hi,

1st generation macbook, ezquake 1.9.3 (latest version for os x 10.4.11 afaik).

dunno why, but i can't seem to change the resolution & font size. it is unplayable because the text takes up way too much room. i've tried vid_mode but it doesn't change anything, and vid_mode restart also doesn't do anything.

this is what it looks like. any idea what's going on?

Dunno why vid_mode doesn't work but vid_conwidth and vid_conheight changes font size.

not working either :/ is my ezquake verion maybe too old and those commands are not available in older ones?! like i said from what i know it's the latest one for os x 10.4.11, all the newer ones require 10.5+

some more info. _vid_default_mode "0" doesn't change anything either.

there's no "system" tab in my options menu (was it added in later versions?)


video tab:


cvarlist *restart*


cvarlist *height*


cvarlist *width*


cvarlist *vid*

Any solution to change the resolution on the Mac ?

The only way to change resolution on OS X is through the launcher on startup. If it does not show up on start you have to press and hold some button while starting the app (CMD or ALT or so.. can't remember). It is not possible to change the resolution while the game is running. Can't say anything about font or console sizes. I never fiddled with that.

I was about to recommend to try out Fodquake when running on OS X - but I think we kind of require 10.5 or higher as well. The mouse API on prior versions just doesn't cut it..

EDIT

Oh this was kind of a thread necrophilia.. I guess no one really "uses" 10.4 or earlier nowadays.

Try out Fodquake for OS X - http://fodquake.net/

thanks a lot, it was the ALT key
