5. Video Settings
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Supermodel may be run in either windowed (default) or full screen mode. It
|
||||
automatically adjusts the display area to retain the aspect ratio of the Model
|
||||
3's native (and Supermodel's default) resolution, 496x384. Currently, this
|
||||
cannot be overriden. Changing video modes at run-time is not yet supported.
|
||||
Supermodel may be run in either windowed (default) or full screen mode. By
|
||||
default, it automatically adjusts the display area to retain the aspect ratio of
|
||||
the Model 3's native (and Supermodel's default) resolution, 496x384, introducing
|
||||
letterboxing (black borders) as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
To stretch the image to fill the display, use the '-stretch' option.
|
||||
|
||||
Wide aspect ratios that extend the field of view horizontally are supported by
|
||||
using the '-wide-screen' option. This works well for most common aspect ratio
|
||||
and additional geometry will be visible but at extremely wide aspect ratios,
|
||||
objects will be culled by games, which are not aware of the extended field of
|
||||
view. Tile-based 2D background layers will not be stretched and will be
|
||||
letterboxed.
|
||||
|
||||
To stretch the 2D background layers, use '-wide-bg'. Many games use 2D back-
|
||||
grounds instead of 3D skyboxes and when playing in wide screen mode, this option
|
||||
often enhances their appearance.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Supermodel limits the frame rate to 60 frames per second. This has
|
||||
no impact on performance except when the frame rate exceeds 60 FPS on fast
|
||||
systems. Frame rate limiting can be disabled with the '-no-throttle' option.
|
||||
Some video drivers may continue to lock to the refresh rate.
|
||||
|
||||
The actual Model 3 refresh rate is 57.524 Hz. The '-true-hz' option will switch
|
||||
to this rate.
|
||||
|
||||
To change the resolution, use the '-res' command line option. For full screen
|
||||
mode, use '-fullscreen'. For example, to set a full screen 1920x1080 mode,
