Hi all,

Does anybody please know how you can get quake 3 to play @ 1600*1024 because the only widescreen option currently in the selection box is very low res.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers Edwin

A little confusing to do, but not too hard. Go to "your home folder/Library/Application Support/Quake 3/baseq3/"
In there is a file called "q3config.cfg." Open this with a text editor such as BBEdit or SimpleText. Then Change the line called "r_customheight" to 1024 and "r_customwidth" to 1600. Then change "r_mode" to "-1". If some of these lines do not exist, then just make them at the bottom of the text file. Launch Quake back up and you should have widescreen. The only problem is you can't see the id logo at the opening of quake, so don't think you messed up.
Revenge is a meal best served cold.
