"S*natch's Worms Patcher" maybe getting an update

[franpa]

I've spoken to Des and he seems to be okay with the idea of updating his tweaked version of "S*natch's Worms Patcher" tweak tool for Worms 2 to include new resolution settings like 1920x1080. This thread was made to find out what other resolutions people would like to see added to this program like 1920x1200 etc.

1366x768:D

Just let him make a fix for Win7, I can't run the game for some reason. frontend.exe stops working, I have the latest update. 1920x1080 would be a nice resolution too.

The problem is on your end, the game runs fine here under Windows 7.

Good job, I only need 1280x720, 1280x800 and 1920x1080^^
And if it wouldn't mean a complete code rewrite, what about two textboxes for the resolution stuff and a dropdown for alignment x)

At least every resolution in this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution#Computer_Monitors

Why not just have a box into which you can type your resolution? That seems like the laziest (for the coder) and most effective way.

I already said that. But I don't think it's the easiest solution for the dev

I'm not sure how much time I will be able to devote to this. It may seem like adding a new resolution would be simple, but you have to remember; Worms2 was made (in 1997) when many people barely had a higher resolution than 800x600.

Adding certain resolutions are easier than others, widescreen ones tend to be a problem and ones with weird aspect ratios are also a problem.

I'll look into this a bit, but please don't get your hopes up.

Interesting. I remember the 1024x768 mod back in the day. Found this thread trying to figure out a fix for the game opening as a black screen with inverted textures at the top left. Google resulted in a bunch of the old garbage apps we used to make, lol.
