I found an easier way of changing the resolutions no more searching for .ini files and editing them.

For those of you that cannot access the video configuration menu, heres an easy way to force set the resolution.


Open hawken:

Hit F5 to get to the console

Type in "setres (width)x(height)" and hit enter
Where width is the X resolution, and height is the Y resolution that you want to use.

You can also set it to window mode by adding a "w", or by adding a "f" to the end you can force fullscreen.


examples:
setres 1024x768f  will force 1024x768 full screen.

setres 1280x1024w  will force 1280x1024 windowed.


Have fun.

They're the wrong way around. X is width, Y is height.

Well, that info was taken from the unreal docs.

I guess they screwed it up and I didn't pay attention to it.

Thanks

Thanks man, that is a solid temp work around !! This is the only useful piece of info i've been able to find on this issue that works!
Thanks for taking the time to post this and help others Wonder if there is a way to alter the texture details via this too. would need to know exactly what the title is for the diffuse and and equiv values of ultra etc i'd guess/

Yes, its completely possible by using the "set" command.

Here's the documentation and listing of all those variable names and what they do that you were wondering about.

http://udn.epicgames...emSettings.html

Examples:

DetailMode
(INT) (1-3) Current detail mode; determines whether components of actors should be updated/ ticked. Corresponds to the EDetailMode enum in Scene.uc, also set in PrimitiveComponent, and returned by WorldInfo.GetDetailMode()

SpeedTreeLeaves
(UBOOL) Whether to allow rendering of SpeedTree leaves.

ScreenPercentage
(FLOAT) Percentage of screen main view should take up.

So you would type "set detailmode 1".

For those of you that are not programmers:
INT is an integer value, ie rounded off number no fractions or decimal points like  1, 2, 3, 4, 65535 etc.
UBOOL is a Boolean value ie.  TRUE or FALSE
FLOAT is a floating point value ie.  20.750, .06125, or 1.0

Just a word of WARNING,  back up your current ini files in the path
Z:UsersUSERNAMEDocumentsMy GamesHawkenHawkenGameConfig

and remember what variable you change.  During modifications of my ini files, I was getting kicked to the garage after every match instead of it automaticly loading the next map.   I think I narrowed down the culprit to this:

TimeBetweenPurgingPendingKillObjects=20.000000
if I set that to anything other than 20, I seemed to get kicked.

The good news is that if you completely trash the ini files, you can just delete the entire config directory, and when you relaunch hawken it will rebuild them back to default.

Have fun.

I'm not an expert.  I do not know what that is, but I have noticed that command in my console window also.  It showed up a few patches ago.  My guess is that it has to do the vapor trail for the sharpshooter or reaper.

I do know they seem to have blacklisted a few more commands in the console now, commands that used to work no longer are allowed.

I wouldn't really worry about it though, I don't know if it really makes any difference.
