Custom resolution less than 800 x 600 in IWD1

[Guest Lux]

I'm trying to set a resolution of 960 x 540 with the Widescreen mod in IWD1 (the original, not EE), plus all the other necessary expansions. So that i can use a lossless scaling software to bring it to 1920 x 1080, since i don't like characters and monsters looking like small ants.

The problem is the mod doesn't allow me to set  x < 800  and y < 600.  When asking my desired coordinates it clearly states than X should be >= 640 (not 641) and Y should be >= 482.

However when i enter any res lower than 800 x 600 i receive an error message:

ERROR: Failure<"resource [chuHori6_%0%.nos] not found for 'COPY''">

Any other res (e.g. 1360 x 768) works fine though. I also tested it for Planescape Torment and that allows me to set 960 x 540.

The reason this is is because the Icewind Dales' Graphical User Interface is BIGGER than the 640x480, aka it's EXACTLY 800x600, so you CANNOT go under that.
Aka, try 1066x600. By the way, the readme should state something to the effect that you cannot do this in Icewind Dale, and about it's GUI.

This is only in effect for the Baldur's Gate games... not IWD.
