Happy new Year to everyone ! Yep, a new version has been released. All movies are now stretching to full-screen and also the mod now supports the... Chinese version !

I was oblivious to the fact that the Chinese version has some differences from the usual 4CD,2CD versions and that, thus, my mod was incompatible with it. Mephisto Devil Satan was kind enough point this to me and he even gave me the correct offsets which were found by kind sirs : a9214, yyfeng and maoliyuanjiu. Due to increased work load (and extreme laziness) I postponed dealing with this for some time. Eventually, they were fed up with my constant delays and did the whole work themselves. They have my gratitude.
So, hopefully, downloads will now shoot through the roof

As for the stretching of the movies, many thanks go to aqrit for providing the offsets. I'll have to say that they look pretty good full-screen, even in 1920x1080 resolution :


(Well, anyway, it looks better in motion )


Finally, I've tweaked the Celestial gate BAM to back to it's original size, removed the black borders and centered it, because the big edited BAM I previously included, caused slow-downs and displacement problems at high resolutions.


That's all folks. Have fun with the mod !

when the TSR logo plays full-screen it has a mystical effect

Can you make the video stretching optional in a future release? In 16:10 resolutions, the videos are all distorted.

I'll probably do it if I find some time. For the time being if you want to change this manually you can do the following:

-Go to Torment\GhostDog's-PST-UI\TPH

-Open exe_patch.tph with a text editor (ex: notepad)

-Find all 3 instances where "Stretch movies" exists and put two brackets infront of the code directly below them. It should look like this :

// Stretch Movies :

//  WRITE_LONG 0x0003F522 0x9090006A

(Double brackets negate all code.)

-Save the file (as .tph, not .txt) and re-install the mod.

the movies look fine to me at 16:10 (1440x900)
however it is possible to preserve the 4:3 aspect ratio
I was avoiding doing that because I didn't want to make room for the code in the exe
I just realized (I'm slow okay?) that since the game doesn't resize on the fly
all the calculations can be done in the weidu script

so I'll do it when I get bored...

Thanks Ghostdog, appreciate the mod

Tried to figure out how to keep the background drawing with the info windows open... I'm getting nowhere fast.
