Guest Neko Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I can't seem to get this to work in IWD2. After reading through the forums I've tried a few tricks. The last thing I did was. 1. Install a fresh version of IWD2 2. Run IWD2 config 3. Run IWD2, play through the first couple of conversations, kill the first couple of goblins. 4. Install Widescreen Mod Then when I try to set everything up this is what happens: C:\Leikir\Black Isle\Icewind Dale II>widescreen\weidu-202-23.exe widescreen\wide screen.tp2 --log SETUP-WIDESCREEN.DEBUG --tlkout dialog.tlk --ftlkout dialogF.tl k --noautoupdate [widescreen\weidu-202-23.exe] WeiDU version 20223 This is a non-stable version.

SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED Widescreen mod Press ENTER to exit. But when I run IWD2 and start a new game everything is just in 800x600. I've tried this a numerous times now and I never get anything above 800x600 Here is my ini file after installation: ; ; Icewind Dale II - Configuration File ; Copyright © 2001-2002 Interplay Entertainment Corp. ; ; Alias ; HD0 should point to the directory in which the game was installed [Alias] HD0:=C:\Leikir\Black Isle\Icewind Dale II CD1:=C:\Leikir\Black Isle\Icewind Dale II\Data\ CD2:=C:\Leikir\Black Isle\Icewind Dale II\CD2\;F:\CD2\ [Program Options] SoftSrcKeyBltFast=0 SoftBltFast=0 SoftSrcKeyBlt=0 SoftBlt=0 SoftMirrorBlt=0 Tooltips=30 Volume Movie=85 Full Screen=1 Screen Position X=22063544 Screen Position Y=10646253 Font Name= Double Byte Character Support=0 3D Acceleration=0 16Bit Textures=1 Display Frequency=60 Resolution=1680 Maximum Frame Rate=30 Path Search Nodes=400000 Translucent Shadows=1 Sprite Mirror=0 Gamma Correction=2 Brightness Correction=0 Backwards Compatible 3d=0 Volume Music=100 Volume Voices=100 Volume Ambients=100 Volume SFX=100 Display Movie Subtitles=1 Strref On=0 First Run=0 NT Smooth Sound=0 BitsPerPixel=32 GLSetup Driver=-1 Shaded Selection Box=0 [Game Options] Mouse Scroll Speed=36 Keyboard Scroll Speed=36 Show Character HP=1 Maximum HP=1 Heal Party on Rest=1 GUI Feedback Level=4 Difficulty Level=3 Critical Hit Screen Shake=1 Show Quest XP=1 Duplicate Floating Text=1 Cheats=0 Darkvision=1 Environmental Audio=0 Attack Sounds=1 Footsteps=1 Always Dither=1 Weather=1 Static Animations=1 Translucent Blts=1 Tiles Precache Percent=100 Grant 2000=1 Chucknomitron=1 Nightmare Mode=0 All Screen Shake=1 Current Loading Hint=15 Locator Feedback Level=3 Bored Timeout=3000 Subtitles=0 Command Sounds Frequency=2 Selection Sounds Frequency=3 Effect Text Level=62 Tutorial State=1 Auto Pause State=0 Auto Pause Center=1 Quick Item Mapping=1 Terrain Hugging=0 Pause On Trap=0 Hotkeys On Tooltips=1 Suppress Extra Difficulty Damage=0 Hit Point Bar Sequence=0 [Movies] BISLOGO=1 INFELOGO=1 WOTC=1 INTRO=1 [Multiplayer] [Config] General=1 Graphics=1 Audio=1 Lock=1 CacheSize=175 [GameSpy] Enabled=0 Location=US If I check my ini file now it has reverted back to 'Resolution=1680'. I have the "Icewind Dale: The Ultimate Collection" package. It comes with patch 2.01. It also comes with a bonus CD which I haven't tried installing yet. I'm not sure if there's anything more you'd need to know. I've tried multiple resolutions but none work. It either always defaults to 800x600 or gives me an error telling me IWD2 can't run (IE. when I try doing a 1600x900 in windowed mode). Link to comment
Guest Neko Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 If I check my ini file now it has reverted back to 'Resolution=1680'. ooops... What I meant was, after I've run the game after installing widescreen and seeing that it's just 800x600 I quit the game and check my ini file again. Now it has reverted back to 'Resolution = 800'. (not 1680) Link to comment
the bigg Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Did you install the 2.01 patch? Link to comment
Guest Neko Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Did you install the 2.01 patch? The game itself actually seems to come with it pre-installed. When I click 'Options' on the Main Menu screen there's a little box at the bottom with: v2.01 (091311) printed in it. Link to comment
the bigg Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 v 2.01 101615 here. Download link hopefully here. Link to comment
Guest Neko Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 v 2.01 101615 here. Download link hopefully here. Thanks a lot The Bigg That was the problem, I didn't realize I had a different build of patch 2.01. I figured it had to be the same one. This is something anyone using the "Icewind Dale: The Ultimate Collection" should keep in mind. One hint to anyone who has had the same problem as I though. If you've already installed the Widescreen Mod then you need to both uninstall IWD2 and delete the Widescreen Mod before you can get it to work again. Simply applying patch 2.01 (the one The Bigg linked) won't work, since the Widescreen Mod actually rerolled IWD2 back to the old version of v2.01. So, this is how I did it: 1. Uninstall IWD2 2. Delete the widescreen mod 3. Install IWD2 4. Run Config 5. Played the game for a bit 6. Installed the patch The Bigg linked 7. Run Config 8. Play through the first conversation etc. 9. Installed the Widescreen Mod Now everything worked perfectly. Note: Step 4 and 5 were 'accidental' and can most likely be ignored, but since I went through them I thought I should include them 'just in case'. Step 7 and 8 were simply because I read in some thread on these forums (albeit for BG2 iirc) that that was a good way to get the Widescreen Mod to work. Thanks again The Bigg for both the help and the quick response. Also a huge kudos for creating this mod, I never figured it could be done. It really makes for a whole new experience. Link to comment
Avenger Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 It is possible to find the offsets for this different patch. The values should be close to each other. Link to comment
