Yes the recent wide screen support in EDuke32 is good, at least for MODs and the ones who feel alright with it being somewhat less true to the original.
If you want to experience it like how it intended to work (as in the original DOS versions) - then the actual ratio should always be 4:3. Even when you used the resolution of 320x200 in the old days, it was commonly stretched to fit a 4:3 display.
With the current widescreens and the like you can try looking for some options in driver (NVidia/ATI) to disable stretching to full screen, and choose a 4:3 resolution. So maybe you'd have black bars or a black frame, but at least it'd appear like the way it intended to be.

But now there are no stretched Intros, HUD and menus in eDuke32 (on most recent snapshots) and everything looks exactly like 4:3 on widescreen resolutions (with the extended FOV, which is great). I was wondering if this could be ported to SWP (and Duke3dw).

It looks like Pro's site just got picked up by a domain squatter.  Here's my mirror of the files I happened to download two days ago. (mirror removed, site is back up) |

Hi ProAsm, I hope you haven't abandoned SWP, and I also hope you're doing well. I was hankering for some SW the other day, so I downloaded the latest SWP and got it installed properly. Works great, but I noticed a strange bug in 8bit mode. In the first picture, everything is normal. In the second picture, the palette is screwed up, I was able to figure out what caused this screw up, and it must be the palette change that occurs when you submerge underwater. This bug occurs only in 8bit, I think, and in both LCD or CRT mode. Please fix this, as I hate playing in 32bit.   Thanks. |

That palette problem normally happens in Win7 or Vista and used to be terrible.
I'll see if I can improve it further although I have dumped win7 and gone back to Xp.

Well, I kinda forgot to mention, but I am running on Windows XP. If it helps any, it seems this bug saves into save games too.

I've got an NVIDIA GeForce 2 Integrated GPU. (It's a P.O.S., I know.)

Cap'n, why don't you extract the palettes from the two original screenshots and compare them?

The map is WildWest.map, however, I doubt that's the issue. I can get this bug to occur on E1L1. Here are two E1L1 saves. Their names are self explanatory. |

Some nvidia XP drivers suffered from 8-bits palette issues. I don't remember when exactly this started to happen, but very early ones did not have this issue.

Ok I see the bug if I load game1.sav, but what do you do to get it to go from nobug (game0.sav) to showing the bug ? Btw I use nVidia drivers 175.16 dated 02/05/08 and have a 8800GT512 http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?cat=10&sort=&page=2Maybe for the Geforce 2 try 169.13 |

169.13 does not support Geforce 2. The newest one that does is 93.71.

I've got the latest drivers.
To reproduce the bug, just go into the wading pool and submerge yourself, then return to the car.
