Resolution 1920x1080 is possible?
Thanks.
I think that if you are able to run the game through the sc3u.dynamic executable its possible to play it on 1080P(1920x1080) or even higher 4K. However the sc3u.dynamic is known for being unstable and some Debian based distros dont run it well. I´ve just recently made a patch for the Windows version to run in Full HD. When I have some free time again I will try to dig through the files of the linux version more. And then I will try to make a patch for the standard linux executable of the game to run in Full HD.
In the meantime I recommend you to try to use the sc3u.dynamic to try to run it in 1080P or higher resolutions.
Edit: You can find the sc3u.dynamic in the folders of the game which can probably be found in usr/local/games/SC3U/sc3u.dynamic
Edit sc3u.dynamic? A try using leafpad, but appear in binary.
Yes. It is possible. The following information only applies to sc3u.dynamic:
In sc3u.dynamic the offsets are:
width1 F57E5
height1 F57EF
width2 F57FB
height2 F5805
The reason there are 2 sets is because of a branch that falls back to 800x600 if the read configuration is considered invalid. Anything outside of the built-ins are considered invalid up to 1280x1024.
Before running the patched game, delete ~/.loki/sc3u or the patch will not work due to prior settings.
# Set to 4K
from struct import pack
with open('sc3u.dynamic.bak', 'rb') as f:
content = list(f.read())
width_bytes = pack('<h', 3840)
height_bytes = pack('<h', 2160)
for w_offset in (0xF57E5, 0xF57FB):
content[w_offset] = width_bytes[0]
content[w_offset + 1] = width_bytes[1]
for h_offset in (0xF57EF, 0xF5805):
content[h_offset] = height_bytes[0]
content[h_offset + 1] = height_bytes[1]
with open('sc3u.dynamic', 'wb') as f:
f.write(bytes(content))
Default values are 640 (0x8002), 480 (0xE001) and 800 (0x2003), 600 (0x5802) respectively.
Example values for manual patching:
1920 = 0x8007 1440 = 0xA005
1920 = 0x8007 1080 = 0x3804
3840 = 0x000F 2160 = 0x7008
If you try to set these values in sc3.cfg then the unpatched game will fallback to 800x600.
