How to set resolution/color depth in an autexec.cfg file
#75065

I recently got All-Seeing-Eye to play FuhQuakeGL online and was 
wondering how exactly I set the resolution/color depth for when the game 
loads, since I usually add it to the command line to the shortcut I 
make. But ASE is loading the game under default resolution.

Under options in ASE where I point it to the fuhquakegl.exe, there's 
also a box to point it to a config file, where I assume it wants an 
autoexec.cfg, from there I can put in the proper resulution/color depth 
that I want. What exactly do I put into the autoexec.cfg file to make it 
run under 1024x768 in 32 BPP?

Thanks

There's probably a way to do this in a config, but I dont recall the exact
comand systax.   But you should be able to direct ASE to use a SHORTCUT that
you create to the EXE with the same resolution and color commands you used
to use at the end of the command line.  Instead of letting ASE find the EXE,
make the shortcut, then in ASE choose View, Options, Games - chose Quake and
browse to the shortcut.

Figured it out.

While ASE does allow you to select shortcuts for a game, it does not 
recognize the arguments you have set up in the shortcut, it just simply 
does a find for the .exe and we end up in situation we were in before.

But I noticed that you CAN point it to a batch files, so I quickly typed 
up a file with this argument:

fuhquake-gl.exe -width 1024 -height 768 -bpp 32  +cfg_load config.cfg %1 
%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7

and saved it as quakei.bat, placed it in the main directory...

All the percents and numbers are there for ASE to add in its own 
commands when Quake runs (for when connecting to a server, otherwise if 
I leave them out it will just load Quake and not connect to anything--)

Wah-lah! Mission complete!

See you guys on the battlefront.
