For anyone interested in running TOEE in at 1920x1080:
I experimented, and got it to work, meaning my characters didn't disappear/turn invisible (except for blue selection circles.) My goal was to capture 1920 x 1080 screenshots and chronicle my party's journey. I had already done this once ( a lot of work btw! ) in a previous game, screenshots being captured in 1280 x 720. Then I wondered if I could get an entire game in full HD. My setup is : Windows 8.1, Intel HD Graphics, playing the GOG version, my monitor's highest resolution is 1920 x 1080.
This solution is not 100% set in stone, meaning that hopefully it will work for somebody trying it, because 1920x1080 in general is not supported by the Co8 modpack, but is as follows--
* 1) You have to use/install the Co8 modpack for higher resolutions, although the highest supported is 1680x1050
* 2) Start the game once ( I believe it creates certain folders (?) Then exit out of game.
* 3) In game directory open the .cfg file (in Wordpad) and modify the video_height=1080
video_width=1920
"C:\GOG Games\Temple of Elemental Evil\toee.cfg"
* 4) Open MapList MES file in wordpad, modify EACH map area until they are all UNFOGGED- this allowed my
characters/party to BE SEEN in maps other than Hommlet- the game is unplayable if they are invisible.
For example:
{5002}{MOATHOUSE_01_Exterior, 481, 552, Flag: DAYNIGHT_XFER, Flag: OUTDOOR}
modify (copy, paste, paste, paste etc.. ) --to-
{5002}{MOATHOUSE_01_Exterior, 481, 552, Flag: DAYNIGHT_XFER, Flag: OUTDOOR, Flag: UNFOGGED}
"C:\GOG Games\Temple of Elemental Evil\modules\ToEE\rules\MapList.mes"
* 5) Start game up, and hopefully this solution will work, with an emphasis on hopefully, because even with a
goodly amount of troubleshooting I wasn't 100% sure. I am posting this anyway, because it DID work on my
computer, and getting some high res screens of this beautiful game was worth the experimentation time.
