Great job!!! That makes the widescreen pretty much perfect now! :D Even better, it no longer conflicts with UI reskins or the new biome system, as far as I can tell from the files. :)

Actually, perhaps the buy_panel_arm can also change the position of the buyinfo 3d icon?

The current version is in the dropbox!

A few more things we could edit, the shadow range for example, and the earth in the main menu, but it's mostly done now.

This fix looks great! I was just wondering whether or not there already was a UC no CD version?

Unfortunately not, but if you have a working noCD crack for UC I can try to make a fix for it ;)

OK thanks I'll see if I can still remember how it was done lol

It looks like the resolution was already fixed there. Do you get black bars with your cracked exe?

Hm, I just re-installed the game with crack and now I no longer get the black bars. Just insane stretching lol

The Z2F from my folder should fix the stretching. ;)

Oh, wow. I totally overlooked that file. Game is no longer stretched with the ZTF file included, only the (in-game) menus. Can live with that though. Thanks for the help ;)

Ok cool! Well the stretched main menu is not that bad since it only appears for a short time, but it certainly could be fixed too. I added your UC noCD version to the folder so other people can get it to. ;)

It's conflicting with RR biomes, I have no montane, cold desert, tropical dry forest, temperate rainforest, mediterranean scrub, polar ice or freshwater. The other 14 based on excisting ones are fine though, and show up remade and everything.
I stripped my folder of any downloads except the widescreen hack with the new zt.exe and had just the RR environment file in it and it wouldn't work, but as soon as I took the widescreen out of the folder and put the old zt.exe in, all the biomes showed up.

ETA: nope, hang on, seems I got it to work

Thanks for this! I have the game running in full 1920x1080 with very minimal stretching. It looks terrific and was fantastically easy to use.

attempted fixer of little things

Alright, so I'm a bit of an idiot. I'm not sure the best way to get the Widescreen hack to work, as in what files need to be tweaked and what lines need to be edited. Does anyone know of a good step by step explaining everything? I have 1980x1050.

I install the .z2f and download one of the other files. How do I know which one, and how do I edit it to fix my resolution?


Copied from a topic to keep it all in one place.

Download the Widescreen.z2f and the zt.exe of the game that you own (ex. Extinct Animals, MM, or Ultimate Collection)

then just copy and paste both files into your ZT2 program files folder, the place where you put all your downloads.
