BOTS window.

When I launched the Client, the screen ended up saying there was an "error" and asked to report it to Microsoft. What should I do?

Also, if the values you set are larger than your resolution, you will get an error.  It's like trying to watch HD on a SD TV.

This should be disabled because people can see more in PVP which gives an advantage. And also it didn't work for me.

It is disallowed and bannable, however I never took action against it.
It will be patched soon (I planned to patch it a long time ago but never did so).
This is considered hiddenware, and it does give you an advantage by allowing your screen to show more than it previously could.

My definition of hiddenware: the use of an edited client in any way (mostly bannable in any beneficial way).
Editing the registries without a client function to do so is a bannable offense, though we allow window mode registry to be edited.

I may be blind but I can't see anything more with 1024 x 768 than with 800 x 600 ( default ) ... :-\

As Grim proved you can't see farther. Also if you do that the quality on BC videos will decrease by a lot.

So we can use a small windowed mode, or a big full screen one... But we can't even use one in between. .-.

If you you make this against the rules then you should make windowed also against the rules as it is also editing the registries without a client function.

Post by: GavinGill on August 24, 2011, 04:27:02 PM
Tbh, you were able to change the resolution to give you a bigger view of the map. ie. If you left the height at like 600px, you could then increase the width till it went from one end of your screen to the other.

(http://i54.tinypic.com/5ujpfl.jpg)

(http://i53.tinypic.com/vqqvme.jpg)

@ Allie/RedEyes: I think everyone would be better off if you allowed certain presets or a certain height:width ratio. As long as the height is changed accordingly, width changes won't give players a larger field of vision. That way people can adjust the resolution as they see fit without gaining an unfair advantage. Everyone's happy.

Seriously Allie, things would be a lot simpler if you would just give me my mod powers back. It's not like I'm about to abuse them, even when I was a Mod I used them sparingly. =/

The reason that you are unable to see any further with 1024x768 is because it is essentially the same thing as 800x600.

1024/768
1.3333...

800/600
1.3333...

However, take a different set of numbers, such as 1000x500, and the view of the screen actually changes.

In theory, the way to see the largest amount of the screen is two equal numbers, such as 700x700. However, being able to view horizontally is usually considered more important, which is why it is normally the larger number.
