Quite a few AGS games are available only in 320x240 resolution. For some reason, my computer will not play games in 320x240 resolution. Is there any way to:
- Get my computer to play 320x240 resolution games or
- Change the resolution of the game?
Thanks in advance!
Most games come with a setup file, which lets you change the resolution that the game is played at. Set it to 640x400 (even if the game is only 320x200) and play it. You can even try to play the game (in EITHER resolution) in windowed mode; it should work then.
I mean games with out a config file. The ones that are setup in 320x240 and have no other options.
Read this (http://www.agsforums.com/kbview.php?id=60).
Windows won't let me change the file name to "C:\sol\sol.exe"--setup. It says it's invalid. :(
Also,
The game didn't come with a setup.bat file. It's just the game and the readme file.
Basically, the only thing that setup does is run "gamename.exe -setup" . I think the double-hyphens are a typo. Also, the link didn't say to rename the file, it said to create a shortcut that runs that line.
You could also create a batch file (*.BAT) with the one line above (gamename.exe -setup) and run that. Call it setup.bat if you wish. I might add this to the BFAQ.
nelah,
You need to put a space between "C:\sol\sol.exe" and --setup.

No, that double hyphen is not a typo, it's required.
I take it back, then it's "--setup". :)
Either way, the point wasn't to rename the file, but instead create a shortcut that runs that command line.
