Real 16:10 gameplay

Mean or not, I have to agree that devs did not do a very good job with the scripts. Sure, it works. But if you change something, the chances are good that the game will crash at some point (at another part of the code). Perhaps this game was not intended to be modded in the first place - but even then...

The lack of any 16:9 resolution available is probably a hint that the game was not designed with widescreen support in mind at all. So it's only a matter of luck if Painkiller supported widescreen and TripleHead with minimal .ini editing... Necrovision's extra layers of eye-candy probably rely a lot more on intricate scripts. Cryostasis does not a really better job, too.

Exact same script error. Wow, this stuff is much more complicated than I thought. Hopefully someone with better knowledge of this sort of things and a 16:10 monitor will look into this issue, I don't think I'm up to the task...

In which directory is your modified CWeapon.lua? Mine is in C:\Program Files\1C Publishing EU\NecroVisioN\Data\lscripts\Classes

A quick test to make sure you extracted the luas in the right directory is to extract all luas and delete lscripts.pak. If the game crashes, you got the wrong directory.

If you're sure you put CWeapon.lua at the right place, post the lines 230 to 250 of your modified CWeapon.lua.

No need to delete the additional files will override the ones in the packages - you better keep the packages otherwise you might need to re-install.

I said it was a way to make sure files are extracted in the right place, not that it was a wise thing to do when modding under normal circunstances.

Thanks for making that inescapably clear.

Hey, I was pretty sure I had followed your instructions to the letter the first time, but I probably screwed up.

IT WORKS PERFECTLY !!! No need to refrain from right-clicking with a single weapon equipped !!!
