PT Source Wide Screen

[tnrh1]

Hello everyone!
After a lot of time I found a way to implement a widescreen in the PT Source!
The reason that I'm posting it in the Dev section is because it's not complete yet and I hope that you guys will help me to develop it.

Let's look in here(src\smLib3d\smRend3d.cpp):

void SetDxProjection( float radians, int SizeX, int SizeY, float near_z, float far_z )
{
	s_DxProjection_h  = float(1.f / tan(radians/2.f));

	//Imri's edit
	if (SizeY / SizeX < 0.75)
		s_DxProjection_w = 2;
	else
		s_DxProjection_w = s_DxProjection_h / (float(SizeX) / float(SizeY));

	s_DxProjection_q1 = far_z / (far_z - near_z);
	s_DxProjection_q2 = -near_z * s_DxProjection_q1;

	s_CenterX = SizeX >> 1;
	s_CenterY = SizeY >> 1;

	float fWinSizeOffset_X = float(SizeX) / 800.f;
	float fWinSizeOffset_Y = float(SizeY) / 600.f;

	g_fZoomInAdd_x = (30.f  * fWinSizeOffset_X);
	g_fZoomInAdd_y = (337.f * fWinSizeOffset_Y);
	g_fZoomInDiv_x = (float(SizeX) / (320.f * fWinSizeOffset_X));
	g_fZoomInDiv_y = (float(SizeY) / (240.f * fWinSizeOffset_Y));
}

The original source didn't have the IF statement and it looked like that:

s_DxProjection_h  = float(1.f / tan(radians/2.f));
s_DxProjection_w = s_DxProjection_h / (float(SizeX) / float(SizeY));

I found out that if "s_DxProjection_w" is increased, then the game width is increased (which is what we are looking for).

No matter what the resolution is, "s_DxProjection_h" always equals to "2.68110371".
"s_DxProjection_w" is affected by ""s_DxProjection_h" as you can see and by the resolution ratio.

For example a 4:3 resolution would generate a:

h = 2.68110371
w = 2.01082778
h/w = 1.33 = 4/3 = 1.33

A 16:9 resolution:

h = 2.68110371
w = 1.50812078
h/w = 1.77 = 16/9 = 1.77

I'm not sure why h/w result is the correct ratio instead of w/h but the bottom line is that the width is adjusted correctly.

So if the code is right why in a 16:9 we keep on seeing black bars? I have no idea but what I do know is that if the value of "s_DxProjection_w" is equals "2" everything is printed properly in a 16:9 resolution:
(1366x768)

So bottom line the widescreen is working, but I had to change code that seems to be right! I'll keep posting if I find out more information about it.

I would love to hear your opinion and help me and you work it out!

That's the wrong way to add widescreen... u r not doing widescreen, just "zooming" the screen.

The "right way" its using this variables:

smRender.SMSHIFT_PERSPECTIVE_WIDTH
smRender.SMMULT_PERSPECTIVE_HEIGHT

Can you please share with us more about how to adjust them?
I set some breakpoints around the variables in the "playmain.cpp" but the code never stopped in one of them.

This code might be related:

if ( SizeMode )
		{
			//w = (int)((float)WinSizeX/4);
			h = (int)((float)WinSizeY/2);
			w = (int)((float)WinSizeY*1.34f/4);

			w += 20;
			h += 20;

			smRender.SMSHIFT_PERSPECTIVE_WIDTH = RENDCLIP_DEFAULT_SHIFT_PERSPECTIVE_WIDTH*3;
			smRender.SMMULT_PERSPECTIVE_HEIGHT = RENDCLIP_DEFAULT_MULT_PERSPECTIVE_HEIGHT*2;

			dist = 30*fONE;
			he = -1*fONE;
		}
		else 
		{
			//w = (int)((float)WinSizeX/8);
			h = (int)((float)WinSizeY/6);
			w = (int)((float)WinSizeY*1.34f/8);

			w += 10;
			h += 10;

			smRender.SMSHIFT_PERSPECTIVE_WIDTH = RENDCLIP_DEFAULT_SHIFT_PERSPECTIVE_WIDTH*4;
			smRender.SMMULT_PERSPECTIVE_HEIGHT = RENDCLIP_DEFAULT_MULT_PERSPECTIVE_HEIGHT*6;

			dist = 100*fONE;
			he = 3*fONE;
		}

But once again, the game doesn't stop in the breakpoint (I'm talking about the login screen).

EDIT:
it looks like when I'm playing with this variables that's what affected:

No one? :$:

I can't answer ur private message.. clean it plz.
probably u r editing wrong variables.
