About this mod

This mod fixes the resolution selection menu allowing access to a wider variety of options that can be changed at will directly from the game menu or during play.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Requirements:
Dungeon Siege 2 or Broken World v2.30.

Compatibility:
It should be compatible with anything.

Install:
First make a backup of the original System_Detail.gas usually located in: D:\Games\Dungeon Siege 2 or Broken World then extract System_Detail.gas in to DS2 Main directory and Resolution Fix.ds2res in to Resources folder.

Uninstall:
Delete System_Detail.gas from DS2 Main directory and Resolution Fix.ds2res from Resources folder then bring back the original System_Detail.gas.

Features:
Modified DS2/DS2x Tooltips.gas to change the resolution selection menu hint from "Select the screen resolution and color depth" to "Select the screen resolution" since the x16Bit-Depth option have been removed.
Modified Paperdoll_Positions.gas to fit the new resolution layout.
Modified Options.gas to extend the resolution range.
Modified System_Detail.gas to extend the driver identification list and resolution range.
Resolution range: Vanilla min-max 800x600/1280x1024, Modded min-max 640x480/1920x1080.
Index: 640x480x32; 800x600x32; 1024x768x32; 1152x864x32; 1280x720x32; 1280x768x32; 1280x800x32; 1280x960x32; 1280x1024x32; 1360x768x32; 1366x768x3; 1440x900x32; 1440x1080x32; 1600x900x32; 1600x1024x32; 1680x1050x32; 1920x1080x32. Though 640x480 is long dead and buried i left it there for posteritys sake :)

Additional Notes:
With the rise of modern monitors and mods that add high camera values i felt that resolution selection menu in DS2 is a bit lost in time and i had to do something about it. So here it is the fix we have been waiting for! Default resolution is 800x600 and capped at 1920x1080 and will not go over as the user interface and text becomes real tiny and can be bothersome after playing for a while.

Known Issues:
As you gradually increase resolution the character portrait becomes smaller. The issue occurs only for the player character. Ive looked in to it for a while and unfortunately i didnt manage to find a fix. If anyone knows how to fix this please lend me a hand.
