Elite Force II widescreen tutorial
by: Barclay

This tutorial will show you had you can get elite force 2 to fit a widescreen monitor.  


Basic Instuctions:

open up you .cfg file using a text editor (your .cfg file is in your base folder and has the same name as the user your currently logged onto)
note: If you have windows 98 you can find your .cfg file by sorting the files in your base folder by date.  The .cfg file is saved every time you exit the game.

add in the following lines

seta r_customwidth "x"
seta r_customheight "y"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta userFov "100"

In place of the x put the number of pixles you want for the width of your screen.
In place of the y put the number of pixles you want for the height of your screen.
You can change the 100 but for this to look the best I recommened that you keep it the same.
The lower the fov number the more zoomed in it will look.

Save the *.cfg file

If you have installed Oberlerchner's rpg mod there is another step.  With his mod when you hit the 0 key on the keypad you zoom in and when you zoom back out your fov (field of view) is back to the default (80).  

To fix this you have to goto the global folder in your base folder and open up the file called autoexec.cfg.

Then where it says 
set zoom0 "userfov 80;bind KP_INS "vstr zoom1""
Change the 80 to 100 (or whatever you put for the fov) so it looks like this
set zoom0 "userfov 100;bind KP_INS "vstr zoom1""

Save that file and then try it out.

NOTICE:
Currently the changed field of view will not work on Nades Off (and other servers that have it locked).  Once you leave the server and go somewhere else your fov will be back to what you set it at.

Also with the modified resolution the menues wont look exactly right but its not that bad.



This will work for other games like voyager elite force, quake 3, and jedi knight jedi academy but instead of using 
seta userFov "100"
you will have to use
seta cg_fov "100"
