Total noob here...Plz help

Post #1by Fermbiz » 26.08.2006, 15:16

I just started using this program the other day and I was on it for about 3 hours....didnt want to get off. Very awesome program and kudos to the makers.

My question is this. Im running a 3400+ with a x800xt and the prog is running at a very low resolution. I tried to see if i can change it to 1280x1024 but I can't seem to figure out how. I tried looking up the answer on the net. I also tried looking at the cfg file but don't find anything about it. Can anyone tell me how?

Also, I would love to put some addons to make it look much purtier :P Does anyone recommend any addons?

Thanks :)

About resolution:

At the menu at the top of the screen choose Render and then Select Display Mode. A little window will pop-up with a bunch of options for resolutions and color depth. Choose which ever ones you want.

About add-ons:

Go to http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/ . There are alot of different add-ons there. Add-ons with higher resolutions will (usually) look better.
AMD Athlon X2 4400+; 2GB OCZ Platinum RAM; 320GB SATA HDD; NVidia EVGA GeForce 7900GT KO, PCI-e, 512MB, ForceWare ver. 163.71; Razer Barracuda AC-1 7.1 Gaming Soundcard; Abit AN8 32X motherboard; 600 watt Kingwin Mach1 PSU; Windows XP Media Center SP2;

You should also take some time to look through the Users Guide. It's available on the documentation page of the MotherLode.
