Support NeoGAF

[Durante]

I thought this should be put into a separate thread so as to not dominate the game thread with the discussion.

Details and download here.

Current features:

• Arbitrary rendering and presentation resolutions (only 16:9 though)
• HUD hiding (using the normal GeDoSaTo keybindings)

Bugs and known issues:

• Some off-by-a-bit scaling issues, making the output less sharp than it should be in some circumstances
• DoF effects are unchanged (still at original, low resolution – this is more apparent in contrast to higher resolutions)
• Probably some stuff somewhere is cut off. I saw some scissor calls and am not dealing with them yet
• Crashes when taking screenshots using GeDoSaTo
• Rendering resolutions larger than 3840×2160 don’t work
• Probably lots more

 

[Typomancer]

I had no desire to get the PC version until this moment.

 

[Irobot82]

Durante you are the best!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Man

Thank you

That's all I can say

 

[Toki767]

Bless you Durante.

 

[artsi]

Thank you, based Durante.

 

[SerTapTap]

Why even bother with your PC port when Durante will fix it?

Great work from Durante as always, but thoroughly annoyed devs don't even seem to bother themselves. I really don't enjoy this crap being a "prerequisite" for PC gaming.

 

[TheTux]

Thanks a lot man.

My notebook sucks so is there a way to make my PC render the game at a lower resolution/with lower details to get 30fps?

I never used GeDoSaTo before, what do I have to do?

 

[wmlk]

That looks SO good.

 

[PowderedToast]

4 year old game

looks so good. thanks man

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm taking it FROM here, so says Mr. Stewart.


Now we have to put a lightning joke in there.

 

[dmr87]

Not going to play the game but still need to thank you for your hard work, keep it up Durante.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

 

[diaspora]

Durante, is it possible to donate using amazon payments?

 

[robotrock]

Game runs exactly as it did at 720p at 4k lmao. Thanks Durante

 

[_woLf]

May Her blessing be upon you, Durante.

Thank you. <3

 

[Queen of Hunting]

how do you downsample without choosing res in game ?

 

[BY2K]

Wait, the resolution is locked on the PC version of XIII? To what?

 

[LiK]

Haha, Durante to the rescue again.

 

[Durante]

I need to sleep soon, I hope common GeDoSaTo installation/usage questions can be answered by the regulars.

And I dream someone fixes all the remaining issues and puts up a git pull request by tomorrow

 

[Namikaze]

Wait, the resolution is locked on the PC version of XIII? To what?

720p.

 

[Erasus]

Meow Meow Choco Chow, I'm taking it FROM here, so says Mr. Stewart.

 

[OnionPowder]

Based durante

Dat 720peezy

 

[BY2K]

720p

720p.

For fuck sake, Square-Enix.

 

[Blooddimond]

Wait, the resolution is locked on the PC version of XIII? To what?

1280x720. Because square enix. It's 60 fps though!

 

[Jotamide]

You should be getting paid for this.

 

[gngf123]

It's 60 fps though!

Sometimes.

 

[Htown]

So am I reading the other thread right?

There are no graphics options in the game AT ALL besides "fullscreen or not fullscreen?"

 

[brandonh83]

Holy shit Durante.

 

[Dr Dogg]

And I just updated GeDoSaTo a couple of hours ago

Top work as always Durante (even at this early stage).

¯\_(&#12484_/¯ ?


Anyway, great job, Durante!

 

[SparkTR]

I don't know what it is with Japanese devs and locking resolutions, before Dark Souls I've never seen that happen since the late 90s (outside of 2D games).

 

[Hugstable]

For fuck sake, Square-Enix.

Eh the game actually still looked pretty good without it since it was running at 60FPS and I forced AF, but Durante has saved us all by giving us 1080p Lightning!

 

[epmode]

720p.

Worthless.

Here's hoping some more developers read Durante's PC Gamer article.

 

[LeonDekoda]

Anybody have issues with text displaying properly in game? My Mini-map doesn't display anything. settings menu cuts off at the top, items don't show up, but are selectable.

Hmmm...

 

[GavinUK86]

Correct.

 

[ViviOggi]

How can one man be so based?

Take a long, hard look at this, Squeenix.

 

[Metalingus5150]

Tho I can't use this mod.
Thank you for your work.

 

[ChapaNDJ]

Based Durante did it again!!

 

[Jailer of Hope]

Thanks for the hard work, Durante!

 

[JudgmentJay]

Thanks again!

 

[Htown]

Correct.

You know, at some point I almost wish Durante and the rest of the modding communtiy would stop picking up the slack for these assholes.

 

[dmr87]

720p

 

[ShinobiFist]

I could get it to run in Window mode, but not full screen. It just crashes. But at least we got something happening, thanks Durante.

 

[CentroXer]

720p.

*Cough*

Because there is no reason to believe it. Every FF released on steam supports multiple resolutions, even FFVII.

I can understand the concern for the framerate though.

Probably some stuff somewhere is cut off. I saw some scissor calls and am not dealing with them yet

If someone wants to fix it: probably just need to redirect setScissorRect over the plugin hierarchy and rewrite calls that set a 0/0/1280/720 scissor rect to 0/0/RenderWidth/RenderHeight. I'll do it tomorrow if possible, but I might not get to it before Saturday.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

2560 x 1440 doesnt work but 3840x2160 does

 

[Gbraga]

Thank you so much Durante! Working fine here so far

EDIT: Oh, ok, I don't have anything on my map either, I'll give that a try.
