Resolution?

[Strahan201]

Hi!

I installed Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy from GOG and was using it. I then stumbled across OpenJK and thought ahh cool! This may modernize the game. So I installed it and tried it. Much to my chagrin, I still cannot choose proper resolutions from the GUI in game. I was hoping I could run JA at my native 2560 x 1440 or at least 1920 x 1080. I then found jampconfig.cfg and saw that res is in there. So I tried setting 1920 x 1080 but no dice. Someone on a forum suggested changing r_mode to -1 but no dice, the picture is still pillarboxed.

Is it possible to run JA at 1080p? If so, how? I hate pillarboxing and would love to avoid it. Thanks!

Hello!

(not one of the devs, just a fan here who has used this before). The devs added a mode to switch the resolution to match your monitor's resolution, you just have to activate it from the console (they didn't add any new menu options for it or anything).

Press ~ to open the console
Then type: "r_mode -2" and hit enter
Then restart the game and the resolution should match your monitor!

Note that the HUD UI elements will be stretched, but that's just how it works. Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot that did the trick!

While I have your "ear", is there a way to set FOV that way too?

Yes, I believe the command is "cg_fov X" (where "X" is the number you want. I think the default is 100?)

That is the default for EternalJK and TaystJK for OpenJK it is still 80 I believe and I think it cant go above 90 ? on OpenJK but there is a command cg_fovAspectAdjust if you put to 1 it looks a bit nicer but alot of users dont like that setting as much
