Two general questions

[~*PsYkO*~]

Ok I just got a new laptop and I got a couple questions..

1) On my old laptop which I played tron on I never had any sound, my computers sound wasn't muted it was just my tron..I spent 30 min looking all over for the sound control on tron and couldn't find it..could someone lead me to how I can mute tron?

2) My display is 19.6 inches in widescreen so on both sides there is about an inch and a half of black space so the actual game in play is 4x3...Is there a way to stretch out the game to fit the widescreen? It's pretty annoying because whenever a trail goes into the black space it looks like the trail is ending..

System settings->Sound Menu->Sound Quality->Off (I know, it doesn't make sense)

Hmmmm, which version? I assume you're on 0.2.8 or higher? There should be an option to pick a resolution you like better in System Settings->Display->View (or something like that). There's supposed to be code that queries the video card for available resolutions and the resolution you want should be there (if your vid card supports it, anyway).

1st doesn't work so it really doesn't make sense...and 2nd let me brake it down..all that does is make a square a different sized square...i need to make the square a rectangle..im 90% sure its impossible for the versions out right now i was just curious

Which version are you running? The 1st is the way it worked up to and including 0.2.8, but may not work in 0.3.0 (although the users that have tried it that told me about it have reported success).

Then there's custom resolution. Do it from the console. You'll have to search this, because ever since the game started querying the video card, I haven't needed custom resolution (I'm on a wide screen laptop too, and have run 0.2.5->current trunk on it, so I'm not going to buy that it doesn't work, you haven't tried hard enough ). Also, 1280x800 should be available to you no matter what, I added that way before 0.2.8 even went into beta, and it should be in the fallback mechanism if querying your video card doesn't work. That may not be the aspect ratio you have, though.

Edit: Try searching in your console for:
CUSTOM_RESOLUTION
CUSTOM_SCREEN
SCREEN
etc

I came across the following console commands when trying to get a nice custom cam, not sure if they would work or anything, but here's what the wiki tells about them:

Code: Select all

CUSTOM_SCREEN_ASPECT 	Custom screen aspect ratio ( pixel width/pixel height)
CUSTOM_SCREEN_HEIGHT 	Custom screen size
CUSTOM_SCREEN_WIDTH 	 Custom screen size

edit: meh i'm writing too slow -_-

0.2.8 It must be something wrong with the version downloaded on my laptop because I double checked tron on my old lap top and it had the sound off right so obviously it should work on the new lap top it just doesn't...I'll try to resolution later
