Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
=========================================================================
old and outdated!
for the latest progress and version visit the download thread or ModDB Page
=========================================================================
I think i finished about 50% now, so it's time for a thread

What is this about?
I want to play Star Wars Battlefront II in Full resolution. For me it's 1920x1080. Well most of you will say that this is already possible and yes the gameplay works in this resolution, but the menu interface does not. That makes the maximum number of supported eras very limited (5). Furthermore the galactic conquest screen looks very pixeled and ugly.
That's what i want to fix with this mod. No more stretched contents, but completely adjusted values to fit the new aspect ratio.
What is already done?
- background over-stretching bug,
- infobox out of view in GC,
- profile select screen,
- most of the instant action screen,
- most of the multiplayer create screen,
- top buttons are too high and their hitbox is not propertly,
- some ugly code needs cosmetics

- instant action/mp create page option buttons are too high positioned,
What is not working?
- Multiplayer join screen,
What else is left?
- new background images that fit 16:9 format
- a lot of testing with different resolutions
And yeah i know you love pics, so here you go

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
Can this be implemented with the 1.3 files?

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
actually the 1.3 is a requirement for this to work. I use wrapper and code inserter to change the values and functions. This is not a shell replacement or something like this. Just addition

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
This is what I've wanted for so many years, but never got.
I know this is off topic, but I wish there could be a hack to support more than 500 missions, especially when I have a monster gpu and processor that can handle a Diet Dr. Pepper ton of modern games in 4k.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
So will this change the way how custom menu screens are made ? I’m guessing no ?

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
no, this changes nothing in the way we use scripts etc. It will just change some screens to fit the higher resolution. If you made a screen with hardcoded values instead of screen relatives, they may look ugly and you need to rearrange them.
I can tell you that everything is fixed so far. I'm only waiting for the new background images and that zeroed took a look at the files.
Finally one question, do you still use multiplayer? Because the joining screen is still messed up

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
So will this fix the era list + button overlap issue?
*And I was wondering if you can tell me how to fix these odd 'misnamed' era names.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
Well i don't know why you are not limited to 5 eras, but yes the overlapping will be fixed this way.
The wrong era name should be fixed through the mod's addme. If the developer did not change the name he is the first address for a fix. Of course you can also find out the era letter and change the default name of that era on your own.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
Do I use hex editor to edit and fix it?

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
i don't think so. I'm not 100% sure how the names work exactly. But it might be an entry the localization. Maybe you can change it through an custom core.lvl that you load with an gc script at the proper time.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
Incorrect era names are generally caused by mod authors not including Zerted's MergeTables addme fix found here: http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?p=350615#p350615

Can you pin this thread, since many modders forget and its really annoying.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
What resolution are your background textures? Can the shell use textures that are not a power of 2?

I think all he did was simply resize a 1920x1080 texture down to 1024x1024.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II HD Fullscreen
1440p is not pow(2), so no.
The new Textures have 3641x2048 and then i downscaled them to 2048x2048. I tried non power of two resolutions, but it does not work. But with the 2k resolution SWBF2 just needs to downscale to 1920x1080 and that has a better result then upscale from 1024x1024.
