Favorite JJ2 Resolution
 

This is for Single Player games, not MP games, since MP games basically require 640 x 480 for the huge chat strings and such.

Personally, I like 400x300. Big enough to be able to see stuff, but small enough to feel like a real platformer game.

I just like the usual 640×480 and I usually play in 16-bit for the added layer 8 fade color. Too bad Epic didn't add any in their original levels... Pfft... NOOBS!!!!!11

You missed 800x600 and 1024x768. I went for 400x300x8 because its the only resolution where I get a decent speed (except 320x200 in which I can't see anything).

1280x1024, 15 bit color

Yes, I do. Nobody gets to ask how or for screenshots.

800x600, 16 bit, Windowed (I like to keep an eye on msn)

biggest windowed

I like the options that allow me to perv at Devan.

I was gonna joke around and say "1024 x 768," but if it's actually do-able... Heh.

I play at the highest in-game settings, myself. I think that's...what? 640 x 480 x 16?

The highest resolution the game supports is 640x480, and I change between 16bit and 8bit depending on the level or what I'm playing. I always use 8bit for faster FPS in multiplayer, and 16bit in singleplayer, unless it looks better in 8bit, but most levels don't.

Not true, thats just the highest theres options for in the ingame menus.

How can I change it outgame ? ;)

hinthint regedit

I tried that before =P But I had no idea how to change it properly.

I've tried for ages through the registry and got nowhere. I can change the resolution to really weird values with JazzRes but that still can't set it higher than 640x480 (although it helped me make my window just big enough to see the chat but unsquashed so I can position it at the top of my screen and do other things while I chat =)).. If anyone has any information on running JJ2 at a higher resolution please contact me, I've been trying for ages!

I think Jazz2 keeps resetting the resolution to it's standard (640x480x8) when you make it higher.

JazzRes doesnt work.

What do you mean "doesn't work"? Be more specific please- two people have already reported it as working :P

800x600x16 ;-)

How?

Well said.

15 Bit, Ahh yes good ol 15 bit if you do that right in a level in the colon set the walls turn blue.
I dont know how you got to 1280x1024 unless that is just stretched.

So, care about telling the mindless audience how to play at greater resolutions too?

could it ruin the community if people play in 'normal' resolutions? tell the secret and I'll be thankful forever:roll:

Well, seemingly half of the people use non-default resolutions already, so I suppose the current situation is harming the community more than when everyone would know how to do it.

We must all keep it a secret to greater resalutions! (even if we dont know :()

then lets force them to tell the secret by....... well, fear it}>

:( We dont want to know! if we do we have to make levels completely diffrent.

really? I never really made a level focussed on one single resolution....

Is it a some sort of utility for JJ2?

Its a font.

I wonder how a font can change JJ2's resolution to 1024x768

Thats the fact.. No. You making your levels in a WYSIWYG-editor.
So you are using your current screensize! :)

lol you KNOW what I mean:Z

I´m too lazy for some hint games. Can´t you just tell me how? :)
But I´m also interested to know how a font can change the resolution. :/

Changing resolutions above 640x480 is difficult. Personally, I've never gotten 1024x768 to work. However, I'm sure it's possible. I HAVE, however, played many nice long games running at 800x600. I even made a test menu edit at one point, but I can't find it sadly. Anyway, rest assured that I'll release my solution just like ID games releases their products - "when it's done."

Crashes when you load a level unfortunately.

I see. So you need to do some hacking to change the resolution?

Hello Captain Obvious, how else were you expecting to change it?
Some magical program to go BEEZIT and pop into your desktop?

Version 1.20 of the game had the ability to go 800x600. But on my old computer it didn't work very well, the screen turned 90 grades to the left.. And about this sweet poll, I voted for 640x480x16, like most of the Jazzers here. And about the 1024x768 resolution, I haven't ever heard of it, but it's interesting.
