Please could someone tell me how to change the screen resolution of the "Play from here" window in UnrealEd for UT3?

When I do a "Play from here" it's within a small window (e.g. 800 * 600) but I'd like to have a bigger window to play in (e.g. 1920 * 1200).

Thanks!

I think it's in one of the .ini files in **\Unreal Tournament 3\Engine\Config and from looking through them I think it's either BaseEngine.ini or BaseEditor.ini. I haven't had the chance to test it yet, though.

open console and type 'setres 1680x1050x32' for example, for 1680x1050 at 32bit colour depth

Thanks guys. The RC and SETRES console commands both work, but have to be entered every time I "Play from here".

Is there a way to change the default by editing a .ini file? If so, which .ini file do I need to change and what parameters do I enter?

Try looking inside uteditor.ini in .../documents and settings/ games/ unreal tournament 3/utgame/config/ (iirc) P.I.E. settings should be relatively easy to spot.

Didnt know about 'RC'. Coolness :D

Is there a means of setting the default window to popup away from the center of the screen? I prefer running my setup with Desktop span, which i have to turn off whenever i open UED on account of the screen being split down the middle thanks to my two monitors o_O

Well I looked at various .ini files (UTEditor, UTEditorUserSettings, BaseEditor, BaseEditorUserSettings) until my eyes went funny and I still can't see which setting to change. Although I have found settings for just about everything else!



***Edit - I've got this working now.***

I edited the UTEngine.ini file found in C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config as follows;

[SystemSettingsEditor]
TEXTUREGROUP_Character=(MinLODSize=512,MaxLODSize=1024,LODBias=1)
TEXTUREGROUP_CharacterNormalMap=(MinLODSize=512,MaxLODSize=1024,LODBias=1)
....
ResX = 1920
ResY = 1200
