Menu Graphics And Resolution Problem

[Neological]

I have a slight issue with the menu graphics, it doesn't affect game play whatsoever, that you guys might not be aware of. I had taken a look in the Wiki about knowns bugs and such and saw "text in main menu not aligned" and had no clue if this is referring to the kind of problem I'm having or something else.

The resolution is at 1280X1024 desktop and game resolution, full screen. What is happening is everything is being pushed to the right a small amount. As this doesn't happen in game play, it's strictly of the menu only. A bit weird. So I switch back to 1152X864 for a while, in a window, and see that it doesn't happen. So I checked out what would happen in a window of 1280X1024 and see the same menu shifting happen.

Here are some pictures to show what I'm talking about. They're dark because of the gamma and such.
I haven't searched on this yet so I'm just going by what isn't in the Wiki at the moment.

Well that's because 1280x1024 carries a slightly different aspect ratio. This is "solved" in the Team Arena UI code (that is obviously not used yet since no .menus are produced right now)

For now you'll have to define a custom resolution and width if you want to use the less mis-aligning resolution 1280x960. To do this, go into the console (or in q3config.cfg) and put in:

/r_customWidth 1280
/r_customHeight 960
/r_mode -1

if you're in the ingame console, type /vid_restart to restart the renderer into the new resolution.

Ah, so that would explain it.

I'll use this if I run into any other problems. Thanks for helping me out.

I'm trying to stick with my desktop resolution to prevent a lot of resolution changes because I am using a very old CRT monitor that could probably go out at any time. I'm surprised the thing hasn't gone out on me yet.
