Viewport

[Deathrydar]

What would be a good viewport for me? I normally used 1920x1080 and would like to go to the 4:3 ratio to see more of the screen on top and bottom.

Thanks!

4:3 aspect ratio resolutions: 640×480, 800×600, 960×720, 1024×768, 1280×960, 1400×1050, 1440×1080, 1600×1200, 1856×1392, 1920×1440, and 2048×1536.

So just type those after /viewport ? Thought I needed more numbers. Don't understand this.

/viewport [x y h w]

The first number determines where you want the viewing area to start from the left side of the screen measured in pixels.
The second number is where it'll start from the top of the screen.
The third number is the height of the viewing area.
And last is the width of the viewing area.

If your native resolution on your monitor is 1920x1080 and wanted the viewing area to take up the full screen you would use:
/viewport 0 0 1920 1080

You might want to try:
/viewport 240 0 1440 1080

4:3 aspect ratio resolutions: 640×480, 800×600, 960×720, 1024×768, 1280×960, 1400×1050, 1440×1080, 1600×1200, 1856×1392, 1920×1440, and 2048×1536.

Assuming you play in window mode there's absolutely no reason to pick one of these. Just find how wide or how tall you want your EQ view to be and multiple by 3/4 or 4/3 to get the other.

Also you don't need to use /viewport at all unless you want black bars or want to play full screen. Otherwise just set the resolution in eqclient.ini

a 4:3 ratio will allow you to see further and and down.

I do want the black bars on the sides as I don't want my game to clash with my desktop icons.

Viewport should not be working with Project 1999: http://web.archive.org/web/20030930174044/http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20020724.html

The classic UI had a viewport by default. Controls were laid out around it.

I suppose you could argue that being able to customize viewport isn't classic, but the classic game definitely used a viewport smaller than the UI and had controls laid out around that viewport.

In short, you need viewport to attempt to replicate the classic UI.

This is accurate.

Yes I really like having unobstructed viewport.

If there was an overlay that would dock all of the UI elements. Perhaps with some quality artwork. Marble, granite and bricks. Its what the original UI had.

/viewport [x y h w]

You might want to try:
/viewport 240 0 1440 1080

This seems best if you run 1920x1080 and just want maximum 4:3 view.

Trying to make enough room for chat windows in the bottom bar just makes the view port too small
