Popular Wide Screen Fix 2.2.0.7

Features​

• Aspect-correct "Hor+" FOV adjustment, including vehicle and weapon zoom values
• Aspect-correct rendering for first-person weapons
• Aspect-correct HUD support (mostly), based on Azarael's HUD Scaling Fix mutator
• Aspect-correct mouse sensitivity (scale off wider FOV instead of hard-coded 90)
• Entirely client-side - no mutators required

Install / Uninstall​

Extract the release archive to your UT2004 install directory.

Open System\User.ini and find the following line:

InputClass=Class'Engine.PlayerInput'

Replace every instance of it with the following:

;InputClass=Class'Engine.PlayerInput'
InputClass=Class'foxWSFix.foxPlayerInput'

Note: This line should appear at least twice - once under [Engine.PlayerController], and once under [XGame.xPlayer]. Be sure to change each one! (or add it if missing)

You're done! To uninstall, simply reverse your changes.

** v2.0 Upgrade Note **
If upgrading from v2.0, you should revert v2.0's GUIController change.
Open System\ut2004.ini and replace:
GUIController=foxWSFix.foxUT2K4GUIController
With the original:
GUIController=GUI2K4.UT2K4GUIController

Usage​

Once installed, foxWSFix works automatically, with no configuration required.

Resolution can be adjusted via the game's built-in console command:

SetRes <resolution>
* <resolution> - new resolution to use, given as ##x##
e.g. SetRes 1920x1080

SetRes 3360x1440

In-game FOV can be adjusted via the menu as normal, or via a new console command:

SetFOV &lt;fov&gt;<br> * &lt;fov&gt; - new FOV to use, given as a 4:3 ratio FOV (90 @ 4:3 == 106.2602 @ 16:9, etc.)<br> e.g. SetFOV 90<br>

Other Notes​

The FOV changes should be compatible with all mods, provided they don't use a custom PlayerInput class.

However, widescreen HUDs are provided for vanilla HUDs only.

foxWSFix stores its settings in System\User.ini as such:

[foxWSFix.foxPlayerInput]<br>bInputClassErrorCheck=True ;Check User.ini InputClass settings for possible errors?<br>Desired43FOV=90.000000 ;Desired 4:3 FOV per SetFOV command / menu setting<br>bCorrectZoomFOV=True ;Correct FOV values for weapon zoom?<br>bCorrectWeaponFOV=True ;Correct FOV values for on-screen weapon viewmodel?<br>bCorrectMouseSensitivity=True ;Correct MouseSensitivity for aspect ratio changes? (due to wider FOV)<br>Desired43MouseSensitivity=2.200000 ;Desired 4:3 MouseSensitivity per SetSensitivity command / menu setting<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'UT2k4Assault.HUD_Assault',WideHUD="foxWSFix.foxWideHUD_Assault")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'XInterface.HudCBombingRun',WideHUD="foxWSFix.foxWideHudCBombingRun")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'XInterface.HudCCaptureTheFlag',WideHUD="foxWSFix.foxWideHudCCaptureTheFlag")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'XInterface.HudCDeathmatch',WideHUD="foxWSFix.foxWideHudCDeathMatch")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'XInterface.HudCDoubleDomination',WideHUD="foxWSFix.foxWideHudCDoubleDomination")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'XInterface.HudCTeamDeathMatch',WideHUD="foxWSFix.foxWideHudCTeamDeathMatch")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'SkaarjPack.HUDInvasion',WideHUD="foxWSFix.foxWideHUDInvasion")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'BonusPack.HudLMS',WideHUD="foxWSFix.foxWideHudLMS")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'BonusPack.HudMutant',WideHUD="foxWSFix.foxWideHudMutant")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'Onslaught.ONSHUDOnslaught',WideHUD="foxWSFix.foxWideONSHUDOnslaught")<br>

Additional WideHUDMap lines may be added or replaced for custom HUD replacements.

For example, to use HUDFix's UT2k3 widescreen HUDs, replace with the following:

WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'UT2k4Assault.HUD_Assault',WideHUD="HUDFix.HUDW2K3Assault")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'XInterface.HudCBombingRun',WideHUD="HUDFix.HudW2K3BombingRun")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'XInterface.HudCCaptureTheFlag',WideHUD="HUDFix.HudW2K3CaptureTheFlag")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'XInterface.HudCDeathMatch',WideHUD="HUDFix.HudW2K3DeathMatch")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'XInterface.HudCDoubleDomination',WideHUD="HUDFix.HudW2K3DoubleDomination")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'XInterface.HudCTeamDeathMatch',WideHUD="HUDFix.HudW2K3TeamDeathMatch")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'SkaarjPack.HudInvasion',WideHUD="HUDFix.HudW2K3Invasion")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'BonusPack.HudLMS',WideHUD="HUDFix.HudW2K3LMS")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'BonusPack.HudMutant',WideHUD="HUDFix.HudW2K3Mutant")<br>WideHUDMap=(HudClass=Class'Onslaught.ONSHUDOnslaught',WideHUD="HUDFix.ONSHUDW2K3Onslaught")<br>

Known Issues​

• Some HUDs still have elements that don't quite scale correctly, particularly with ultra-wide (32:9 or greater) ratios. (e.g. Assault Rifle grenade counter, on-screen objectives, etc. - unfortunately these are drawn outside the HUD)

Compile Steps​

To compile, move the "foxWSFix" folder inside "Src" out into your root UT2004 install directory.

Then simply add the following to the [Editor.EditorEngine] section in System\ut2004.ini:

EditPackages=foxWSFix<br>

Finally, run "foxWSFix\Compile.bat" (or simply "UCC make") to compile the project.

Changes​

v2.2.0 (2021-10-30):

• Properly fixed weapon rendering getting offset when transitioning levels or exiting to menus
• Added "bCorrectWeaponFOV" option to control visual weapon FOV scaling, courtesy of Nootlord

v2.1.2 (2021-06-26):

• Fixed weapon rendering getting increasingly offset every level transition
  • (Note: Not applicable to foxWSFix99 for UT99, no fix needed there)

v2.1.1 (2021-06-24):

• Added in-game InputClass error handling to hopefully ease some install issues
• Updated installation instructions to reflect the above
• Clarified bCorrectMouseSensitivity (Unreal normally scales sensitivity against a hard-coded 90 FOV for zoom)

v2.1.0 (2021-02-27):

• Resolved AntiTCC issue with GUIController hook (see "v2.0 Upgrade Note" above)
  • (Note: All functionality is still in place, just handled in foxPlayerInput now)

v2.0.0 (2020-12-10):

• Configurable client-side HUD loading, no mutator required
• Fixed various issues with first-person weapon rendering
  • (Note: Omitted by accident from original v2.0 patch notes, oops)
• Integration / reimplementation of Azarael's HUD Scaling Fix HUDs, fixing a few minor bugs (such as Adrenaline meter not scaling in CTF)
• Automatic aspect ratio determination (SetRatio removed, no longer needed)
• FOV adjustment now applies to weapon zoom etc. and is driven by menu FOV setting (or SetFOV as before)
• Fixed issue where input settings weren't saved when adjusted in-game
• Mouse sensitivity now auto-adjusts to be consistent across aspect ratios

v1.1.1 (2015-10-07):

• Fixed optimization-related general protection fault

v1.1.0 (2015-10-07):

• Optimizations to avoid recalculating view FOV and weapon FOV every frame (oops!)
• Don't use FOV function as that calls SaveConfig every run, leading to performance issues (oops!)

v1.0.0 (2015-04-03):

• Initial release.
