Widescreen Resolution in Q3A

Hi

Have been away from gaming and q3 for a while. Just setting it up on my new computer now, which has a widescreen monitor. Default resolution is 2560 x 1440.

However the only widescreen resolution option I'm given in the game is "856 x 480 (widescreen)".

Is there any way I can customise the screen resolution settings in the preferences to allow for a higher resolution widescreen setting?

Thanks.

In your q3config.cfg:

seta r_customwidth "2560"
seta r_customheight "1440"
seta r_customaspect "1"
seta r_mode "-1"


What monitor is this? Sounds sexy.

Thanks. For some reason I cannot find the q3config.cfg file.

I probably should have mentioned that I'm running this on Intel mac, and so I had to download the ioquake3 port. Although everything in baseq3 is the same so I am not quite sure where the config file could have gone?

It's one of the new 27" iMacs - very sexy indeed!

From the ioquake3 page:
Where are config, save, and other personal files stored?

Mac OS X: /Users/YOURNAME/Library/Application Support/Quake3/

Or you could enter those codes above, then change r_mode to -1 and then do vid_restart

Paste it in a autoexec.cfg
