More resolutions for Retro Mode please?

[King of Worms]

So for example you could have a 960x540 mode for 16:9 screens. The pixels would be exactly 4 times bigger than 1920x1080 mode. Then a 840x525 mode for 16:10 displays, where the pixels are 4 times bigger than 1680x1050 mode., or 960x600 etc.

Oh now I see. Thats indeed even better. To have the pixels in a 4x ratio so its not smudged. Thats a great idea!
And yes, majority of ppl use 16:9 Im just a dinosaur with 16:10 but I like that aspect ratio.

If we can add few such custom resolutions for both aspects, and make em higher than current 640x400 it would be really nice.

Or is it something to just downright type in the config.ini and be done with that? But that would not be too user friendly.

EDIT: tested 960*600 (1/2 of my current 1920x1200 res) and it looks really good plus runs in fullscreen without letterboxing ofc. But problem is, its applied to everything, including the DFU fonts etc. Retro mode is good that it works only on 3D view, thats preferable.

So in that sense, having 960x600 (16:10) + 960x540 (16:9) would be ideal. I would not add any resolutions lower than that, as thats too close to current 640x400.

On a higher note, stuff like:
1280 x 800 (16:10) (1600p 16:10 users)
1280 x 720 (16:9) (1440p 16:9 users)
could be ok as well?

Yes, that should cover the 'widescreen but pixelated' options.
I will probably add a '4:3 but high-res' option as well.

Cool, thanks a lot!

Since I'm already messing with this stuff, I'm going to try to fix the 'stretched texture' issue when using widescreen modes.

Also, would anyone be interested in a wide-screen equivalent of 320x200 mode, or is that just overkill?

[King of Worms]

Do you mean the stretched sprites, like, commoners being fat in widescreen?
I personally dont use 320x200 its way too muddy on my PC, but thats possibly because its not widescreen, so adding that one might be cool. But I dont think many ppl will use it and create confusion, so Im undecided on that.

I tested that 1280x800 and it looks nice, but ofc its smoooth because its not pixel perfect on my monitor. Still, it looks quite nice.

Btw I made HD top/bottom borders, in case u want to test them. I dont know how to display em ingame so Im not sure how it looks

Yes, that always bothered me when in widescreen mode.

The widescreen 320x200 might be some future enhancement. I'll try to stay more focused for the moment.

Thanks for that. Someone was complaining about the low-res sidebars on nexus forums recently.

I submitted the PR, needs approval now.
