[COD1] Changing renderer through assembly?

[keso]

Hi!

Recently noticed there's a custom patch out for COD4 (cod4x or patch 1.8) which adds/fixes some functionality for server and client etc.
I got inspired by it and a couple of questions popped up in my head:

Is it possible to do something similar but for example give COD1 true widescreen support?

Wanna know the potential of something like this before I give it a go.

Thanks in advance!

If you intend to go down to the bits 'n bytes level, the only limit is your combination of skill and motivation. ^^

And learning C or Assembler will always be a useful tool for future programming stuff.

The problem with that method is that it cuts of bottom and top part of the screen, hence why I want true widescreen :)

That requires changing FOV, which is considered cheating on a lot of servers. You can work around it a bit, or have the server set your client's fov cvar.

Still not true widescreen. Just cuts off parts of the screen, unlike true widescreen where you gain vision compared to 4:3.

I will look into it but last time I checked doing r_mode -1 and changing resolution to 16:9 makes vertical/horizontal mouse sensitivity scale differently which is an indication that it indeed is not actual widescreen.

nvm what I said, it is actually true widescreen :) just did some testing!
