Heya!

I was thinking, maybe your computer resolution doesnt fit with WC3's?
This works for me on WoW, League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth too, no idea if it does for you!

Im running Windows XP. Maybe this have an other shortcut or interface for Vista or Windows 7.

Here we go!

Click on the "Start" button.

Click on "Run".
Write there:

regedit

This will open a UI.

Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Click and open the "Software" folder.
Down there, at "B" part, somewhere you will see:
Blizzard Entertainment.
Here you'll see a folder called "Warcraft III". Open it, and you will see other parts of this folder.
Here, go to Video.
Almost at the bottom, you will see "reswidth" and "reshight".
My computer is 1280(Width) and 800(Hight).
Click to open one of those. 2 Options. Wanna be a man, go Hexa. Wanna be nothing, click on that one below. Type in your numbers in both of those, and start Warcraft III.
Better Graphics!

This really has nothing to do with modding/mapping/barely even WC3, it's more of a general tech help tutorial.

Why have an accurate description when you can have a less accurate one for minimal effort? :thup:

The image of the 'start' button is unnecessary. I'm sure everybody knows what it is without an image. On the other hand, an image of the final location within the registry editor would be helpful.

Also, a question to everyone who's tried this: Does this actually make any difference? I'd imagine it has the same effect as stretching a low resolution image, which is pretty much what WC3 does anyway. :rolleyes:

:confused:

Well, this tutorial is kind of useful, but it really needs to be written better.

If crazy_dead doesn't mind, I'll rewrite it.

Or if he wants to, that's obviously fine.

It fits here better than any other forum.

Leave him be. There are only some minor corrections that need to be made. I'm sure he's perfectly capable of amending them himself.

Cool. I've been wondering how to change that since I can't change it in-game, it didn't work :p

Click to expand...

I actually use a program that does this for me, so yes I use this method (in a round about way), and the graphics are better in my opinion. Not to mention I love playing WC3 in widescreen. :p

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
