[fixed] Screwed up aspect ratio correction for 5:4 screens

Post by Nuxius »

This stems off of this topic at Doomworld:

http://www.doomworld.com/vb/showthread. ... adid=37520

Basically, the problem is that when you turn on 5:4 correction, GZDoom squashes the display in the wrong direction, thus making the problem worse, instead of fixing it.


GZDoom, 720*576 (lowest 5:4 there is), no correction:

Turning on 5:4 correction.... [angry_nintendo_nerd]Well, that really accomplished a lot![/angry_nintendo_nerd]:

A altered screenshot of how it should (roughly) look:

A Vanilla Doom screenshot blown up 200 percent, for comparisons sake:

And there you have it. :)

Yes i also noticed this, ZDoom squeezes the image down, and shows a little more in the top and bottom, GZDoom stretches the image upwards making everything look too thin

It was a GZDoom only problem. The aspect ratio information for the software renderer was not suitable for OpenGL.

Glad to see you were able to fix it. Thanks a ton, Graf. :)

Strange that it would make it do that, though. Seems like it would just not do anything then, or garble the screen up... Heh, goes to show you how much I know about these things. ;)

I have absolutely no idea how the software renderer is getting the correct ratio from the values stored for 5:4. In the end it was easiest for me to create a new table with the correct aspect ratios.
