Nope, this is totaly leagal

And nice to hear it works for everyone

 

[ImmoWisp]

Is there a difference between using this tool an changing WC3's resolution to 1920x1200 in the registry with regedit?

 

[JakeCake]

Not really, but to tell people to start messing with the RegEdit is a bad idea..

Yeah, that's because my Server is done atm, I will get it up very soon! Or publish the program in a better way! Expect to see it today

 

[JakeCake]

The new version is finished!

It's:
-Faster (You won't even see the loading cursor )
-Easier (New description & info)
-Smaller (Less file size)
-More compatible (It will work with framework 2.0+ insteed of 3.5+ now)
-Fixed, it won't connect to the internet no longer, thank you for the error report "crazy_spray"

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Tried it, didnt seem to work. But it didnt show any error message or such. Should i save it anywhere?

Nope, what OS are you using?

 

[crazy_spray]

Thanks! This is a very good tool!
I also have a question: How does it actually work, what does it do to make it widescreen?

 

[TheBlooddancer]

I use Vista.
And Warcraft Frozen Throne. My current settings, wont allow me to have 1280 x 840 or such, therefor i tried this. Didn't seem to make the effect larger.

hmm, what does the text in the program said, did it detect the right resolution, and do you use 64bit(even though it should not change anything, but it's not testet on 64bit)

 

[_-nexXxor-_]

ok... I tested this little Prog on Win Vista 64

Works perfectly! BUT WC:III does NOT support resolutions higher than 1152x864px (this is the highest shown in my Option window!).
With your tool, higher res do WORK(!!) but the Grafic-Option-Menu shows a res of 640x480px!
If you don't klick this field, all will work!!!! (clicking will set the res to one of the awailible resolutions!)

just run the tool, and leave it like it is than!

greet's neXor

(rated 5/5)

 

[Forsman]

Its kinda easy just to edit the rows in regedit.. :|

 

[Super-Sheep]

I get error whenever I dl and run it. :l

 

[irisu]

yeah...

Nope, this should be totaly leagal

And nice to hear it works

Yep, it's legal...., i've played wcIII online at Garena, B-NET. plus, it's just resolution, the only advantage on widescreen Res is that u might be able to see much more about the game terrain at once

 

[Super-Sheep]

I got it work, but the only difference that I've noticed is that tooltips have more text per a row and font is a little difference than I had before.

 

[Znailxxor]

Thank you!
10/10
I recently got a new computer and all units looked so wide!
Fixed now!

 

[Wordok]

Thanks, works great!

I had a big problem with that before.

Your best!

 

[XS-Archangel]

[qqluqq]

its like a turned wide screen uasly my res is 1680x1050

 

[tomv8]

OMG TY SO MUCH!! AWESOME PROGRAM EASY TO USE NO MESS WOOOOOO MY SCREEN MUCH MORE PRETTYIER!!!(like my face :3)

 

[JakeCake]

Thank you for your kind replies everyone, and please let me know if any of you had any problems? I don't think anything should go wrong with the newest version, but if it do, please let me know

 

[qbrtux]

Simple, quick, useful and flawless. 5/5

 

[WraithSeeker]

Good tool.

 

[Lag_Reviews]

Omg it fixed windows 7!

OMG NICE TOOL!

I recently upgraded to windows 7 and noticed that I had to reconfigure my graphics card settings to get rid of the annoying black border some games had.

If you don't know what windows 7 black borders in games I'm talking about, well windows 7 had two black strips on the left and right sides of certain games and you couldn't make the resolution any higher.

But with this tool it fixed the black borders for Warcraft and it now looks awesome

Thank-you for your epic tool,
Lag_Reviews

PS: Think you can release the code so I can edit it to work for other games? please?

Other games wont work the same way, I would love to make a tool which worked with every game, but now I went through a lot of very famous games, and non' of them worked in the same way, all got a different ways to change the resolution.

For Warcraft 3, you can actually modify the resolution directly from the Windows Registry.

 

[kRaZy-bLaZeR]

Awesome! Finally fixed it for my laptop!
Rep+

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

WAS TOTALLY SUPER HARD!
IT SAID SOEM RESOLUTION NONSENSE AND I HAD TO PRESS OK TWISE!

lol I'm just kidding. Appears to of worked/
I have 64bit Windows 7

 

[IgnominiouZ]

It works perfectly. Pretty easy to use: Just two clicks, and even with the W3 on BN, it works!

5/5

 

[DeftheLynn]

hey, this is a great tools !
i used it on my windows seven 1680 x 1050 Res and works great !
since my WC3 only provides 1400 x 1050 Res ...

Sad to hear the problem also happen on Windows7, but nice to hear my application works as on XP/Vista

 

[EdwardElric]

Already what I thought, though I gave it a try, but my doubts got confirmed.
This tool doesn't really change the resolution, it doesn't keep proportions, it just stretches the original resolution to fill up the widescreen.
In fact it is just like editing the registry.
Not that I want to badmouth your tool, but the above informations should be mentioned in your description under all circumstances!

 

[Googlieeyes]

worked amazing it actually made the txt in game look way better +rep it is something i will keep for good (Windows 7)

Sounds like you've got a very special video-card. I'm sorry, but I can't help you with your problem. What this tool should do, is not to stretch anything or leave any black boarders, it's here to remove those two things.

I'm sure only very little people experience the same as you, so please, post your computer's specs so we can figure where the problem lies

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

I agree. The tool worked spectacularly on my 1600x900

 

[Dr Super Good]

I do not understand why this tool is needed. It is far safer and easier just to regeditor a fix than run a program that could potentially be dangerous (not that it is).

Because more than half of anyone that owns a computer has no idea how do do any of that, and would rather have something simple do it for them.

 

[EdwardElric]

Sorry that I didn't reply earlier, but I have almost no sparetime left over the last and next weeks

post your computer's specs so we can figure where the problem lies

I have an Asus G73JH (a Notebook).
Look here.
Intel Core i7 720QM 1.6GHz,
8GB RAM,
1TB HDD (2x 500GB),
ATI HD5870,
Blu-ray,
Win 7 HP (64 bit)

What this tool should do, is not to stretch anything or leave any black boarders, it's here to remove those two things.

Thats very interesting!
But, then why do people always write about regedit?
With regedit it is just a stretch (in 1920x1080px, finally for me...)



EDIT:
What I noticed, on the 1st page Windows 7 isn't listed...

Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2000, Windows ME

Could this be the prob?

Here are three screenshots of my results as I said that the exe-fix just stretches my WC3-screen:
In normal mode (1400x1050x32):

In your fixed widescreen-mode (1920x1080):

 

[Hero_Lief]

What it does is stretch textures, because the game engine makes it do that; notice it does not however stretch text. There's no change, because the game engine literally was not meant to render textures properly on a widescreen monitor; they weren't exactly all that popular back in 2002 when the engine was being developed.

 

[whiteboy]

really good! for me with vista i had it on widescreen already and now it just looks significantly better. nice work!

 

[EdwardElric]

What it does is stretch textures

After all...

[Dr Super Good]

Yes so does using regedit and looking at your graphic drivers...

 

[Hero_Lief]

Yeah, but this is simpler for non-tech end users.
