HDTV Underscan settings.

This is sort of a complex question. I am trying to get NS to run on my HTPC that is hooked up to my HDTV. If someone is running a PC to an HDTV, you will understand what I am talking about. So I can't seem to get NS to run in the proper underscan resolution.

The proper underscan resolution I found with my TV is 1216x676 for a 720P resolution. I can't get NS to stick to that resolution though. I can choose to run full 720P, but it is overscanning. If I send in the -w and -h command line parameters, it will reset to default resolution of 640x480(?).

Does this have something to do with those 640_text and so on files in the NS directory, if so, how can I make it run at a custom resolution? Anyone?

    don't think you can force a resolution that half-life doesn't support

    1216x676

    Thats widescreen, right?

    Anyway: You could try to run hl in window mode, and then just choose a resolution that seems most fit.

    "Steam.exe -applaunch 300 -dev -console <b>-windowed</b>"

    Bah, didn't know it was software limited by HL. More modern games support these odd-ball resolutions, but not this I guess. Running in a window looks like the only viable option right now, as the HUD is kinda important... Oh well.
